This month we will have items that address all levels of competencies.

For the inexperienced, we will have some simple tips for your photo editing and an example of using local adjustments in Lightroom to make an image pop.

For Photoshop users, we will have a look at an adjustment that often puts fear into the hearts of photographers – curves.
