Pardon this beginner's question: do you apply curves after doing other image adjustments (e.g. histogram, re-sizing, USM, etc.), or is that the only change you do onto the image once you have the right curve for your printer/ink/paper combination? Thank you.

For the workflows I use with Photoshop curves, don't apply them until the image is in its final form and saved as a grayscale file. Then with the variable tone inksets the workflow is to convert to RGB, apply the curve, and print. With the monotone inksets (e.g., FS), the image can be left as a grayscale, but don't save it over your final image file. Paul www.PaulRoark.com
