[Usability suggestion] Simplified and adjusted LAB curves


Recommended Posts

A suggestion - I find it unbearable to edit in LAB curves in Photo - and the only issue is usability:

This is what makes LAB editing not-so-fun to use in Photo:

  • A visual mess - all curves show at the same time with various colours
  • Colours are misleading
    • AOpponent curve (just label it 'Channel A') is represented with green, kind of OK, it 'adjusts' magenta <-> green
    • BOpponent curve (just label it 'Channel B') is represented with magenta, wrong, it 'adjusts' yellow <-> blue
  • Floats in input fields? Why?

AOpponent... what? Channel A.

Photo 1.9 - even when adjusting one single channel - impossible to focus and work:

Worst case - overlapping curves:

Other example - just a mess:

Adobe Photoshop since forever - much, much better:

I have said it a hundred times; Photo is great feature wise as an editor - but needs a major - MAJOR - usability overhaul.

  • Computer-, operating system- and software agnostic; I am a result oriented professional. Look for a fanboy somewhere else.

  • Not an Affinity user og forum user anymore. The software continued to disappoint and not deliver.
