So I have started planes spotting for like a few months and I have been using photoshop to edit some photos. Well what I do is when I upload an image I get a pop up screen like this and then I basically just edit the colors, contrast and stuff from there. After I click open I just crop a bit and that's it. I really think there should be something else where I can improve, where I can set up, but I don't know where, could you help me?

Using Adobe Camera Raw or inside Photoshop?

Either way, it's probably going to require using Masks. In Photoshop, you could assign an Adjustment Layer like "Levels" or "Curves" and edit the values. You can then use the Layer Mask feature to selectively show (or hide) the effects of the adjustment by painting on the mask.

Thanks for the videos, I'll probably learn how to use the curves and layers tomorrow because right now it is 12 am. Thank you very much for the help!
