Ah but the results of your "squeezing" gives you pixels with luminance
range from 0-255 whereas the original image only had pixels that
ranged from 21-181. Attached is a before and after Levels adjustment
histogram of a photo. As you can see the after graph is wider than
the before graph, expanded rather than squeezed :)

I'm not really talking about the PSP Levels adjustment but rather the
Histogram Adjustment which mirrors the PS Levels dialog most closely.

Not that I recall, I probably adjusted the Gamma slider though.
