"Now let's go ahead, and brighten up our lava planet a little bit. As we can see here, we've already got it we've still got it selected, so let's go ahead, and let's brighten this up a little bit by changing the levels. Let's hit command L, oops well, there we go, oops, and now we're going to get rid of everything again. There we go. Back up to our planet, and as you can see, our levels have come up, our input levels. Now, this right here is showing us that we have really a underexposed photo right here, because a regular exposed photo would have levels that went all the way across.
