Make a bit of an S out of it. Get that middle part of the S more vertical. Which is as I understand it "increase gamma". That's what I would do at least. Sometimes I'm a curves guy other times a levels. To me this is a job for command m curves mode. A slight 7 second tweak. Mark Rabiner Photography Portland Oregon http://rabinergroup.com/
