Digital Light & Color

Is there still a way to apply inverse monitor curves to the image via Colour Curves rather than print? I remember doing that in PWP7, but I can't figure it out anymore.

The idea is that if on the monitor, calibrated well or not, I adjust the image that looks the way I want it to, then I send it for printing and the print is pretty far off from the intention, I would like to use monitor curves to match what I see on the monitor to the print that I don't like, then use the inverse of them in Colour Curves to produce the file that, when printed identically would look closer to what the monitor tells me. That was in the Color Curves, I recon...

Inverse monitor curves are stored in <My Documents>\Picture Window Pro\Printer Curves folder with the extension ".cc". You should be able to load these files into the Color Curves transformation via the Settings menu (Load Color Curves...).

Thanks, it works as you described.

A related question: if I make a new set of monitor curves (File/MonitorPrinterCurves), don't save them, but close the dialogue box, the Disable/Enable Monitor Curves button in the Main toolbar, toggles this latest, unsaved set of Monitor Curves off and on in the preview of the images. But if I would like to correct them a bit, when I go back to the File/MonitorPrinterCurves, those latest curves are rest and thus lost. I know that the easiest way to counteract this is to actually save them first, but is there a way of bringing back or editing the latest monitor curves if they are not saved?

I don't think so.
