Hmm, looks like it's back to the drawing board. No matter what I do 
if I make adjustments prior to applying the Roark curves I get 
posterization. And the histogram still reflects a good amount of data 
still (it doesn't look jaggy or like a comb at all). Now without 
adjusting anything, applying the Roark curve then using that for 
adjustments doesn't give me any posterization, but then the images 
don't have the contrast I would like.

Appreciate the help Ed, I guess though no one else has ever had this 
problem. Thanks.
