STEP THREE: In this step I boost-

ed the Clarity to add definition

and make the lights stand out

more. I also increased the

Vibrance to add some color

saturation to the scene.

STEP FOUR: In most instances

I find I can make all the light-

ness and contrast adjustments

using just the Basic panel

controls. At the very least,

I can use the Basic panel

adjustments to do the heavy

lifting and use the Tone Curve

panel to fine-tune the contrast.

Here, I edited the Tone Curve

settings to lighten the midtones

and add a contrast kick to the

extreme highlights. Notice how

I also dragged the shadow tone

range split point slider (the

slider below the curve on the

left) as far left as possible, and

the highlight tone range split

point slider (the slider below

the curve on the right) as far

right as possible.
