Acknowledgments

Dan Margulis is the godfather of Curvemeister. His ideas form the bedrock on which the features and philosophy of Curvemeister are built. Most of the excellent and useful features have a basis somewhere in Dan's writing. The useless features are my own :-).

I recommend Dan Margulis's book, Professional Photoshop and most recently his new book on Lab Color, to those who wish to progress beyond the material presented in these examples.

I would also like to thank the many people who contributed to the testing and evaluation of this product, and whose ideas helped to greatly expand the scope of this products.

For many detailed suggestions about general user interface improvements, as well as a plethora of bug reports I thank Stephen Marsh, whose work on the Curvemeister 1.0 beta went far beyond his testing role, and I credit him with expanding many of the concepts of Curvemeister, as well as helping to add and improve many important details..

Brian Bulkowski is responsible for the scope and flexibility of the pinned sample concept, which now forms the basis of pinning, and for later additions to the Pin Palette and further refinements to pinned sample behavior found in version 2.0. Ann Knepper found a number of bugs and helped organize and clarify the material in the manual.

Many thanks to the 2.0 beta testers (alphabetically by first name) Ann Knepper, Brian Bulkowski, Darren Bernaerdt, David Barr, Gene Palmiter, Greg Groess, Jim Hamilton, Maris V. Lidaka Sr., Terry Britton, Winfield Terry, and our new and outstanding beta tester, Mike Arst.

Thanks to Selby Shanly for spotting a problem with 16 bit corner fill, and Trond Hagesæter for his many suggestions, as well as help with an early installer problem.

To the others whose worthy contributions made this product possible, and most of all to the many customers who purchased Curvemeister and made it part of their image correction repertoire, please accept my thanks.
