Most fantastic thing explained I’ve ever learned. At 74 never too old too learn. I’ll be sure to use this info. Can’t wait!!!
Brillant comparsion of levels and curves. I'd never really considered that curves did all the same things as levels. I had always thought of them as different tools. Thank you.
By far, the BEST explanation of curves I ever heard/saw.... Fantastic job!!!
Excellent video!! You,re an awesome teacher. The best I’ve seen on TH-cam
PHLEARN is the best channel to learn photoshop. Simply and clear! Fun is a bonus.
The "best" video I've seen explaining the differences between these two tools.
I've been watching and trying to understand curves for 5 years and this one has almost all about it that's covered, thank you Nace!
Never get enough of learning about curves and levels, most of the time they confuse me . matter of practice . Thank you Aaron for reminding us .
Perfect timing for my latest project! Much appreciated.
Wonderful! Needed this knowledge. Thank you.
Clear, concise and accurate easy to follow description as always. Thanks Aaron, have a great day.
You’re an amazing communicator - and fun! 😃 Thank you!
This is the video I have been waiting for. Thanks Phlearn
Excellent work! In depth explanations, excellent sound quality, shortcuts presentation, content selection! Thank you Phlearn for your work, your contribution is enormous!
Been using them for years. Never knew about that ✋ tool in the curves editor. Nice!
Great explanation of curves and levels in photoshop. Learned a lot. Thx
Thank you, I have been using curves for a while but only in a rudimentary way, this will really help me. Thanks once again.
Thank you so much for a new understanding of the tools !
You are really good! You know Photoshop in depth and you explain it in a simple way plus adding some of the empirical stuff you can't find in the text books. Thank you!
Y'all are mind readers! I was literally JUST working on this! Awesome content, thank you so much!! 🙌🔥🔥
Thank you sooooo much for an awesome comparison of levels vs. curves. This made so much more sense than any other PS class I've taken or video I've seen online. I want to go back and re-edit every single photo I've ever taken now! Pretty sure I could get them to look A LOT better than I did before!
Great explanation. This is much clearer to me now. Much appreciated.
This was such a great explanation of how these tools work! Thank you!
Thank you man. I've started working at the Flexographic Printer as DTP Operator and we have to edit the bitmaps send by the clients, especially in way that you've presented in this video. I finally grasp it because of you! Thank you so much!
We're so glad this tutorial was helpful!
I learn something new every time I watch Phlearn.
thats a fact, well spoken & informative
This is such a great video and you explain both so effectively. Thank you for it!
really clear explanation and a quality photograph
You are the best, Aaron!! Great video!!
Excellent explanations, demonstrations and presentation! This is a really excellent tutorial and I'm very happy you made it; thank you so much!!
been binge watching Plearn videos today.Good stuff
Thanks for this video!!!
Fantastic explanation. Very clear and complete. Thanks!
Thanks for this video! i've been using levels a lot because curves just intimidated me for some reason, but after watching this i'm excited to try it out and have more control over the color and light!
Excellent tutorial! Thank you.
Great explanation! Thanks!
Learned alot frim this video. Thx for sharing your knowledge!
That’s a great tutorial. Thank you
I love what you do! - Please never stop! So few people know Photoshop well.... and even fewer know how to actually teach it!
Thanks! Aaron Nace is a great teacher, explaining PS with great clarity; sooo appreciated. Awesome video.
This was very cool! Thank you!
Thank you Aaron for another great and helpful presentation.
Did I really just learn all that for free? Thank's
Thank you!! Nice tutorial!
so helpful. i like how you kept repeating 'make my blacks darker and make my whites lighter' definitely helped with the learning process!
Very helpful! Thanks.
Yet another brilliant tutorial, especially as I have never really used either of these adjustments before.
Amazing tutorial! I have wondered for a long time (and used both) what the difference was, and your tutorial explained it beautifully! Thank you!
Love the way it's all so beautifully explained. 👍
This was absolutely fantastic!
Great Tutorial !
Excellent! Thanks, Aaron
Excellent explanation!! Thank you :D
One of the best explanations out there. Great Job brother!!!
I appreciate those tips. Like the Bowers and Wilkens speakers in the back ground. Great sounding!
God bless you, Aaron for these knowledges
WOW, thanks so much Aaron! I watched your video on Levels - awesome! And now I know the difference between curves and levels! Curves have always mystified me. Love your videos Aaron! Happy Holidays! :)
there's always something new to learn when you watch Phlearn
curves is the way to go... Its on a different Level
I have to level with you, that was one great pun...

WOW I had no clue curves could do this! Ive been using multiple levels layers + masks to darken/lighten various parts of the picture this whole time!
Fabulous, ANace.
Thank you for this amazing video
oh man, the best 14:02 ever spent!! thank you.
great tutorial. the explanations are good. didnt know there is so many functions with the function :D
Thank you!
Thank you, but what about press Alt with Auto button in curves to see more preferences of Auto adjustments?
Life changing tutorial! Maybe I'll finally start using curves now that I know what the hell they actually are! Thanks Aaron
Wowww awsume sir
new knowledge again !
Thanks alot ❤
Great!
Thank you very much dear master
Great video
Thanks!
Thank you, Nace 👍
thank you master!
You are Awesome 👌 Thnx
i love to use both of them🤗
This is so, so helpful! I don't know why I never looked up what the difference is, after all these years. I've instead always just avoided Curves in favour of Levels, because Curves is so unwieldy setting the curve manually. Thank you. 💐
thanks for watching and phlearning with us!
I always use them both, i use levels basically for the WB and then do the more precise control using curves. PS when you select the white and black, if you hover over the image and press alt you'll see a preview of the ultimate white or black point. This is a handy tip to find the correct spots for making wb adjustments. Sometimes it goes wonkers though
perfect
Nice Sir
NIce one.
You just earned a sub sir
If the overall colour balance it's good info for levels, if it needs fine tuning then curves. It helps if you take a picture of an actual checker card to have a proper reference.
Levels is like having a set of flat chisels. Curves is like having a set of curved and angled chisels. They both carve wood, and if I had to choose, I'd take curves because it does everything levels does and more, if a bit more complicated and inefficiently sometimes.
To bad I could only like this once!!! Thanks!!!!!
I've been using photoshop for 11 years now and I used to think, this was it. But i recently had to use the curves tool in Affinity photo to realize how old and limited photoshop curves were. Man they have color space options built right into the curves tool in Affinity photo, LAB, CMYK, Greyscale, all of it . Plus they have vectorscopes with skin tone indicator and RGB parades just to mention a few.
