Recently I tried making sense of the sequencer's color functions and
found them quite confusing. Even after tweaking them for 5min I don't
really understand what they do exactly.

Id much prefer convert these values into either, gimp/photoshop color
'Levels' or 'Curves'.
Curves are already used in other parts of blender so I'ts probably not
that hard to make this change,

Peter, if your reading, Could these settings be converted to curves?
(even a close approximation would be ok I think)
