I usually use curves. I dragged a point quite near the left edge 
downward then placed another point to the right of that to pull the rest 
back to a nearly straight line. It would have been simpler to just drag 
the left corner rightward, the curve just lets you play around with 
different options. Levels could do the same thing.
