I had a similar conversation via the list on this. This is the decision of the developers but: My understanding, which could be wrong, is that DT is not storing the mix, but the graph of the equalizer. The mix is to reduce or increase the 'content of the container/pot'. * At 0.5 mix, only upper 1/2 of the bottom of the graph is in brown (I hope that it makes sense, sorry but English is not my first nor second language). * At 1 the full bottom of the graph is in brown Apply you preset, then compare the graph with the luma tab, the chroma tab and the edges tab. Then maybe my explanation will make sense :) -- sknahT vyS ____________________________________________________________________________ darktable user mailing list to unsubscribe send a mail to darktable-user+unsubscr...@lists.darktable.org
