I have C1 8.2.2 Pro and according to the help on the levels adjustments I should be able to pick the highlight and black point with the help of a picker. I can see it for the separate color channels, but not for the RGB. If I understand it correct it should be there as well. How to retrieve it?
Thanks

  Since CO8 you can have auto adjust Levels either for the RGB or respective R-G-B channels. As a result, the black and white point picker is available either for the RGB channel or the respective R-G-B channels, depending on which mode for auto adjust Levels is selected but not on both.
  
  From the Preferences > Exposure tab > Levels Tool section you can switch channel mode between:
  - RGB channel
  - Red, Green, and Blue channels
  
  Since the picker for black and white point moves with the selection, as mentioned, it is also an indicator for which mode you are running.
  
  Solution: change mode.
  
  Tip: you can go directly to the right preference tab from the Levels tool > 3 dots at the right > Preferences

  First of all, update to 8.3.1 😉
  
  Second, go to Preferences -> Exposure -> Levels Tool, change the Channel Mode, and you get the tools you need.

  @Paul and Christian: I found it and tried it, thanks. I think the auto levels does a good job, so i might not be using the color picker a lot.

  Also notice that the preference setting also effects the auto adjust of the Levels.
