I don’t quite understand... Are you going to CMYK a picture or what are you going to do?

Curve then levels if needed. Sometimes it's hard to digitize a print, because your method of input (scanner, camera) may read some tones differently than say another model scanner or camera. Sometimes you may only need to adjust the red hues or green hues, in which case you would work with curves so no to affect other ranges of color, at least that's what I've found in my experience
