Brilliant idea that might be handy for hose wishing to pass on before
and after shots to give a link to the pre-curves version and attach the
curve file.
I was stunned when I saw your pr-curves version and after playing with
it a bit I then went back to one of my own and was amazed at the
difference I was able to make.

Whereas a typical JPEG image might have 300,000 bytes, a curves file has maybe 100 bytes. A typical email message on this list is 3,000 bytes so by comparison an additional 100 bytes is almost nothing.
