Levels are Image Software's method for stretching the contrast of an image.The RGB levels are a measure of how light or dark a pixel is, additionally the Red, Green, Blue, channels separately have their own levels of how red green or blue a pixel is. The graph that is displayed when adjusting levels shows the number of pixels in the image relative to the level.Adjusting levels can change higher saturation and more contrast giving you a more professional looking pic.. You may also adjust Image Levels to fix your images..
