Adjusting RAW in photoshop

Hey guys -

What are some basic tips for adjusting a file with photoshop. I try messing around with contrast and levels but still looks like shit.

saturation, color temperature (if it's too blue or yellow), curves to bring out shadows/blowouts. there's some basic ideas to curves that you should be aware of to do this.

just some things to consider.

Sounds like you need Lightroom not Photoshop. I love lightroom.
