Re: Import curves question

2007-05-05 by bwinkjet

Hi, 
Sorry for the post below.  I misread your question.  As far as I know 
you need to import a curve from PS (acv).  Not sure if PFP will 
import Levels or Color Adjustment layers.  I suspect it will not.  
You can translate the levels adjustment to curves with a little 
practice and obtain better results many times.  Again sorry I didn't 
read your post correctly the first time.
