The channel selector lets you select which channel, or portion of colors, you want to affect. The default is to
edit all three channels, red, green, and blue, simultaneously. Click on this pull-down menu to select an
individual channel to edit.

The curve editor is where the majority of enhancements are made within the Levels & Curves tool. Within

of input luminosity values to output luminosity values.
