Yes, Photoshop does have a curve tool!

The curve tool is located in the “Layers” menu, and can be used to adjust the brightness, contrast, and color of your image. It’s a great way to fine-tune your photos and make them look their best.

To use the curve tool, first select the layer you want to adjust. Then, click on the “Curves” icon in the “Layers” menu. A new window will open up with a graph.

On the graph, you’ll see a line that represents the tonal range of your image. The left side of the line represents the shadows, while the right side represents the highlights. You can click and drag on this line to adjust the brightness of your image.

To adjust the contrast, you’ll need to add points to the line. To do this, click on the line and then click and drag up or down. The more points you add, the more contrast your image will have.

To change the color of your image, you’ll need to use the Hue/Saturation tool. This tool is located in the “Image” menu. With this tool, you can change the hue (the color), saturation (the amount of color), and lightness (the brightness) of your image.

The curve tool is a great way to fine-tune your images in Photoshop. With it, you can adjust the brightness, contrast, and color of your photos to make them look their best.

So there you have it – Photoshop does have a curve tool! This handy tool allows you to make quick adjustments to brightness, contrast and colour in order to get your photos looking just right.

PRO TIP: If you are looking for a curve tool in Photoshop, you will not find one. There are many workarounds and plugins that will allow you to create the same effect, but there is no built-in tool.
