actually too many people are finding it because they think brightness/contrast
is an other filter, so they don't bother to look at it to do what they want,
as they are looking for the "curve" keyword. Hence my propostion.

We allready have the filter gallery to help people discover new effects, and
of course the manual.
The menu needs a hierarchy, or it will soon explode. As for filter that have
move between 1.5 and 1.6, I am a little bit surprised, which one did move ?
