Page Curl Pro & Puzzle Pro Review - Photoshop Plugins From AV Bros.
Review by Jennifer Apple
Offered by AV Bros., Page Curl Pro (overview below) is an easy to use, user-programmable plug-in for Photoshop that enables you to quickly apply special effects to digital images.
By curling, folding and bending images, the plugin gives you the opportunity to easily recreate a wide variety of interesting and popular design effects. And with its solid capacity at digitally replicating reality (offering up to 25 different light sources), the plugin offers a powerful range of control over texture, 3D perspective and lighting effects.
Its moderate price makes Page Curl Pro a great addition to any graphic designer's toolbox, as it offers one of the most comprehensive filters of its category for its value. And to make the price even better, AV Bros. have sweetly given us an exclusive special offer that allows you to buy Page Curl Pro with a special 10% discount. Page Curl Pro lists at $49.95, and the Regular version at $29.95.
Also from AV Bros., Puzzle Pro (overview below) provides another special effects plug-in for Photoshop. While its main purpose is to create jigsaw-like effects, it can also be used to create any sort of effect that requires cutting an image, including creating mosaic or stained glass effects.
Similar to Page Curl Pro, this plug-in appears to be limited in scope at first glance, but actually offers a vast range of possibilities for innovation on its primary theme. As with Page Curl Pro, AV Bros. have given us an exclusive special offer that allows you to buy Puzzle Pro with a special 10% discount. Puzzle Pro lists at $49.95.

AV Bros. Page Curl Pro - Overview
AV Bros. Page Curl Pro plug-in has the all new and unrivalled engine that lets you not only bend the image, using two types of bending (curling and folding), but also texturize it (using the bump maps), orient it in 3D space (including perspective distortions) and obtain total control over the process of lighting the image (including the option of dropping inner shadows).
Because Page Curl Pro is a multi-purpose plug-in it may be used not only as a page bender, but also as a texturizer and a lighting lab, as well as for many other design purposes.
The interface of Page Curl Pro is extremely user-friendly and has some unique features that make working with the plug-in easy and enjoyable. Here are the main differences between the PRO and the "Regular" version:
AV Bros. Page Curl 2.0 is a high quality, powerful and easy-to-use Photoshop plugin. (Photoshop plugin (also known as Photoshop plug-in) means the filter plugin (8bf) for Adobe Photoshop and compatible hosts, such as Adobe Photoshop Elements, Adobe Image Ready, Adobe (formerly Macromedia) Fireworks, Corel Paint Shop Pro, Corel Photo-Paint, Ulead Photoimpact, etc.) This plugin is targeted to help you create two (2) types of effects: the very realistic turning page effect (Page Curl) and the folding page effect (Page Fold). The plugin lets you adjust the plethora of parameters while curling or folding the page.
The User Interface of AV Bros. Page Curl 2.0 is extremely convenient and has some special features that make your work with the plugin not only pleasant, but very efficient as well. Using AV Bros. Page Curl 2.0 you can create amazing effects in almost no time!
HP printers are designed to work on a wide range of paper types and in a range of environmental conditions (temperature and humidity). HP tries to make printers that will work well for all supported media types. HP also understands that under certain circumstances, some standard product settings might not give the best results. Paper curl gets worse with high humiditiy and high temperature. Low curl modes reduce fusing temperature to try to make the printed sheets flatter. In normal office conditions (relative humidity from 20 to 60%) most paper doesn't curl. If you printed in low curl mode, the lower fuser temperature would produce poorly fused output - resulting in text that might flake or peel off the paper, or pages that might stick together over time.
HP recommends using standard print modes and settings. Only use special print modes, like low curl mode, if you have a problem with curled paper. Also, be sure to set the correct paper type (plan, glossy, cardstock, etc.) in your print driver for best results. Good question, thanks for asking.
If you are looking for a Photoshop plugin that can help you create realistic page curling and folding effects on your images, you may want to check out AV Bros. Page Curl Pro 2.2. This plugin is a multi-purpose and extremely powerful tool that lets you not only bend (curl or fold) the image, but also texturize it (using the bump maps), orient it in 3D space (including the perspective distortions) and obtain total control over the process of lighting the image (including dropping inner shadows)[^1^] [^2^].
In this article, we will show you how to use AV Bros. Page Curl Pro 2.2 to create some stunning page curling effects on your images. We will also explain some of the features and options of this plugin and how they can enhance your creativity and productivity.
To install AV Bros. Page Curl Pro 2.2, you need to download the plugin from its official website at The plugin costs $49.95 for a single user license, but you can also download a free trial version that works for 14 days with some limitations[^2^].
After downloading the plugin, you need to copy the file AVPageCurlPro22.8bf to the Plug-Ins folder of your Adobe Photoshop or compatible host application. Then restart your host application and you will find AV Bros. Page Curl Pro 2.2 under the Filter menu[^3^].
To launch AV Bros. Page Curl Pro 2.2, you need to open an image in your host application and select Filter > AV Bros > Page Curl Pro 2.2. This will open the plugin's user interface, which consists of four main areas: the Preview area, the Navigation area, the Settings area and the Options area[^3^].
To create a basic page curl effect, you need to follow these steps:In the Preview area, click on one of the four corners of the image to select it as the bending point[^3^].In the Settings area, adjust the Angle and Radius sliders to control the amount and direction of curling[^3^]. You can also use the mouse wheel or keyboard shortcuts to change these values.In the Options area, choose whether you want to curl or fold the page by clicking on one of the two buttons[^3^]. You can also switch the direction of curling or folding by clicking on the arrow button next to them.In the Options area, adjust the Opacity and Cross-Opacity sliders to control the transparency of the whole page and the cross-section of the curled or folded part[^3^]. You can also use the mouse wheel or keyboard shortcuts to change these values.In the Options area, click on one of the two color boxes to choose a color for either side of the page[^3^]. You can also use an eyedropper tool to pick a color from your image or from a color picker dialog.In the Options area, click on one of the two flip buttons to flip the content of either side of the page horizontally or vertically[^3^]. You can also swap the content of both sides by clicking on the swap button.When you are satisfied with your page curl effect, click on OK to apply it to your image[^3^]. You can also click on Cancel to discard it or Reset to restore the default settings.
Besides creating a basic page curl effect, you can also use some advanced features of AV Bros. Page Curl Pro 2.2 to create more realistic and complex effects. Some of these features are:The Multi-bend option: This option allows you to create several bends within a single session ofthe plugin[^3^]. To use this option, you need to click on one ofthe four corners ofthe image inthe Preview area and then click onthe Multi-bend button in dbecece10e
The next step is to always fan the paper before placing in the machine. By fanning the paper you will reduce the amount of static between each sheet, allow the paper to breathe, and will reduce jamming issues.
If the paper has been sitting inside the machine for a long period of time it is especially important to fan the paper, flip over the paper, and rotate the stack 180 degrees. (When paper sits inside of the machine it gains a lot of moisture due to the fusing assembly which heats and applies the toner to your page.)
If none of those tips seem to be doing the trick there are a couple of other possibilities. (If you're having other paper jam issues, read Stop Paper Jams With These 13 Simple and Effective Tips to Handle Paper).
If possible use a different output tray on your machine. Some smaller printers and MFPs have a rear output bin. The rear output bin (if applicable) will require a user to open the rear door and allow the pages to bypass a portion of the paper path where the paper curl could be occurring.
A final, though unlikely, possibility is that you could have a damaged fuser. Fusers have controlled operating temperature detection. If the thermistors in the fuser read too hot the machine should throw an error code and ask you call for service.
