1. The tool that worked the best for the first image was the curves to get the best texture in the photo without losing detail that was important to the picture.
2. The tool that worked the best for the second picture was the bright/contrast because it allowed the picture to not be too contrasted while giving it nice brightness. 
3. The tool that was the easiest to manipulate was the curves tool. It gave the user a lot of different options to obtain the optimum outcome.
4. The image looked better better after applying some filters to the black and white photos. The contrast in the images was stronger in some and it gave more emphasis on the main objects in the picture. But overall, I believed that the original pictures without changing to black and white looks the best.
