After hearing from Timo about the technque described in the <a href="http://www.curvemeister.com/forum/index.php?topic=45.0" class="bbcode_url">previous article on sharpening</a>, I wanted a way to combine it with the advantages of the <a href="http://www.curvemeister.com/forum/index.php?topic=43.0"...

This is an extremely interesting set of images.  I've never seen anything like it.

I'll take a look at using the C key again for the compare funciton.  This would allow comparing without changing any currently selected point, whether on a curve or a sample point in an image.

Edward Weston was one of the greats of American photography.  He was a friend of Ansel Adams, and had a tremendous impact on the photographic art world, at a time when photography was just being accepted as an art form that people could make a living at.  <br /><br />Unlike Adams, Weston did very fe...

Here is my take on one of your delightful sand sculpture images.  I used the "lizard tail" move to add much more texture to the coffin lid (great theme for a sand sculpture, BTW!), and added contrast to some of the detailed work in the middle of the image.  <br /><br />Since you mentioned that this ...

I think I understand what Matt is saying. 

If you are using the arrow keys to move points around, for example, and you press compare, the focus moves to the compare button.  To move the points around again, you need to click on the point in the curve window.  Is this right?

I ran across this information, posted by the illustrious <a href="http://www.telegraphics.com.au/" class="bbcode_url">Toby Thain</a>, on one of the Photoshop news groups.  If any of you try it out, let us know what you find out.<br /><br />Epson provides a utility for basically profiling certain pri...
