Digital Light & Color

Checking against a colorchecker image the 6 neutral patches go from 98 ending at 74 for black. Checking HSL and HSV gave numbers o...

Thanks so much seemed to work with curves but not selective color. As soon as I went to the cube to select a color the readout lost focus or so it seemed....

So if I have loaded an image and then applied say 4 or 5 transforms and I zoom in on the last one and then I want to backup through the transforms at that exact same zoom to evaluate the flow of the edit in that region right now I ca...

II was trying to make an image adjustment to skin using curves and I could not set a picker on the skin and have it update as I made adjustments. If this is not a...

Thanks for all the info...I will check it out...I appreciate your insight....

Thanks for sharing I'll take a look at how those compare.....thanks for the update....

Did you update the values in PWP8 to reflect your measurments...sounds like you should ...I would measure mine if I had the hardware...that is interesting.....
