RE: [Digital BW] Re: PS VM curves is Picture Window

2003-10-22 by Paul Roark

With the cheaper version of PW, I don't seem to be able to open the
Photoshop curves directly.  The "load" box doesn't show any of the PS curves
even if I change the extension/name.  Perhaps this is an extra feature on
the Pro version?

What I'd done is simply not the coordinates in PS and then transfer them to
the PW curve (that had the correct number of points added first) using
Notepad and opening the PW curve in text form.

On the cut/paste issue, I past the 21-step file into larger 8x10 files for
testing curves.  It seems odd that PW would omit something that seems like
such a basic operation.

I am using it for while now, directly your photoshop curves within pw
pro. It can load direclty Phosohop curves.

As far as I know it doesn't. It is nice feature to open file in new
window only, also after you apply any trasnformation tool (curves, for
example) you will get result in new window.

Why you need it in the same window Paul?
