Just use an adjustment layer (curves) and the layer mask instead, it is totally non destructive.

I was just stating the method I use. If I want to change anything later, I just save the image as a .psd file. But what works for me may not work for anyone else. I just do it this way because it is easier, and it lets me select the features I want to emphasize. Curves may not bring out all the definitions as you would want, therefore I always use layers, along with the masking tool.
