color zones != zone system The "zone system" module is now deprecated, and planned to be removed for new edits soon (it will stay in the code for existing edits, so there's no urgent need to redo those). Personally, I find the "tone equaliser" module at least as easy to use, once you get a bit familiar with the masking part. The view of the different zones/ tonalities is more precise, imho.
