RE: [APML] PS 'Curves' vs PW Pro 'Curves'... [was Astrophotography2004 - Price Shock Horror]

The button that looks like a histogram + its vertical mirror image gives you
a dynamic before and after view of your adjustments.  That window is also
stretchable, so that you can make the histogram full screen width.

(Std disclaimer... I'm just a happy customer)

 Hey Rich...

     I'm with you, man! I have PS v7.0 and I still prefer PW Pro for
'Curves' adjustments. The dialog box is larger, easier to achieve finite
adjustments... plus it shows the 'Histogram' *behind* the curve line.

     Here's a 1024x768 screen shot, reduced to 800x600, that shows the
'Gray' (luminance) dialog... go to:

     PW Pro is a powerful, affordable image editor... one that's very
astro-friendly... it even has it's own Ephemeris program built in!

 Best...   :o)
