I forgot to drop down the exact values but do remember the procedure since 
it was very simple.

For the first image: Highlight/shadow tool: shadow - 0, highlight ~ 7-10.
                             Curve tool: Single point curve push up near the 
upper region.

For the 2nd image: Curve tool: two points, something like 64/69; 159/188 
(Input/Output)
