32bit Preview Exposure slider curve: Can this be changed?

[JorgenH]

Hi,

I'm new to AP (coming from PS) and want to try and transition my 32bit editing. However, I'm not lovign the exponential exposure slider in 32bit preview panel. After 3 or so EVs it starts changing really quickly. In this case I liked the PS 32bit preview better, which has a linear slider.

Why is this important? Well, I'm looking around my HDRIs while sliding the exposure up and down, from min to max. This allows me to easily spot any mistakes in the HDR merge and/or pano stitch thoughout the entire dynamic range. 

I've gone through the config without any luck, and googling/searching the forums didn't help either (I apologize if I've missed an obvious answer). 

So, if this isn't possible to change in current build, can this be added as a setting? Either a simple checkbox for Exp/Lin or an actual curve editor for the hardcore. 

Thanks!

I've compared Affinity's & PS's sliders and there certainly seems to be more granularity to PS's. The exact reason for this I'm not currently sure of, but I'll be sure to bring this up with the relevant team.

Unfortunately there isn't a setting in the current build to change this, so I'll move this to Feature Requests for our devs to see and coniser!
