Easy Curving - PhotoCamel

AncientSnapper · 06-09-2008

Hi, I've written a little tutorial on using the Curve tool, if you would find it useful
Be in Control - Curving, basic introduction
also introduces you to the power of Lab mode - like juggling one ball at a time instead of 2+
Enjoy...

Light Currents · 06-11-2008

Thanks for the hard work. Is it available in a single PDF or as a single page that can be easily printed?

AncientSnapper · 06-12-2008

Good point - I never thought about that (printing it) - as I was really trying out a different way of stepping through a tutorial. Actually it didn't think people would want to read it twice.
Let me see what I can do...

A nice little tutorial. And perfect for me, a curves idiot. lol

Well, of course they do! When people take the time to prepare useful tutorials and present it to the community free, there are those of us who appreciate the effort. Readers see the value in it and want to save it for future reference!

From someone who has had trouble correctly using curves, thank you!

Austen · 06-12-2008

Wow Chris !!

Great tutorial, thanks heaps for this !!

Can't wait to try this out !!!

Austen.

*Blush*

As I sometimes do with some of the great tutorials here I have turned this into a PDF file FOR MY OWN USE.

WITH THE PERMISSION of the OP I'd be happy to post it somewhere (it's a touch under 10 Mb...)

RapidShare or similar ?? What is the "attachment" limit of the 'Camel ??

Austen.

Rense · 06-12-2008

we have special section, called downloads, where only registered users can download.

If the OP agrees, send the file to Paul Shields

Many thanks to Chris, he has given me permission to upload the file here.......

I've sent Paul a PM requesting instructions on how to do this !!!

Austen · 06-13-2008

As I'm still waiting to hear how to upload the tutorial file here, and the weekend is now starting, I thought I'd upload the file to RapidShare for those members interested.

If any of the 'Camel members want it, pop me a PM or e-mail and I'll send you the RapidShare link.

Hope this helps,

Austen.

(I'll be on-line at least until this post is 15 hours old

)

Thanks to Austen, I've added the pdf to the web and linked to it on the last page - a little large (14MB), but he has done an excellent job
Thank you

It is a link in the last paragraph on the last page - where it says pdf. Probably not well highlighted, so look carefully
Good luck!
