Tabs
You can make a curve adjustment to all channels equally or to an individual channel (such as to blue to emphasize the sky).
Sliders
At the bottom there are sliders that let you adjust black and white points of the histogram (the leftmost and rightmost sliders), as well as the middle bend of the curve (the central slider).
Points
You can add up to 10 control points. Drag up to add contrast to an area and down to lighten the area. Multiple points can be employed for contrast adjustments based on tonal range.
