I am also a curves man. There is nothing like it, and the only time I correct in levels is to see the histogram. But now that we have it as a pallette... I don't need it anymore. I have the impression that Dan Margulis doesn't like the histo, but I still do. The only reason that I like the gradient map is simply the speed. If I need to use just 2 spots and need good control, then the duotone dialog is the way to go, much less messy. I used to be a sign maker, and I had to come up with a way to seperate continious tone images into just 3 colors that would be cut with vinyl. It was effective to use just the gradient map and then use select color range and make path. I got pretty good with it, and made some unique effects. I don't need nearly the level of control, just good feedback in the preview. Keep it up, you rock. Love you column, and I just want to make it clear… I am also a curves man.
