Scale on histogram

#1

Post by Gfischer »

Hi Robin,
I was doing Eaa last night and thought of something. When I adjust the dark and mid points my computer not being the fastest takes a couple of seconds to show changes. I use the labels in the tabs above as reference points to make changes. I then wait for computer to catch up to observe changes. I was thinking a scale running over or under histogram window would be nice. You could have the markings match the cameras range.

Really am enjoying your program.
Thanks for all your hard work

Hi,

just to check I am following you correctly, you are referring to the points in the live stack histogram yes?

If that's correct, then is it any help that the vertical text on each of the three adjustment lines gives a readout of the current position of that line - ie if it says 'Mid Level 0.234%' then that tells you that the mid level slider is currently at 0.234% of the full brightness range.

cheers,

Robin

Robin,
You’re right I could use that read out. Is there short cut key or another way to move vertical line without actually dragging it. Maybe like the fine adjustment arrows on color balance bars.

Hi George,

once you have picked one of the lines by clicking on it, you can use the left and right arrow keys to move it. If you hold down SHIFT along with the left/right arrows then it moves more slowly allowing fine adjustments.

cheers,

Robin
