Sorry - I misread your post. 

I'm starting to make a list of CM 4 features, and this is definitely on it.  Meantime, the action will see how much use this feature would actually get.

Are you asking for a button in Curvemeister that starts Photoshop? :-)

How about CMPhoto Pro.

All the bells and whistles none of the baggage...

Speaking of CM4 features and train wrecks :), it would be so amazing to be able to modify a mask right there in that nice big CM window. Though it could be done in PS, this is a case where it would be much easier and more intuitive (I think) to do it in CM, after comparing masks in the mask carte. It would just be so awesome to be able to adjust and tweak areas ...

"I see a red door and I want to paint it black...."

Cool Idea..I bet that one is tough....It would make it faster...but PS and PSE have the painting tools already in place. 
Can you say "scope creep...."

As a workaround, you could copy the mask, paste it to the smart filter layer mask, and run curvemeister on the mask from there.  This would also give you the benefit of all of Photoshop's painting and other tools.

The cut and paste workaround is pretty much what I do now. But if I'm in PS, I can't see the mask carte to help see the best mask for the job, and if I'm in CM I can't use just part of the mask.  The bottom line is I am rarely satisfied with one unadjusted mask. Now, if I could layer two masks in CM, and then use the  CM L'raser to erase parts of the masks that I don't need, why I wouldn't have anything left to complain about, would I? Because everyone knows an eraser is different from a brush...

Okay, I can see I'm gong to have to wait for version 8.0,. No Prob.

Two masks might not be that hard.  It would be excellent to also be able to paint on the mask.  I've thought about this a lot, and haven't come up with a way to do this without having to do a large amount of programming to recreate PhotoShop's ability to paint on an image.
