I really hope you don't expect people to read the manual in order to learn how to edit simple numerical values. 99% of the time they won't do it and either will ask here or use something else. > As Jo said: HDR images [1].

Probably you should introduce the idea of soft and hard limits to the parameters. This is a concept used in Autodesk Maya (probably it is not the only software using it, but I don't know others). In Maya the soft limit is used by the UI to show a useful default range of values, but the user can override it by typing the value manually. Then the hard limits triggers in and will limit the values the user can enter. If the user enters a value outside of the soft limits range the soft range is expanded. If it enters a value outside of the hard limit the value is clamped. What do you think about such approach? I'm looking at [1] and I can't seem to find a use case for changing the exposure with +18 or -18 stops. Can you describe the work-flow, so I can get the idea? I'm just curious. > It will stay as it is. Single click won't work for film strip for two reasons: > - lighttable uses double click, so it would break user experience\ I don't think, so. My girlfriends' first words about this has been "why doesn't it switch images with a single click". She has been surprised, too. > - you could no longer select images in the filmstrip. RawStudio uses single click and it has image selection in its filmstrip-like-control.
