Light > Levels & Curves

The

Levels & Curves tool combines two of the most often used tonal enhancing features into one easy-to-

use editor. The

Levels & Curves tool enables you to adjust contrast, tone levels (brightness), and color

balance to make maximum use of the tone range and color gamut offered by a particular output device,
such as a printer or monitor.

The

Levels & Curves tool provides you with controls to make tonal adjustments to specific portions of the

active image’s tone range for either the entire image or to specific color channels, making it possible to
enhance the image while preserving detail.
