Photoshop curve file format

2003-09-09 by Daniel Staver

I spent some time last night looking at the Photoshop SDK and writing a
little perl script to generate photoshop curve files based on a text
file. The text file contains the measured input values and the
un-linearized RGB values from the curve I want to linearize.

I'm considering to write out Map Settings (.AMP) files instead, since
they can also be loaded in the curve dialog in Photoshop and can contain
256 points instead of the 16 point limitation of the .ACV curves. The
disadvantage is that they're not easily modifiable by the user, and I
would have to figure out how to plot the curve myself.

I'm not sure if this is useful to anyone, just thought I'd let you know.
I'd be happy to share my script if there's any interest...
