If you're using PS, click on each the points in the image that you want to set, check 
the read numbers, then click, in the separate channels, on the curve at or about that 
point, they type in the read number in the input box and your desired output number in 
the output box.  Do this for each point you want to set and in each channel.

There may be a quicker way to set the input point on the line, maybe by 
double-clicking on the image spot, but I don't remember for sure.
