Ok, so I understand the concept of varying the opacity of the 
duplicate layers but surely if you are applying more than one curves 
LAYER they compound across each of the duplicates, curve and 
background layers - OR do you just apply the curves to the duplicate 
rather than actually using a layer?.
I might be mixed up on my blending modes (I'll have a play tonight) 
but I can't get my head around applying a warm curve then compounding 
that with another different curve further up - wouldn't you end up 
with all kind of hue and saturation nasties?

I suppose in theory you could also use more complicated layer masks 
to create a split toning effect with the VM set for example?  I'd be 
interested to get this sussed.

Kind regards

Steve
