Manually adjust levels in an image based on luminance
To manually adjust the overall tonality of an image without affecting its color cast, you use the
Levels adjustment controls based on a histogram that shows luminance. When the histogram is
set to show luminance, it displays the cumulative brightness values for all three color channels
for each pixel.
