Clarity streamlining

[TEcHNOpls]

Hi,

while clarity has been improved, it still needs some streamlining.

Clarity in DOF live filter is in PX while on it's own its in percent. This looks messy and makes transfering settings unreliable.

ie. setting clarity in DOF I decide to move it to another layer (to make it 'global') and I can't get the same results.

Have you reported this before? I never realised but I can't see any good reason why they are different... I'll pass this to the developers. Cheers

Not sure, I couldn't really use the beta (1.7.x) earlier, so I went through the list of changes now and noticed this issue.

[Chris B]

Development said that for now, this is by design. This is because it is using the old Clarity mode and many users might not expect new behaviour and I'm not sure how this might affect existing documents. 

Hopefully they will address it in the future.

Ok. Thou it's probably the best right now since the file format change.

Also, the px approach is the new, yes?

[Chris B]

The % is the new approach as the Clarity filter on its own has adopted this. However we didn't change it for Depth of Field  yet because the results were too drastic for miniature blurs and this is why it has been kept as px.

Ok, hopefully it'll be streamlined before 2.x (maybe 1.8 branch). Thanks for the info.
