I would like to learn more about the photoshop since I have jsut started photography. Anyway I have a problem with this auto level first. The picture is somehow dark, i.e underexposed. So when I click on auto level, how come it doesn't gives the picture I want?? So then I move to curve to purposely more the colour brighter. Am I doing the right thing??

Should the format of adjustment be like this?

Auto level --if fail ---> curves + auto colour(if needed)

or maybe someone should teach on what each of the purpose serves

Do you know WHY you dun get what you want with Auto Level? Simple, becoz since it's 'auto' it's the SOFTWARE that's deciding how the image will be, not YOU.

I would suggest adjusting the level yourself. If you are using Photoshop, move the sliders below the histogram left or right to make it either brighter or darker.

Before you wanna do any post processing, calibrate your monitor first.
