A new beta is available that fixes the 16 bit layer problem discovered by John Shore. This beta is for curvemeister owners. If you are an owner, you may...
If I edit an RGB original file using CurveMeister, and made the edits in Lab or wgCMYK space, does CM do a 'behind the scenes' conversion to Lab or wgCMYK and...
From: "Louis Dina" <lbdina@...> ... Yes, that's exactly what happens. Curvemeister converts your image to the color space you have selected, a small...
The recent Margulis book on Lab color has a detailed discussion (with experimental results) on repeated back-and-forth conversions (e.g., RGB<->Lab); bottom...
Seems to solve the problem, but I haven't delved deeply. Thanks Mike. js _____ From: curvemeister@yahoogroups.com [mailto:curvemeister@yahoogroups.com] On ...
... This is true. Some people prefer to avoid even this slight change to their data, even if there is no visible change to their image, so for them I suggest...
Mike and John, Thanks for the answers. I figured a round trip conversion might be happening behind the scenes. No big deal to me. Now, if you could only do...
Personally, I would argue against extending CM to cover more and more of what you do in Photoshop. When you sharpen in RGB and blend with luminosity mode, in...
John, I can see your point and don't necessarily disagree. I've read Dan's Pro PS and LAB books multiple times. Lots of good stuff. The typical reasons for...

When you sharpen in RGB and blend with luminosity mode, in most cases the result is very close to converting to Lab, sharpening L, and converting back to RGB...
From: "hokuahi" <luminous@...> ... Yes. Set up your soft proof before starting Curvemeister, and the displayed image will use your soft proof settings. ...
Louis's suggestion about sharpening and other operations while in CM is well taken, and I'm certainly considering something like this for a future version of...
Hi Mike. I think you understood my ideas correctly. I don't see a need to recreate tools that are available and work great in PS. I'm just looking for ways...
Here's a suggestion (probably already considered) that I think would make CM even more attractive as a tool for quickly evaluating approaches in different...
If you are gathering opinions... I would not use sharpening inside of CM. Part of the reason is that I don't feel a need to do everything in one step. A...
... I think it would be useful for "channel shopping" for masks and channels to use as sources for channel mixing, and another way to assess blown out channels...
... Good point, Clyde, and well said. Unfortunately, being a software person, I can only add to a program. In a way, that all I can provide is code bloat! ...
The idea of multiple channels is interesting, but is it worth the effort to code it? On my PC, the radio buttons are essentially instantaneous for switching...
Well, thresholds wouldn't be of much use for either LAB or CMYK. The L channel in LAB is lighter than the composite grayscale of RGB, and the AB channels...
It is of course true that one can currently view individual channels quickly with a mouse click, just like one can view individual curves with a mouse click...
We aren't likely to use masks from the L and B channels. I did overlook the possibility of using the AB channels, but usually the grayscale values are so...
From: "Mike" <fefifo2001@...> ... I agree completely. This is not supported in the demo, but thresholding grayscale images is supported in the current...
Downloaded the beta. Works great! I do own curvemeister...remember the HSB readouts and Macbeth, IT8 calibration we discussed some months ago? I also suggested...
From: "Mike" <fefifo2001@...> ... Hi Mike, Yes, I do indeed remember your suggestion re reading IT8 numbers, and adding numbers to the stand alone hue...
