Curves Layers for Photoshop Elements

2006-01-20 by Paul Roark

I've been recommending Photoshop Elements as the logical starting place for
B&W printers.  In addition to being cheap (often $50 on Ebay), it is simpler
and easier to learn.

 

One of the few things Elements lacks is Image Adjustment Curves.  However,
Elements supports Adjustment Layers, and that supports Curves Adjustment
Layers.  This allows curves that have been put onto small files as Curves
Adjustment Layers to be easily be used in Elements.

 

At http://home1.gte.net/res09aij/Curves_Layers.htm  I have put a couple of
my favorite curves shapes on small files as layers.  Anyone can download
these files and simply drag the curves to the working file.

 

At http://home1.gte.net/res09aij/PS_Elements.htm I have a Readme file that
outlines several ways to overcome the few weaknesses in Elements and make it
a practical image editor.

 

Hope this is useful.

 

Paul
