luminance
Is there a luminance option with curves? The colours get too saturated for me using curves as it is. Cheers, jp

help me out here guys. "Does CO7 have a luminance option?" If I could find the index on the CO7 pdf manual I would probably find the answer there. Is there an index? For me it is not an upgrade learning situation but trying to adjust from having spent many years with A3. And I'm very busy with not a lot of time to teach myself CO7. I do a lot of product work and use Luminance in both A3 and PS. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers, jp 0 -
I don't believe there is. I could get corrected though. I agree with you about the saturation, I usually just dial back the saturation a bit if need be.
I think its a good feature request.0 -

The PDF file does not seem to have an index but it does have a fast search facility so just enter "luminance" as a search word and see what comes up. The only references I found seem to be related to Noise Reduction.

Thank you very much for your help Steven and Grant.I appreciate it. I now know that I have to try other means (dial back saturation as you suggest, Steven). And "fast search" may be the answer for the pdf manual - I'll check it out. Cheers, jp 0 -
I can't find a fast search option with the pdf manual, Grant. Am I missing something?!! 0 -

If you specifically need the way curves hits your contrast, a bit of de-saturation is the only way right now.
Otherwise you could try with the Clarity methods "Classic" or "Neutral". They don't increase the saturation.0 -
Thank you Christian - I'll try the clarity option. I'm still struggling with the file size in export, Christian. I'd really appreciate it if you could let me know how I can send 200-500 kb jpegs. Currently the "0" on the slider gives me a 1 Mb file. I'm sending a 160 photo file of "contacts" and 160MB seems a bit excessive. Also many of my clients look for a high res and a low res (for the Web) copy of an image. Cheers, jp 0 -

Just use the regular search box which should appear up near the top of the window. From that the search that you run should be fast. The default PDF window search stops at each occurrence of the search term which in this case is quite useful - there are not too many instances to discover!
Some PDF Reader variants I have used in the past would read the entire file and then provide a list of possibles. Often not as useful and certainly not guaranteed to be faster.
Looks like Christian has answered the question anyway but the search may be useful again at some future point.

Thanks Grant for getting back to me on this. I can't see any search box at the top of the window. I'm running the latest Adobe reader so this shouldn't be an issue. This is where a screen grab facility would help. jp 0 -
My apologies Christian. I take your point. jp 0 -

My machine has Adobe Reader 9 installed. I should perhaps have differentiated between Find and Search. Apologies.
CTRL-F will give a Find facility (or select from the Edit drop down menu.)
If you have a Toolbar showing it may be on there as well - can be turned on and off.
SHIFT-CTRL-F gives a full search facility that can include multiple PDF files - probably not much worth it assuming you have downloaded the PDF version of the User Guide but if you have several related PDF to search at the same time it's quite powerful.
HTH.
