If toast always lands butter-side down, and cats always land on their feet, what happens if you strap toast on the back of a cat and drop it?

Adding more color to an image: sometimes,
an image will need just a bit more color. Here, the idea is to add
some saturation: +15 to +18 seems to work well. The left image is slightly lighter; notice the skin tone and hair color are more prevalent
in the "after" photograph.
Adding contrast to an image: make the dark
areas dark and the light areas brighter. The trick is to turn down
the brightness and up the contrast. This technique---along with
adjusting the saturation---works well with removing the "haze"
common to many outdoor photographs. You can see it in action above.
Using the Unsharp Mask: When resizing a
.jpg image, the image tends to become somewhat blurry or fuzzy.
Utilizing the Unsharp Mask with these settings in Photoshop
sharpens the image.
