Contrast
Original.
My quick fix using Windows Photo Gallery for Vista, which is admittedly rather like copyediting with a Sharpie.
Picnik's auto-fix. The high contrast looks better, but I'm not sure that I like it better. It's not quite what I remember seeing. Does that make any sense?

Yes, it makes perfect sense. I struggle some with editing like that, but I generally prefer to make things look better, as long as they still look plausible. I usually up the saturation, and sometimes up the contrast too.
How about this? Just a bit of adjustments in the gimp.
Most images can benefit from a gentle s-curve. Plus I also up the saturation, and apply sharpening.
Hmm.
Uh, what is the S-curve? It just makes me think of a certain part of Lake Shore Drive that no longer exists.
I assumed that referred to the compositional element. I guess I'm wrong?
LMAO! An s-curve is a way to up the contrast of an image. It's a reference to the shape formed in the curves tool of an image editor.
GIMP (and Photoshop as well) allow you to adjust brightness/contrast with a curve. In GIMP, you would select Curves from the Colors menu.
I would assume he was referring to the 'curves' tool in photo editing software. It starts out as linear progression but if you make the curve look more like the letter S reflected across the main diagonal then you get more contrast in the image.
I'm LMAO that people assume I load and edit photos individually in Photoshop. I do have other things to do with my life!
No it's funny that you brought up the former alignment of lsd.
