It does seem more reasonable to ask the knowledgable users to change a few settings (which they understand the implications of), rather than place this burden on newbies or others for whom a "friendly" user experience is more important. :) > Anyway, there will be discussions in a few days at the Libre Graphics > Meeting about the pixelpipe, so we will see what can be done to fix > that.

Since the basecurve module must be retained, I'm wondering if, now that its default position has been moved to after colorin, is there anything preventing it from being moved even further along the pipe, to the most harmless possible location (whatever that might be)? Part of deprecating its use as a curve module might include diminishing that portion of its UI, while emphasizing more the "fusion" function, for those who like that flavor of tonemapping? Just a thought. -- jys ___________________________________________________________________________ darktable developer mailing list to unsubscribe send a mail to darktable-dev+unsubscr...@lists.darktable.org
