Hi all, My name is Jon, and I'm here to volunteer to write some documentation.
I've had a brief exchange of emails with Anders about it, and so I've seen the existing, albeit old documentation. Writing documentation is something I can do well, whereas coding isn't, which is why I choose documentation writing as a way to contribute to open source projects. I envisage the documentation being quite similar in format to what currently exists. I have a few questions for the dev team about the implementation: - How do you want to present the documentation? Will it accompany the software, and if so, in what format? Or will it be purely online, with a link from within rawstudio? - I think it would be a good idea to get documentation prepared for 2.0, ready to release with that When is 2.0 expected (roughly)? Since I'm introducing myself and offering my help, I may as well give my few comments on the usability / features of rawstudio. Firstly, I think rawstudio has some very good features: - It's very responsive - Due to the usability it is easy to tweak images, and compare the effects - The photographer's workflow is streamlined, the software does not get in the way But I believe there are a couple of small usability issues: - The default behaviour of setting the white balance when the image is clicked is confusing To conform to common practice, it would make sense to have this toggled with a button / keystroke - Simple zooming Currently only possible to zoom to 100%, or zoom to fit. Graduated zooming with (for example) CTRL+mouswheel is the common, and very quick and easy. Clicking and dragging with the left mouse button when zoomed in should drag the image around. The above comments are about usability and intuitiveness, this final one is my own personal feature request. - Reduce to B&W It would be great to be able to reduce to black and white, and vary the RGB being used to do so. This would allow photographers to, for example, produce a B&W image dominated by the red channel This is the equivalent of using lens filters, or DSLR lens filter effects. All comments welcome. Cheers Jon :-)
