Just recently, I got PSP XI and I've been working with it lately and it seems to be working nicely. However, with that in mind, it seems that my curves and levels have been... er out of whack? For the lack of a better term. Because while I was sifting through some tutorials I can't seem to notice that with others have boxes where you can insert the numbers without manually having to play with the lines and such while with mine you don't have the boxes and it makes everything so much more difficult.

Anyways, my question would be, is there anyway to get those boxes back, because I'm thinking there should be a way to set the settings? or is it just like that because Corel decided to take out the number boxes for the newer versions?

Anyways, I have some screenshots below the lj cut so help would be very welcomed :]


my curves and levels:


what I see in tutorials:

[^ both of the above screen shots were taken from outspoken-kate.com]

I also understand that the second levels screen shot was taken from a photoshop program however I'm assuming it should be similar for PSP as well.

So I'm hoping this can be fixed, if not then perhaps someone can explain exactly how levels and curves work so I can work with them without the number boxes.

Any help would be appreciated.
