Curves, why do I have 255/255 in one image and only 100% in another?

Correct answer Terri Stevens

It always helps to explain what you are talking about when asking questions here as we are not mind readers and your question doesn't make much sense. However I will have a guess and suggest the 'curves display options' are set differently in the images

There are two options for display, one uses tonal range values(0-255) and the other percentages(0-100). The default is tonal range-referred to as 'light' unless you design for print

The other is 'pigment/ink' . The curves look entirely different as shown between the two views shown here and yet the end result is exactly the same

You are participating in a discussion on one of the Adobe Community Forums. You are interacting with community volunteers who have expertise in these applications and who take time out of their workdays to help others with their questions. We were all new users once, and we know these applications are complicated. But we do not work for Adobe and we are not paid. We are always happy to help our fellow users but when someone is rude or abusive to us, we are just as happy to go help someone else.

I have been very plain in my request. I don't know how else to ask you for

the steps from the time CS6 starts to get to your screen shots.

Hi

You need to Open an image to see these tools. See Barb posting.

Curves reside in two locations.

Image > Adjustments > Curves and
Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Curves.

Terri was showing you the second location, so I'm guessing you are in the first one.

Request to have your supervisor. I asked a simple question. You responded

twice with an incomplete answer. When I asked how to get to the screens

you showed me, you say I have an attitude. Lets have your supervisor make

that decision.

Hi RHoward68504.

You addressed that to me, and I answered your question by providing both locations for the Curve controls along with a screen shot.

What am I missing here?
