Henry,

First you can create an adjustment layer to adjust for contrast and or density.

Second a transfer function can be converted to a curve and applied in a layer as well.

Remember layers can be "turned off or on" to view your unadjusted image.

In short there are a lot of ways to skin this cat. Get Burkholder's book for lot's of details.

Finally avoid using the autolevels and auto anything to adjust your image as it usually doesn't give the best results.
