Curvemeister Forum

Hi Mike!<br /><br />Awesome looking new interface, and some very neat and useful features like masking that I'll get into very quickly.  I did order the CM3 using the CM2 code, but I'm still in "demo" mode.  I haven't gotten a new serial number yet (just ordered it), nor did I see a "...

I bit the bullet (takes some faith to send money for something sight-unseen) and bought a Feisol CT-3401 after a friend bought one and liked it.  I use a small Manfrotto ballhead on it to hold my 20D and some big lenses (Canon 100-400L f/4).  It is now over a year old and seems to be as well made as...

As most everyone who surfs photography and digital image editing forums knows, there is a new Adobe Camera Raw version 4.1 out.  You can find it at the Adobe website, or use the "check updates" in your Elements 5 or CS3.  I just wanted to make a comment or two about it.<br /><br />First, ACR4 and it...

Any reports of problems using Curvemeister with the new Windows Vista OS?

In the interests of discussion, I note that there have been some comments on Dan Margulis' forum regarding the superiority of doing color, contrast and exposure editing in Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) and/or Adobe Lightroom (LR), thus reducing the role of Photoshop/Elements in digital editing.  Most ...

I received my copy of Ctein's new book "Digital Restoration From Start to Finish" today and quickly thumbed through the table of contents.  Superficially, it looks very similar to Katrin Eismann's book on "Restoration and Retouching", and does rely on digital image editors as the tool for ...

In CS3, there are now 4 screen modes using the "F" key:<br />Standard<br />Maximized<br />Full Screen with Menu Bar<br />Full screen<br /><br />In Standard mode, you have a regular Window with the top window border (forget what it's officially called .. the bar you use to drag the window around...
