Adjust the color balance to remove unwanted color casts or to correct oversaturated or undersaturated colors. See

Adjust the tonal range.
Begin tonal corrections by adjusting the values of the extreme highlight and shadow pixels in the image, setting an
overall tonal range for the image. This process is known as setting the highlights and shadows or setting the white and
black points.

Setting the highlights and shadows typically redistributes the midtone pixels appropriately. However, you may need

(Optional) Target the image for press characteristics.
Use the Output sliders in the Levels dialog box or the Curves dialog box to bring important details in the highlights

Because sharpening increases the contrast of neighboring pixels, it’s possible that some pixels in critical areas might
become unprintable on the press that you’re using. For this reason, it’s best to fine-tune the output settings after
sharpening. For more information on adjusting the output settings, see “Setting highlight and shadow target values”
