The first geographical observations about the Kamyshlov Log in the early 18th century described it as a flowing river, consisting in a chain of long lakes interconnected by channels, which seasonally dried up, but flowed again during periods of high water. However, by the 19th century most of the surrounding steppe was converted into agricultural fields and the flow between the lakes gradually stopped. The runoff along an almost imperceptible channel last took place in 1865 when the water reached the village of Poludino.

Curve (tonality)
In image editing, a curve is a remapping of image tonality, specified as a function from input level to output level, used as a way to emphasize colours or other elements in a picture.

Curves can usually be applied to all channels together in an image, or to each channel individually.

Applying a curve to all channels typically changes the brightness in part of the spectrum. Light parts of a picture can be easily made lighter and dark parts darker to increase contrast.

Applying a curve to individual channels can be used to stress a colour. This is particularly efficient in the Lab colour space due to the separation of luminance and chromaticity, but it can also be used in RGB, CMYK or whatever other colour models the software supports.

Color model
In color science, a color model is an abstract mathematical model describing the way colors can be represented as tuples of numbers, typically as three or four values or color components. It differs from a color space in that a color model is not absolute, that is, there is no way to map a color within a color model to a point in a color space.

This article describes ways in which human color vision can be modeled, and discusses some of the models in common use.
