First of, lets open the Level Tool. If you noticed there are three eye droppers icon located on the left. One white, grey, and black.
By using these 3 eye droppers, you can assign the shadows, medium and highlights to match you photograph.
Click the white eye dropper, and find the whitest part of the photo and click on it. Click the the grey to assign the medium, if for portraits I’d usually click on the face region or the skin. Yeah, click the black eye dropper and click the darkest/black part of your photo. Once you’re done clicking all three, viola!

Easy and good tutorial, Eddie. Me like :)
This is an easy fix way, I have to admit. But what if I want a better tone control over my image? I mean, we can use the Curves option too right? That’s the part I’m not too sure of ;S
Hehe thanks :)
I did a tutorial about the custom vignette a couple weeks back, I lost them when I forgot to backup the document files due to reformatting :P. Yeah sure, if you want to make it brighter just toy with the levels or curves or whichever :) you don’t have to follow everything by the book though, just trust your eyes :)
