About: Page Curl Pro 2.x
From: Tim Grey www.timgrey.com
The fine folks at AV Bros. have come up with yet another cool filter plug-in for Photoshop. This one is called "Page Curl", and it allows you to create a remarkably realistic curl effect at one of the corners of an image. They have a number of samples in the gallery at www.avbros.com, but those are mostly graphic-design driven. If you have any interest in this sort of effect, I'd strongly recommend that you download the demo version and try it on one of your own images. It is pretty impressive, and lots of fun, though I don't imagine you'll start putting a curled edge on every photo!
About: Page Curl Pro 2.x
From: Philip Clevenger (Adobe Senior Interface Designer (Lightroom)) www.adobe.com
...I have made a living using Photoshop since it was in its infancy, and have developed many plug-in products for it. But I do not use these products in my own work, or in fact any other plug-ins - I still prefer to do all my artwork manually, for a variety of reasons... so it's always fun when people ask me what plug-ins I use... and I always tell them - NONE. Except for one - Page Curl Pro. It's the only product out there that does stuff that I cannot do by hand, at a level of quality commensurate with my needs.

Thanks for the excellent product and the easy customer service.

Page Curl Pro 2.0 is simply THE best page curl, twist, bend and fold option there is. The feature set is outstanding, the interface is tight, interesting and well-designed, and the output is amazing. Once again, a job well-done!
About: Page Curl Pro 2.x
From: Michael Barlow (Associate Artistic Director, Spare Parts Puppet Theatre) www.sppt.asn.au
I've been meaning to send you my thanks for some time now...
I purchased Page Curl two years ago to create projected imagery for a theatre production. It was a HUGE help to me in creating a number of sequences in which a man folds a drawing into an origami bird and then launches the bird into the air. The show "The Arrival" won best theatre production in Western Australia in 2006 and is touring nationally this year. The animated projection that Page Curl Pro helped to create was nominated for best design and I have had an enormous amount of positive feedback about it.

Thank you for your great product.
About: Page Curl Pro 2.x
From: Frank Slegers www.photoshoptalent.com
I played around a little with the Page Curl Pro 2.2 plugin and I must say, it does exactly what the name says: It curls pages.
After a few minutes I was already curling my favorite photos. The control panel for the plugin is easy to use, intuitive and fast and all curling settings can be controlled with easy sliders.
I'm happy with it and there's nothing else similar out there!

...kann allen, die sich mit der Absicht tragen, Ihr Produkt (Page Curl Pro 2.2) zu kaufen, nur dazu raten. Auch ohne Englischkenntnisse ist das Programm problemlos zu bedienen. Die Installation ist auch sehr einfach gelöst. Mit dem 1.Aufruf von Photoshop kann man es ganz einfach freischalten - ein tolles Produkt!

From: Lisa Bowman   Florida, USA  Digital Design Den
I am a designer for Digital Design Den and your product (Page Curl Pro, AV Bros.) is FANTASTIC. I created a beautiful ribbon in 5 minutes without ever having used this before. I've only started "designing" [digital scrapbook kits] and struggled for hours trying to get it "just right" and your plug-in did it in seconds!
Make more!!!

About: Page Curl Pro 2.x
From: Robin G. Morgan (Digital Arts Teacher Pine Ridge High School, Deltona, Florida)
I first discovered AV Brothers while searching through Adobe Photoshop resource links. I couldn't believe the quality of the plug-in filters!! I downloaded the demos at several stations for my students to see the results, insisting that they peruse the on-line Gallery for ideas. Soon they were off and running. What more could a teacher want than a jump start for young minds! Your company provides excellent software, with nothing-but-quality interfaces, functionality, and options. I couldn't be happier than to see a student reach for that next level or challenge himself or herself to take that next step—because of what your product offers to them as designers.

Puzzle Pro and Page Curl Pro are just the type of resource programs and plug-ins that open up the "eyes" of my students to better designs. When I require them to use the on-line Gallery for ideas and new approaches, I see new worlds open up and welcome them in, regardless of their young ages. I take seriously the job of guiding and directing their learning—and you've made my job so much easier.

Even though I can only use demos and/or allow my students to use my laptop, with full versions loaded (per my purchase), it is worth every minute of their discoveries. There's NOTHING like seeing the joy when their project is printed, knowing that a family member will soon witness the "baby," too.

From the perspective of a high school digital arts teacher, there's nothing I would appreciate more than the option of buying a site license so that every computer in my Digital Arts Lab would have your software.

