Digital BW, The Print

Paul:

I just check with Jonathan Sachs the Picture Window developer and he 
indicated that both PW and PWP can open and read PhotoShop color 
curve and map files (.acv and .amp).

Are you using the Upper Opt button in the Color|Curves 
transformation?  The lower right Opt buttons on both the Color|Curves 
and Gray|Brightness transformationsonly read .crv files.
