~Level~


Level is an interesting way of enhancing images. Three sets of numbers are used in various combinations to achieve the end result of your choice. (black/mid/white)=(0-MaxRGB/1-10/0-MaxRGB)
*Note RGB=red-green-blue.*

Below you will find several examples using different numbers and showing the contrasts available using the level feature.

Notice the change in the images when the second number varies; and the first and third numbers remain the same. Also notice the difference in the results when changing the first and third numbers.

Level can give you a subtle change or an extreme one. The possibilities are endless! Enjoy experimenting and have fun!
