Global adjustments with curves and levels must therefore be made on the original (I save a copy of the raw scan, in fact several copies at various stages, and I save out my levels and curves so I can remember what I did. Of course I also have to keep buying more and/or bigger hard drives!) Layers for 16/48-bit images would be a nice feature in PS 8, but then I'm _really_ going to need a fast G5 :) Gilbert On Sunday, August 17, 2003, at 10:46 AM, Eric Welch wrote: > You should always use adjustment laysers on original photos, rather > than actually adjust the actual image.
