When you click on the browse button there is a small link next to it that allows you to add an additional image.
BTW please try to save the screens as JPG files...some of the students might not be able to open them as a JP2.

BTW again...Your L curve is adding contrast to the image in areas that it might not need it.
If you Use the threshold feature of CM you might like the results better.
We'll cover this more in week 1 but if you hover the mouse over the right or left edge of the frame you can drag the edge of the curve frame to the center on each side to get the contrast without losing tonality...Also one of the by products in LAB can be de-saturation of the image...use the Saturation slider to restore some of the lost color when you adjust the L curve.

I used CM Wizard; then strengthened the sky in PSE; and finally used a touch of Neat Image to smooth the sky.

Not bad...
you might be able to add some more contrast later in the course we'll get into some things that will help
