Levels adjustment

[MikeR]

Yes. The point is the curves doesn’t allow any access to what DXO currently views as 255.

The point is with the tone curve you cannot bring “255” down to “240” and have 241-255 fill in with what was previously above 255.

There’s a feature request which may be of interest to those here:

Add Levels to PL3

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.
