We are learning color correction in my class. Use the threshold. find the black point, use the black dropper in either curves or levels, then try the white. I'm not doing well with the white. She didn't show us how to mark the point but I remembered. I just couldn't remember how to make it go away.
Kimi, I recall reading that when selecting a target area for the white point, it shouldn't be a spot that's completely blown out (i.e., RGB=255, 255, 255). If you find an area that has at least a smidgen of detail, it works much better. Using the Eyedropper tool with the Info window open can let you quickly scan your photo for good target areas.
