Download the curves

If you're interested to try out the curves, here they are.

To use, unzip the archive to wherever you like, apply a Curves adjustment layer to your photo, and use the Load button to load the curve you want from the appropriate file. I strongly encourage you to tweak them to make them your own -- and explore whole new ways of manipulating color and tone with curves. It's much more fun that way.

Update: A reader was kind enough to convert these curves to Gimp Curves format, for use with Gimp and Digikam on Linux. If you've joined the FOSS world and want to take these curves with you, here they are. Thanks, Mario Maggi!
