mapline Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Hi All loaded and updated perfectly and Shadows a vast improvement. Thanks to the team. Small feed back "Fixed Spacebar not changing cursor to hand when in Develop" not fixed. Click on Zoom tool then press Spacebar no hand and no movement. Sorry. All others work.

Uwe367 Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 I tested the Beta now and the new Clarity and Shadow algorithm works very much better than in 1.6.1.93. Thanks a lot for this development. But the Lights doesn´t work. It doesn´t matter if i set it up to +100% or down to -100%... there is no reaction detectable. In the older Version (1.6.1.93) it is working. My OS is WIN 10 64, newest Updates. Have a nice day. Ich wünsche einen schönen Tag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the older Version (1.6.1.93) it is working. My OS is WIN 10 64, newest Updates. The tool draws only strong overshoots, while not affecting neighboring tones. For this, the tool sometimes works imperceptibly. This tool is so lacking in other editors who, following the overexposures, reduce the brightness of those colors that are inappropriate to lower. As a matter of fact, the dynamic range of the image is greatly expanded, without loss of contrast. I did not see the influence of the instrument at first, but finding the right shots surprised his work. __________________ Windows 11 64-bit, AMD Ryzen 9 3900 + Nvidia 1660 Super + Nvidia Studio driver + 32 Gb RAM.
