Was messing around with Curves - I was really astonished by the extreme difference a few clicks can make to a pic!

Thanks for sharing! Can you tell us more about how you achieved the first image in your settings?

[Vik]

Well, as I was using Aperture at the time, I wondered what it would look like with the colours adjusted in the Curves adjustment - quite simply, I clicked in the middle of the line, and dragged it to the top of the window - the end result was beyond my expectations, to say the least - didn't think it would be quite so extreme!

The sun burst effect is worth exploring.

this from PS (the Curves Adjustment) - tried to get the line to follow the histogram...

...things seem to be getting very weird...

Ouch! That almost hurts...
