Curvemeister's Built-In Pins
The built-in pins provided with curvemeister were prepared either from photographs, or by using a spectrophotometer to scan a variety of objects such as leaves, skin, wood, blue sky, green grass, and other colors that may be useful or interesting. There are also several skin tones based on the prepress standards for skin tones. As installed, only certain pins may be changed or deleted. All pins may be duplicated, and the copy changed.
These pins are a starting point, and you are encouraged to create your own pins. Perhaps you will consider joining the Curvemeister Group and share some of your pins over the Internet.

Note:s
- You are encouraged to make your own pins, if you encounter a color that turned out well, and that you think you might encounter again. For example, if you have a portrait of a relative that turned out particularly well, grab a skin tone pin and save it under the People tab.
- New pins from Curvemeister will always be saved in the Goodies folder. When you install a new version of Curvemeister, your new pins will be preserved.
