While struggling to get through a backlog of negatives, and only due to the will and mercy of Allah azza wa jall, I remembered a discussion about color correction with the levels panel and decided to give it a try. After only 5 or 6 minutes, I realized that this a much better method than the one I used before and I made this quick video in hopes that it would help someone.
