Two things.

You may be better asking in the IM Forums
   http://www.imagemagick.org/discourse-server/viewtopic.php?f=1

and secondly an example would be good.

Also have you first tried to use the command line -level operator
so you can understand what you are doing.

IM examples,  Color Modifications,  Direct Level Adjustments
   http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/color/#level
Also look at the newer varients such as using +level (or adding a '!'
flag for Perl magick arguments)  and  -level-colors.

NOTE: using values like 0.3 and 1.0 probably produce black as it is
expecting values in the range from   0 to Quantumrange.  EG   65535
as such your values are all near zero and thus 'near black'.
