I am trying to pull a matte by adjusting over/under thresholds with the =
curves effect. I can tell what values I want to have go to white and =
which to black and would love to be able to simply enter those somewhere =
in the curves effect. But I see no way to enter values and don't know =
enough about expressions to figure out whether it can be done that way.

I did experiment with Levels - Individual Controls and found I could =
achieve what I wanted with this effect, although it took 6 numerical =
entries. So I do have a work around. But it seems to me I should be able =
to do this quicker with a curve controller so now am curious whether or =
not it's possible.

Thanks for any advice.
