How about: making a copy to work on, setting black
points (whatever that is), making or using layers. All
I feel partially proficient at is adjusting contrast,
lightness and watching how much the image changes as I
move the curves slider around.

I understand the concept, but this sounds like there
are a lot of ways to learn a lesson the hard way.
Maybe another article on the sequential steps to use
throughout the whole process.

Thanks Matt,
