Levels in photoshop = what in photopaint?

[whi]

Hello, everybody. In the first place I'd like to say how pleased I am to finally find a good forum for designer related stuff. I've been chcecking some of your work in the showcase section and I see a lot of very talented people. Hopefully I'll be adding some of my work also for you to see...

Now to my question:

I realise most of you work with Adobe products but I started using Corel a long time ago and I am so used to it that I'm too lazy to switch ;)

The programs have very similar features so theoretically anything you do in photoshop can be done in photopaint - except for one thing I have been always wondering: photoshop has a very good "levels" function and I haven't been able to find an equivalent to it in photopaint... Sometimes the classic "brightness/contrast" is just not enough, for some serious adjustments I have to open photoshop.

So what is the equivalent of "levels" in photopaint?

Also, any opinions on the photoshop/photopaint dilemma? Why do you think one or the other is better? - maybe I'll find a very good reason to finally switch ;)

Thanks very much in advance!

Both software are verry powerful in editing pixel based images... The equivalent of levels in photopaint is Histogram Equalization.... and btw... welcome to GDF ;)

Thanks!

I was trying that one but it just seems so difficult to get the result I want without the black/midtone/white controllers.... It seems so complicated... any quick tips?
