Add Levels to PL3

[dterry801]

In the LIGHT panel, ot would be helpful if there were a Levels adjustment, in addition to the Curves adjustment that is there.

I agree this is a great idea.
A true “Levels” tool that can be used to recover highlights would especially be useful. (For instance if I lower the output range from 255 to 240, instead of clipping the output at 240, you should bring the highlights in the source that are above 255 down into the 240-255 range.

A levels tool like this really will help to make contrast and brightness adjustments easily with one tool.

There is some good discussion about Levels tool here:

Levels adjustment

Photo Lab does not have a specific Levels adjustment, or at least does not have one I could find when I looked. The closest thing I could find was the Tone Curve… Does adjusting the black and white ends of the Tone Curve do the same thing as adjusting the black and white levels? And does adjusting the middle of the Curve do the same thing as adjusting the Levels midpoint? Or are those adjustments different?
