Re: [Digital BW] Re: Leading Curves In Photoshop Element's 11

Hi Homer

Thank you for your suggestions, Photoshop Elements do present a 
particular challenge when trying to use curves. I've spent quite a bit

my satisfaction and that is the main thing.

Thank you for taking your time to reply to me.