Thank you for your excellent achievements in software design—and for making each version better. I applaud your efforts and dedication to enhance the profession. Here's to a job well done!!

Thank you for the opportunity to share my experiences as a high school teacher of design.

...I work on my children's elementary school yearbook with a number of other moms. We create pages in the yearbook using photos of the kids doing activities throughout the year. We created a collage that we used your software to puzzlize (our new word). It was so easy and enjoyable to use your software. I was able to cut the pieces and then manipulate certain pieces to avoid cuts through student's faces. It was very intuitive to use and we all loved the result.

Thanks so much for creating a great piece of software!

I just wanted to tell you how happy I am with this plug in. I just made a composition of foto's, to show at my daughter's wedding. I used the puzzle plug in to build the title, revealing it peace bij peace. I shortened the play off time, and now it looks like a film... Great. I know it will be a succes.

I have and use several other third party plugs for what your Puzzle Pro 2.0 does. But I gotta say, Yours is by far, the best!! I'm Very impressed, ease of use, I give you a 8 or 9...probably would have been better had I had actually read the Users Guide. My fault I didn't. Your Plug-in does everything and more, I'm extremely satisfied with this it.
About: Puzzle Pro 2.x
From: Welles B. Goodrich www.chutzpahgalleries.com
I love Puzzle Pro. Of all the possibilities available to create the puzzle effect in Photoshop, your AV Bros. Puzzle Pro 2.0 is by far and away the best. It is the only one deserving of the term 'Pro'. The virtually infinite capacity to create cutter shapes is perhaps most notable, though the variety of adjustments in the Adjust Mode is equally impressive.
I think perhaps my favorite feature is the ability to 'Save selected pieces as PSD.' That gives me a 'live' capacity to keep manipulating the specific placement of pieces after the completion of the Puzzle Pro cutting.

From: Tim Grey www.timgrey.com
I've played with your Puzzle Pro 2.0, and was very impressed!
As you probably know, Photoshop includes a puzzle texture with the Texturizer plug-in, though it is "hidden" so most people don't know it is there. But it doesn't offer any real flexibility, and doesn't even deal with the edge of the photo properly! Your software is very elegant, and provides excellent flexibility...

About: Puzzle Pro 2.x
From: William Marsh   Virginia, USA 
Many thanks for the Puzzle software. It's truly excellent. I'll recommend it to several of my graphics compatriots.

For some reason (and I know I'm not alone here), I only read manuals after I've tried my hand at the software without really knowing what I'm doing. I've always done that. I did the same with Puzzle, and found it's really quite intuitive for simple constructions. Then I printed out the manual and found there were indeed many possibilities that I hadn't imagined. The advice, naturally: Read the damn manuals!

We tried several other page curl plugins and they didn't offer the versatility that yours did. It worked very well and was easy to learn...
About: Page Curl Light 1.2, Setup 1.0
From: Peter Follert
Pretty cool program, nicely designed, well-priced, and a pleasure to use. Here follow a few lines of commentary that illustrate my opinion in more depth:
I subscribe to the Winfiles.com newsletter and visit that site almost daily in search of new and interesting shareware - something out-of-the-ordinary, something practical, something cost-effective, and something that is worth the space it consumes on my hard drive. AV Bros. Page Curl Light v1.2 meets, for me, all these criteria.
There are few graphic applications designed to achieve a page curl effect and none at the irresistable price of AV Bros. Page Curl Light 1.2. Kai's Power Tools is one plugin application for Photoshop compliant programs but its page curl feature is only one component of a far more expensive suite. The AV Bros. Page Curl Lite proves to be more versatile than Kai's Power Tools' page curl feature while being easier on your system's resources than KPT.
The most striking observation occurs during Page Curl's installation. The Installer's window is one of the most creative and interesting I have seen. I am impressed that the installed program's interface continues, in the same vein, to provide a visually appealing, useful, and full-featured graphic interface to its application. The curl adjustment tools are many and allow a great deal of flexibility as well as realtime previewing.
At the price, how can one refrain from registering? (bold-AV Bros. :-) )
The only caveat I might offer : I believe one should exercise restraint in applying page curls to one's graphics. Use it subtly, use it creatively, and use it rarely. The curl effect became very popular sometime ago and suffered overexposure to the extent that it has become cliche. In this light, Page Curl Light offers me outstanding value for the money as an effect I will use judiciously.
