Yes, it's been the cheap alternative I've recommended.  I'm not sure how
many people use it, however.  Elements, being Adobe, has a much higher
profile.

I know a lot of people keep the curves on a layer, but I've also seen people
forget to de-activate them while editing or forget to activate them for
printing.  The TF area for loading the curves avoids these problems.
