levels function
Hello,
I would like to import a picture in Illustrator and use a "Levels" function like in Photoshop. Does Illustrator has the same function in it ?

Not really. Illustrator doesn’t have a true Levels adjustment like Photoshop because it works with vectors, not pixels.
Best workaround is using Recolor Artwork or Edit > Edit Colors > Adjust Colors to tweak brightness and contrast. For photos, you’re still better off doing Levels in Photoshop first.
