No there is not a simple method like that. Adobe think that if you are knowlagable enough to use curves then the input and output figures with the ability to set points on the curve should be enough.

You can get round it to display the clipping points like levels by using a Curves adjustment layer grouped with the original image and a threshold adjustment layer sitting on top....Alternatively use the curves plugin I posted as this displays the clipping points for highlight and shadows and also as the advantage of you being able to select multiple nuetral points as well

Following a techies buy-out it will no doubt come up to scratch soon.

You might like to download Adobe Lightroom beta for free, Available for PC & Mac at http://www.adobe.com/go/labs_gnav_home

I have been playing with this for a while & am very impressed so far, It has curves & a huge array of features & is very user friendly
There are some bugs & glitches but these are to be expected from a beta version

Well worth a look

Regards Bish.

more thanks to everyone for nice suggestions, unfortunately still back to square 1 as Lightroom only runs on Mac OS10.4 and I am still dragging my heels with 10.3.9, which is mainly worse than 10.2.8. It really bugs me how the large software houses gang up to keep trying to get us to upgrade things that work perfectly well already by this failure to keep compatbility, especially Apple, who until they grabbed the Ipod generation, always made everything, even real oldies, compatible . Prefer to pay $30 to an independent.
