[Tig] FC Color query

[Russell Lasson]

Yes, curves were limited by vignettes in a earlier version of FT. It  
was pulled because it was causing problems with the Nvidia graphics  
cards.

Currently, Color still has limited options with the Nvidia cards.  
They really need to fix this as soon as they can. I really miss  
limiting my curve adjustments with vignettes too!

As far as Apple continuing to make adjustments for the professional  
colorist, I'd say they'd be shooting themselves in the foot if they  
don't.
