Learn how to sharpen an image on the edges only with this Photoshop tutorial.

* Blending of the tone mapped image with another image to restore realism.

I'm going to start this essay with a provocative statement: Anyone who is, or wants to be doing image editing at a professional level needs to be as comfortable with Curves as they are with breathing.

Think of Curves as your one shopping source for improving images the way the pros do.
