Colour correction in Photoshop

1. Open any image
2. Open curves or levels (doesn't matter the settings will be automatically saved for both)
3. Double click the black colour picker (this opens the settings dialogue box: enter the following values for the R, G, and B fields: 10 in each click OK.
4. Do the same with the white colour picker but now enter: 245 in all three fields click OK.
5. Finally do the same with the grey colour picker tool- this time entering 133 in all three fields (this sets the neutral grey) click OK.
6. Click OK once more it will ask you whether you want to save these settings click Yes

By using 10 for the dark colour picker we make sure that we get dark shadows while still maintaining some detail- the same for white and 133 is the neutral grey.
