You're welcome. Making small adjustments, a little at a time, lends greater precision to the editing process. With big adjustments you tend to lose sight of the details. The analogy I like is to consider adjustments as a file, smoothing and shaping, rather than a hacksaw cutting into things. I use many such Curves adjustment layers, masking each to the specific area I'm working on, and "build up" the rendering one section of an image at a time.
