You can also click the color swatch to open the Adobe Color Picker and select a color to define the darkest shadow in the image.

Gray Input Level slider Controls the midtones and changes the intensity values of the middle range of gray tones without dramatically altering the highlights and shadows. White Input Level slider Maps the input white level to the setting of the White Output slider. By default, the Output white slider is set to 255, where the pixels are completely white. If you've adjusted the White Output to 100 IRE or lower, the lightest highlight will be mapped to that level. Note: You can also adjust the Input and Output levels by scrubbing the underlined text or typing a value for Input Black Level, Input Gray Level, Input White Level, Output Black Level, and Output White Level.
