In short, the curves command is used to amend the range of tones in an image. When the dialogue box opens the tones are displayed as a straight line. Clicking on the line and dragging the cursor changes the line into a curve and tranforms the tones when the OK button is pressed.
As well as modifying the RGB image in one go, each separate color (i.e. red, green and blue for an RGB image) can be adjusted on its own by selecting it from the channel pull down menu at the top of the dialogue box. The best way to discover how tones are modified using the curves command is to experiment with it.
