yes I do but a wider view.

just a note on the power of a custom curve, these images are out of camera with minimal post processing

i am using a Nikon D70 with Optima custom curve, but just loading the curve does not automatically give you punchy colours, you need to know what this curve does to the tones and expose for it. Normally I under expose to get richer colours.

Hope it helps

Thanks everyone for the comments

erictan8888 · 28th October 2005

thanks.... any idea where to get the Optima custome curve??
