Figure 9-15. Many people prefer to use Color Curves for artwork and special effects rather than
adjusting photos. Jimi Hendrix fans may like the Adjust Color Curves dialog box's Solarize preset,
which Adobe includes to give you a starting point for funky pictures like this one. (Others say this
preset should serve as a warning about going overboard with this tool.) You can also apply the
Solarize adjustment to part of a photo with the Smart Brush tool (page 233). But if you use the
brush method, you can't edit the settings afterward, so you may prefer to apply Solarize using Col-
or Curves on a duplicate layer.
