Photoshop Elements does not have the ability to directly utilize the curves
I make.

The basic workflow for my curves is to edit the image in grayscale, save the
final grayscale file, convert the image to RGB, apply an image adjustment
curve [what Elements can't do], and print the false-color image through the
Epson driver with the correct settings.

The curves that are posted cannot be used as ICCs and they are not QTR
curves.

So, with Elements, what can be done is to have some one put the curves onto
a small image as adjustment layers.  Elements can utilize layers.  Then
after you've converted your image file to RGB in the workflow outlined
above, you drag the adjustment layer from the small curves file to the file
you want to print.  Then just print that file through the Epson driver as a
color image with the settings the instructions in my Readme and outlined on
the small curves file indicate.  (The Readme file is at
http://home1.gte.net/res09aij/UT2-Readme.htm )

I have not gone to the trouble of doing this for many curves.  I do have a
file that has UT2 EEM curves on it that I'll e-mail you off list.  This is a
good paper to learn on, and the curves are close for many matte papers.
