When I send a .JPG to the printer and they ask me to save it in Photoshop Curves because they can't do anything with a .jpg, what does that

Tip for best answer: M$0.25
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

First of all, images usually need to be in 300dpi of resolution to get a good print quality. Be sure to check this in your JPG. You can learn more about this here:

Printers prefers TIFF format for images so I don't understand they ask you to save in Photoshop Curves because is not an image format. P. Curves is a Photoshop tool which let you manage color correction of the image.

I think you should contact with your printer again to get better information about ther requirements for print your image :)

I believe curves is a color adjustment tool within the program Photoshop and not an image format. If your printer, I'm assuming this is a person, refuses to print .jpg you can export the image to a .tif or .pdf format. You can use Photoshop itself but you probably don't have access to the program. A free alternative is to use Picasa or some other image editor.

On another note, it troubles me that your printer did not inform you about this.
