Set 1: G Levels
Forget the in-built FCP levels filter! G Levels allows you to adjust levels, gamma and uniquely designed black and white curves to tweak your image to perfection. Apply it as an RGB or Luminance effect, and view the curve you're generating as a real time overlay! The special curves are designed to produce nice S-Shaped curves for use in Film Look effects.
G Levels has had a major update - it renders an awful lot faster, with much higher quality curves. The "Nice" modes are no longer needed because of the higher quality of the curve generation, and if you don't change the settings over the course of the application of the filter, the curves are pre-computed, thus achieving greater efficiency of code and faster render times. Because the curve code has been improved, the -2 to 2 range of the effect has been expanded to -100 to + 100 for more control and finer adjustment.
