RE: [photoshop-beginners] Quick "gray card" in PS

One thing about the image>adjustments>brightness/contrast is that it works a bit more destructively than does an adjustment layer.  The wonderful thing about Photoshop is that there is more than one way to do things and dependent upon each individual’s workflow one method may be a better fit than another.

I was just reading the thread on creating your own Gray card -

the gray card just adjusts the lighting for 18% or so. What I do with "All" my photos is adjust the contrast in 

image>adjustments>brightness/contrast +18% contrast and maybe -6 to -10% in brightness this always seems to add some snap/clarity to every photo. 

IMHO
