I didn't do anything to this besides auto levels and saved according to the process I explained on the previous page:

I've been trying to figure out which lighthouse this is...
it looks like Thunder Bay, but I'm not sure...
It certainly isn't Two Harbors or the Superior breakwater...

Well, then skip the auto levels because it forced too much to black... but the main issue here was forgetting to tag it sRGB

ah, that'll do it.

I never use Auto Levels.

Just go in and tweak it yourself...much better results and control.

no way? more control than using an automatic tool?

Shit head. I was merely commenting that it isn't the best advice.

Inter-obsess much?

Thanks for the new wallpaper (I hope you don't mind). It's quite a contrast from my previous wallpaper (that beautiful shot of the trees, water and rain, also one of yours).

I love this photo.

I always use auto levels as a starting point, but I also use the hell out of the history brush, level fading and other techniques that reduce the effect of auto levels. Unless I'm scanning film, it does a great job of finding the blacks and whites and normalizing the photo color.

Oh and I just got home and noticed there is no shadow detail loss in the blacks on my LCD. The colors are wacked out because the original image wasn't tagged, so PS assigned Adobe 1998 instead of sRGB to it automatically (since I have A98 set as my default color space). If it had been tagged, PS would have used the proper color pallette.
