Topic: Curvemeister 3.0.18 is available

This is what is happening

I click on existing pin
go to new pin file
chose a file and click open
the tab with 0 sits in my pin file ribbon.

If I repeat this the file is still visible but it has nothing in it, all information gone.

However
if  I click on existing pin
and go to open pin file
choose a file and click open
it sits in the pin ribbon with the pins visible.
If I click on save all pins before exiting CM nothing happens. The new pins are gone when I reopen. Occasionally I get a warning that they have not been saved.
But when I go back to the same pin file the information is still there

Hope this helps. BTW I'm still having fun with it but have needed to go back to the class notes. Its easy to fall into the habit of just using the same techniques all the time.

Julie and Greg,

I've found a serious problem with the way that pin files are handled in 3.0.19, and I believe I have a solution to the problem.  This is probably the same bug that causes a crash on certain other systems.  I'll be spending some time later today (Saturday) rolling a new release, and hopefully this will solve the problem that Julue is reporting.

I should have the latest version, 3.2.0 out soon.  I will check the cmyk hue clocks before releasing, and make sure they are working.

[curvemeister]

Well, the end of Sunday is almost here, and 3.2.0 is still not off  the production line.  Soon!!!

Hi,
I am on Vista and CS4
Element 8

The link does not work to the upgrade.

I would prefer to stay on 32 bits

Jean,
this link should work...let me know if it does not work for you.

CM download location.

Greg

[Jean Pierre]

It does.

After install, Curvemeister_3-3.2.0.exe shows in the about tab 3.01.0

It ok?

[Greg Groess]

It is...That is a bug that Mike will address very soon.

Hi Mike & Greg,

I have a slightly different problem.  I've been away for a few months and fired up CS5 with 3.0.18 (I think it was) and had an expired notice for the beta.  So I went to Greg's link posted above and got the 3.2.0 version update and ran the installer.  CM comes up fine in CS5 32-bit but still gives me the expired message in CS5 64-bit.  The installer does not include CS5 as a recognized installed version of Photoshop so I directed it to the Plug-Ins folder for CS5 64-bit but I still get the expired message for 64-bit only.

SO....need a quick fix for CS5 64-bit and also suggest you add CS5 to the installer window for new users.  Greg mentioned something about Adobe security blocking folder access?

Win7 Home Premium 64-bit OS.

[Greg Groess]

The expired beta issue should be resolved with the latest build posted on the download site; others have reported it as well.

Make sure you have the latest VC run time installed.  You will have to manually copy the 8BF file to the plug ins folder in CS5.

If that is not the issue please post back so Mike and I can help...

Thanks, Greg.  I've messed things up very well, now, having uninstalled CM from CS5 completely (no menu listing).  The VC runtime distribution files should be OK since I previously installed the 64-bit beta and had it working with no issues.

So, couple of questions:  first, there are several "Plug-In" folders scattered all over in Win7 for Adobe.  Can you give me the path for the proper folders for both CS5 32-bit and CS5 64-bit?

Also, what is the correct file date on the current version for 64-bit?  Mine is 2-20-2010 I think (w/o looking).

And, last, is there a link to the update file for the current 64-bit version?  All I see is the new-purchase downloads.

[Greg Groess]

mdavis,
if you go through the beta thread.  Mike has the link posted there.  The latest version Mike has posted is 3.2.3 on July 2nd. 

I do not have CS5 yet so I am unsure  of the paths...but they should be something like
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4\Plug-ins\Filters  for the 32 bit
and
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4 (64 Bit)\Plug-ins\Filters for the 64...
Those are the paths on My win & 64 bit install...

Greg

Thanks, Greg, I'll try that.  My paths are OK and the versions of curvemeister.8bf are all there and dated 2/22/2010.  I'll try the beta thread and see if that's another version that will work in CS5 64-bit.  I had the previous beta installed and working fine, but lost it when I installed the update to (apparently) the non-64 bit version.  The .8bf file is there but the menu and CS5 64-bit doesn't see it.
