Topic: Curvemeister_3-3.0.8 and cs3 with Vista with hp64 bits

[Jean Pierre]

Hi,

I have a problem going on your site at the download page. It appens when I click on a link to post an email. My screen start to flash randomly so I cant see nothing.

I went there because I cant find the folder of the swatches and pins in Vista. The file structure is so complicated . Why the hell did they do that? Anyway, I started curvemeidster in photoshop cs3 started curvemeister filter but the pins could not be found.


Thanks for your attention.

I found the folders in
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Curvemeister.com\Curvemeister_3

I still dont know for the flashing stuff...

[curvemeister]

Bonjour Jean Pierre,

I'm glad you were able to find the files yourself!

I haven't seen the flashing yet.  Which browser are you using?

Yes, the file handling in Vista has caused problems for a number of people.  I will email you a link to the beta download page.  If you still would like to install the newest version, 3.0.13, has some fixes involving the pin files in Vista.

Hi Jean-Pierre,

I emailed you a link to the download area on Feb 17th.  I'll send another copy of the email using a different account.  If you don't receive it within a few minutes, please email me at mike@curvemeister.com and I'll reply directly.

I am a bit afraid.  My version work and I cand get the pins by hand if needed.

I have CS3 suite   photoshop version 10.0.1 and I think it is 32 bits could it be?

Jean

[curvemeister]

Yes, your version is 32 bits.   There is absolutely no requirement to upgrade your copy of Curvemeister, but there are some good features you might like in version 10.0.13.

I hope you will share some more of your paintings with us, and perhaps how you use your paint pins with them.

but there are some good features you might like in version 10.0.13.

Do you mean this one CM_64_3.0.13b.zip?

[curvemeister]

I made a mistake - the latest 32 bit version is 3.0.12.  3.0.13 is for 64 bit only.

[Jean Pierre]

i INSTALLED IT.
i MADE THE 2 TEST: oK

wHERE ARE THE EXE FILES?
wHER ARE THE PIN FILES?
oOPS KEEBOARD

It does not find the pins file either.

Is there a special support page for this on this forum?

Regards.

Your original pin files are still in their original location. 

Version 3.0.8 looks for the pin files to a different location to accommodate Vista.  Some customers, including Greg Groess, reported problems with not being able to read pin files with version 3.0.8, and these were addressed with version 3.0.12.

The best solution is to first try installing version 3.0.12.  It has a fix for a pin file problem in version 3.0.8.  If your pin files are still not visible, I will follow up with a procedure for locating them and copying them to the new location.

It does not install.

Hi Jean,

(I am also emailing you a copy of this message, since you are not receiving automatic notifications from the forum)

CM_64_3.0.13b.zip is the new 64 bit beta.  It will not install on a 32 bit system.

The latest version for Curvemeister 3 is 3.0.12

Are you able to access your pin files?  If not, I apologize and would like to fix this problem as soon as possible.  Your original pin files are still on your system, and the fastest way to get them back would be to re-install version 3.0.8.

The newer version of Curvmeister that you installed has a different folder for the pins, so it may be necessary to copy your original pins to the new folder.

[Jean Pierre]

This is what I did. Everything is OK.

:O)

The pin file I created and in wich one could add more colors  is VERY usefull.

It helps on ajusting cast and colors from the root in heavy cases because I know I was tripping on chrome yellow years ago and if the paintings is aging, I can take a picture even now and have a goog correction of it.  I can even repaint it afresh.

PS: Indeed Vista is a complicated and useles chrome and security thing. A Bush creature probably. It is a 'better' XP.
