I purchased CM last night - downloaded and installed it -- everything seemed to be fine. It asked during installation if I wanted it to use with PSE 5, which I chose. It was late, so I thought I would get started with it in the morning. Now I cannot figure out how to initiate the program. In PSE 5 I cannot find it anywhere -- other add-ons I have (ie Noiseware) appear at the bottom of the filter menu or in the Artwork & Effects menu) -- and in looking at my c:programs/adobe/pse 5 I don't see it in the plugins anywhere - CM is listed separately in the programs list. I do have CM in my "programs" listing - but the only options are check for updates, help, CM clock and uninstall - no where to initiate the program. I'm sure I have missed something important here --- as I am a rank amateur with all of this. Any help will be appreciated.

CM should show up as a filter under the filters menu if it does not you might want to un-install and re-install and make sure the directory is
\program filesadobephotoshop elements 5.0plug-insfilters, when you do the install. That should make it visible to the program.

Hi momatx,
Greg has covered the bases here - check the Plug-ins/Filters folder he mentions to see if the curvemeister3.8bf file is located there.
There is also a program called
AcrChecker that will list all of your plugin information. I would be interested in what caused this problem because I am re-working the installer to be more automated.

Thanks for the replies -- I uninstalled and reinstalled and it now shows up right where I thought it should - in the filter menu with Noiseware. Thanks. Now I just need to learn how to use it!!!

Super - congratulations on fixing the problem.
There's a lot of material in the manual, and also a class at Eclectic University starting in a few weeks.
