After reading Martin Evening's article on expressing blend modes as curves in Photoshop, I figured that I would make a set of curves for LR as well. You guys are welcome to them. They aren't as useful as they would be in Photoshop, and some are only good for special effects. You might find some use for them though, especially soft light, overlay, and maybe multiply and screen.

Excellent!

Thanks Cannon. I have placed them in my prests folder but where would I extract them so that they appear in my tone curve box?

If you unzip the archive in your Develop Presets folder and restart LR, then they should show up in the Presets list in a folder called Tone_Curve_Presets. You can then select which one you want, and it will be applied to the photo and show up in the Point Curve drop-down menu in the Tone Curve panel.

Ok -

I misunderstood, I thought you were saying that they would feature as drop down choices from within the Tone Curve box.

I've done the former and say this - they work great, thanks again.

After poking around in LR2 for a bit, I figured out that my point curves can be saved as ACR presets and will then show up in the Point Curve drop down list in LR2.

If anyone is interested you can put these XMP files in the directory – User/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Camera Raw/Curves(I don't know where they would go on a PC), restart Lightroom, and they will show up in the list.

Very good Cannon! They'll also save as part of a preset when Tone Curve is checked.
