There are a Levels and a Curves adjustements, but I don't find any modification —and resulting on the image, on the Levels one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Layers 3 and 4 are identical except the nested curves adjustment is inactive in 3. and that is the magic: the curves adjustment on 3 and 4 is intentionally neutral, all sliders at default. So it should have no effect both in 3 and 4. but if its active it the levels adjustment starts working. the levels adjustment in 3 and 4 only modifies the alpha channel, you need to switch to alpha to see that white level is set. Hope that answers your question. And thanks for asking, i modified my post to make this more clear.

Wosven Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 Oups! I suspect a lack of coffee... it's effectively at 74% for black... To compare with the Windows version, nothing subtle, Levels work but sometimes it need moving the slider a lot to begin getting some results: 98% nothing happens, 100% nothing on the screen! Nothing but trying extrem slider to get a result: The output is more effective: But in the end, when compared to same Adjustements done on a B&W layer, where we can do subtle modifications, I would say there's a bug in general with adjustements on alpha channel. 1.10.0.251 nested alpha2.afphoto NotMyFault 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
