Re: [Digital BW] Tips on Curves [Was Differences in perception of tonality ...]

2001-09-18 by Martin Wesley

Howard,

I will add your tip to the text file I created from Paul's message.

I also noticed in trying your suggestion that with the curve dialog 
box open, as you hold down the mouse button and move the cursor 
across the image a circle appears on the curve indicating where on 
the curve that particular point would fall. The input and output 
values are also displayed.

Thanks,
Martin
