Summary: <p>We welcome back Nik Bhatt, of Gentlemen Coders and RAW Power fame, to pick his brain on editing photos using levels and curves: what the differences are between the two tonal adjustment tools, and how to use them. We also talk about understanding the histogram, and touch on editing white balance and why we may be using the eyedropper tool wrong.</p> <p><strong>Sponsor</strong></p> <p><strong>Masters of Photography</strong>, online masterclasses with the greatest photographers in the world.
