RE: to APIS or not to APIS
Thanks Mary, I am not yet satisfied with my gums, there is a lot to improve. But I'll keep practising ... ;) ChartThrob is a script by Kevin Bjorke and can be downloaded here: http://www.botzilla.com/blog/archives/000544.html And good instructions for how to use it, by Michael Koch-Schulte: http://www.inkjetnegative.com/images/RNP/quick_guide_to_making_digital_ne.htm I personally have found it valuable (and free) tool when teaching students to curve their negatives for different processes quickly. - Jalo ________________________________________ From: Mary Pat Mcnally [mcnally@psfc.mit.edu] Sent: Thursday, May 07, 2009 8:58 PM To: Vedos Subject: Re: to APIS or not to APIS I was on your site http://vedos.samk.fl. I was looking a your gums. They are really good. iI was curious about your heartthrob script for making curves in photoshop. Does that work in Photoshop CS4 and does it work on a MAC?
