Wiil Curves plug-in work in PSE 5

[sgeed4]

I currently use PSE 3 with a free curves plug-in from Bob Johnson ( and which is wonderful ). According to Barbara Brundage's volume on PSE 5 the curves function is very limited. So, I'm thinking before buying 5 I'd like to ask if anyone has used the new curves offering and is it useful, frustrating or whatever. I'm trying to avoid going back and forth between the two editions. Brundage indicates that plugins for curves have been programmed out for 5.

Thanks

I have the trial, and have put the "Smartcurves" plug-in in, and it works fine. Also, Graffi has figured out how to activate the built-in Curves panel. It is not an adjustment layer (neither is the plug-in), but it works well, too.

have two questions. I thought 5 had curves in it. if so where is it? also I have downloaded grant's tools and can't find a curve action there either. Is it labeled something else other than curves?
thank you

Sue,
when you downloaded Grant's tools did you download the ones for PSE 5?
If you did and you have them in the right location, you should be able to see the curves icon. To find the curves in 5 go to - Enhance - Adjust Colour - Adjust Colour Curves.
