Hey folks, well finally I found the link to download CURVES to use within PhotoShop Elements 3 ........ thought I'd test it out and see if it works.
Actually the tutorial on how to do it was very easy to follow.

Both Photos were taken using a Canon 20D, Canon 100mm Macro Lens, One Kenko Ext Tube 36mm and an External Flash with Difuser attached...... enjoy....... Skippy (Australia)

First image is just my peg bucket....yes bordom strikes again :rofl
This image is not cropped in any way.

The Second Image is My American Penny..... tried to find one every day that I was in USA :rolleyes wasn't that hard to do :D

The only cropping on this image was to make it straight so its missing just a fraction off each side.......and look who's between the Pillars :wink

    Well, I had to blow it up in Photoshop, but I was indeed, surprised, to find him sitting on our Penny:

    Hey Skippy-

    I use that hack for PSE3 also. I just started about a month ago but so far it seems more accurate and gives better results than levels alone.

    Also today on the news they were talking about how with the cost of everything, that the US mints are spending more than the penny is worth to make it. Although they will not discontinue it due to the fact the everybody uses them.

    Hi there you guys :D Australia got rid of its One and Two Cent Coins years ago.......the smallest coin we have now is a Five Cent piece, and they do what they call rounding down on prices in the stores so the price has to either end in 5 or 10 .......it's a lot easier to work with I tell ya.

    Your right about the Levels, it work very very well, I'm really happy, I have always had to use two programs in the past to have access to Curves.

    Take care.....thanks for looking........ Skippy (Australia)
