Using levels can be effective at times, but it's usefulness is also
much more limited than pulling curves. Auto Levels can work well (it
is very good for removing haze from a photo), but it can also work
badly. Auto Color can work remarkably well a good percentage of the
time, however. For the best description of how to do color
correction, check out Michael Kieran's book, "Photoshop Color
Correction", Peachpit Press. His chapter on how to use curves is
excellent, and there are very good techniques for a wide variety of
color correction situations.
