Greg.. I think I am just not understanding this plugin, AS I told you last conference call my double headed arrow would not stay when I put it on the curve line but just kept jumping around. I finally decided to uninstall the plugin and reinstall it, however it would not uninstall either from the control panel or the start menue, so I decided to try just reinstalling over the the one, this seemed to work.

Another problem I am having is when trying to follow the example on color correcting the little boy I cannot get my curves window to look like yours as I cannot get the 255 numbers in the bottom left of the window no matter how I switch the window.

Gary,

Look at the attached files below.

Shot1 is the configure "wrench" Icon.  Use it to open the config dialog box and make the settigns changes as shown in the next 3 captures.
Save before you close and see if the look and feel of the CM interface changes for the better.

Greg

Greg I went in via the wrench and set everything exactly as you had and this is what I get.

it's a width issue...Open  the curve windows a bit more and the numbers should  fill in...

It would seem that is not the problem, I can make the curves window as large as I want but I still get 0 to 100 on the left side and 0 to 100 along the bottom. the black RGB curve at the top is all Roman Numerals 0, I, II, IV to X top to bottom and X to 0 along the bottom.

OK I finally found the my problem. " Settings/curves 2/ then activated the 0 to 255 radio button not the default " If this is not correct please let me know as is different from the screen shot you sent me. Anyway I found this by going back and reading course material.

either way it works I hope...it is a screen reference not a image adjustment...
