The bottom one has no sliders that I can find. (I am looking at the "Preview Hist." tab.) Thanks in advance.

Moving the sliders just rewrites those numbers. Before this latest version I would just enter the numbers manually (they can get small ".005". But they can't get less than zero. It was when the numbers for "white" got so small that I couldn't move the slider anymore. But then I realized there wasn't much point to it either. "0" means "take it all". Larger number than 0 start translating the top-end of "grey-to-white" to white. 0 - don't do any (forget the term) "kipping" ? ? .05 - start giving me white a little earlier than usual (these numbers are percentages I think) 1 - really early (for a very flat negative) (= turn the top 1% of the pixels to white) 2 - even flatter negative. The same thing for black ... but the other end of the scale. Then in color you can adjust red, green, and blue individually. I've never done that, but it could come in handy for mixed lighting. No defense here ... the interface is rotten. But it gives you a lot of control.
