Tips on curves
Use Adjustment Layers whenever possible, because they are non-destructive. (Can be changed later).
Click the little finger icon to drag and adjust directly on the screen.
(With the Curves Modal Dialog only Ctrl+M/Cmd+M - Non Adjustment layers)
Hold down the Ctrl/Cmd key and click on a portion of an image to add a targeted point to the curve.
Hold Down Ctrl+Shift/Cmd+Shift to add points to the color channels of a curve.
