Marv, I'm not sure I fully understand the problem, but it might be helpful, when making adjustments to the brightness curve, if you switch to the double histogram mode. In that mode, you can observe both the input and output histograms as you make changes. Also note that you can add control points t...

I like it that way:) It reminds me that the transformation is being applied to only a portion of the image. For example, the subject but not the background.

Darius,
As Den pointed out, it's hard to be absolutely sure what's going on with the small sample, but it appears to me that some of the purple might be a "mask artifact". Is it possible to see a bit larger crop of the original?

Charles,
Sometimes you can also use the color correction transformation to gently (and selectively) nudge saturation levels and thereby achieve enhanced saturation contrast in your skies.

From the electronic manual: The equalize transformation computes and applies a brightness curve to the input input so that each brightness level is represented equally in the output image. In other words, it attempts to adjust the brightness levels of the input image so that its histogram becomes fl...

The keystroke insertion appears to not be working if you just look at the workspace text window. However, it does show properly in the image preview window (and the final image).

Instead of periods, you might try using the ellipsis (…) from the Windows character map. [keystroke alt 0133]

PWP 3.5.0.10 does multiple periods :)

Update regarding "<file name>.crv.txt" extentions and the ability to use 'as is' with PWP... ... a thanks to Doug who notified me that on his system that he had to delete the ".txt" and his system OS is newer than mine. In any case... if the warning "illegal crv file" ...

Marv,

Mathematical descriptions and examples for the various blend modes can be found at:

www.pegtop.net/delphi/articles/blendmodes

The nomenclature used there is that used by Adobe. The list includes the filter and subtractive filter modes of PWP (multiply and screen blend in Adobe speak)
