Ok, this is T's new section for exploring one feature or technique, so I thought maybe we could post examples of unusual uses for Levels adjustments.
I frequently use the midtone slider in Levels to fine-tune my layer masks (called "choking"). Just click on the layer mask and activate levels (Ctrl-L or Cmd-L) or Image>Adjustments>Levels. This works equally well in Elements or Photoshop.
Here is an example of a feather I masked (badly) and how it can be fixed with Levels (and taken to the extreme, ruined or used for a special effect).
In case you can't tell, the middle one is what I'm aiming at
On the left is a loose-fitting layer mask, on the right we've started to lose fine detail.
