Igor, simply put: curves _cannot_ do what you want to do. In image processing terms, curves is a simple one-to-one pixel mapping function. One level in, a mapped (lookup table) out. What you want to do (edge detect) involves nearby neighbor pixels, so it's a many-to-one function. Convolution is on

Re: 2 PESOs: Looking from above

The Clarity slider in Lightroom works miracles (almost). The new dehaze slider might do even better here. Lacking those, a combination of midtone contrast and unsharp filtering with larger radius and smaller strength values can also achieve clarity. Watch out for halos, of course. On Wed, Aug 31
