If part of a curve is raised by one or more control points, then the tonal area of the
image that corresponds to the source values within the curve are being adjusted to a
higher value. In other words, that part of the image is lightened.
If part of a curve is lowered with one or more control points, then the tonal area of the
image that corresponds to the source values within the curve are being adjusted to a
lower value. In other words, that part of the image is darkened.

control points anchor the bottom and top of each curve.
