Courbes de Béziers¶

Description

This effect is used to adjust the color levels similar to the 3-Point Balance but with finer control. Although the effect defaults to the RGB channel, it is mostly used with the Luma channel. See also the Courbes effect that does the same thing but does not have the curve handles.

Click anywhere on the graph paper to insert a node. Use the extended handles on the node to adjust the steepness of the curve leading to and leaving the point.
