What can be adjusted using the Levels Adjustment Layer in image editing?

The Levels Adjustment Layer is primarily used to adjust the tonal range and color balance of an image. By manipulating the levels, you can effectively alter the brightness, shadows, and highlights within an image. This tool allows you to specify the intensity of various tones, helping to define how dark or light these areas appear.

For instance, you can enhance the contrast by adjusting the sliders associated with shadows, midtones, and highlights. This can make images appear more dynamic and visually appealing by optimizing the depth and detail across the tonal spectrum.

The other choices pertain to different aspects of digital image manipulation. While color grading and contrast might be influenced by the levels, the Levels Adjustment Layer specifically targets the tonal adjustments rather than broad color grading techniques. Layer styles and patterns involve effects applied to an entire layer rather than tonal corrections, and image opacity and resolution are not adjusted through a Levels Adjustment Layer, making them unrelated to the focus of tonal adjustments.
