Edit; Boy, it's certainly lighter. I'm not sure if I like it quite as much, I guess I'm kind of fond of the dark tones.

That's where Curves really has an advantage over Levels, tools-wise. When you get your Curves mojo working, you have much finer control; you can bring in some lighter lights and darker darks and leave most of your middle tones untouched.

Very nice work. I will have to look at getting a hold of gimp...

Really great. For those that are just seeing this version, Feral is being very modest. Have a read through the WIP thread, it's definitely worth it.

I like the lighter version. I agree that the curves are also a good tool to look into. Equally, light text on a dark background might work well. TheRedEpic does this to great effect with his maps.
