A P.S. to my post about this. The script is supposed to Reset both
the Levels and HSL dialogues before applying the settings I've set.
Does it do that?

I don't think you can do that in a script, JoeB - at least, I know of no way
to make it happen. Suz

I was kind of afraid of that, but thanks for the info. It was another
one of those situations where I ran the script and wanted to tweak a
bit 'cause the image needed a bit more than the default I'd set, then
realized I was on the RGB channel and had to manually go to the Blue.
Oh well, I'll just have to remember!
