Adjusting a Tone Curve (Expert Mode)

In expert mode, you can balance the input and output data by editing the tone curve, a graphical depiction of the relationship of highlights and shadows in 24-Bit Color, 36-Bit Color, 8-Bit Grayscale and 12-Bit Grayscale images. You can edit the master tone curve or the individual tone curves for each RGB channel. This method of brightness adjustment is particularly suited to making fine changes to specific areas of an image.
