Nattress Productions recently released its Levels and Curves Filter pack, a set of color correction filters based on FxFactory (from Noise Industries).
When corrections are made, the calculations are performed on a curve that simulates the logarithmic space (Film-Log), thus obtaining a more precise control.
Another of its qualities is the ability to work in a more intuitive way. This is thanks to the representation of the curve that appears on the work monitor (this curve can be easily removed from the screen if it is not useful).
It has different tools to work with, such as Curves Luma, which allows corrections to affect only brightness, Levels, for black and white corrections, or Curves RGB, for individual control of the three channels.
In addition, it includes a library of presets to be able to apply corrections already made or to save new customized ones.
The pack is available for Final Cut Pro (6, 7 and 10), Motion (3, 4 and 5) and After Effects from version CS3 (8, 9, 10 and 10.5). As it is based on FxFactory, it is necessary to have it installed. When you download it (it is free) it includes a trial version of the Levels and Curves Filter Pack.
On this page you can watch a tutorial or purchase the pack for $29.00.

And going back to Final Cut Pro X, the other day I saw that from its page you can download a PDF manual (in English). Here is the link.
