Larger Brightness Curve box

Post by tonygamble »

Is there a quick way I could get myself a larger box without working and stretching outwards the corners?

Image

You can see from my rubbish graph how much fiddling I leave myself. I need a nice big area to work on!!

It would be great to save this big one in my preferences.

I tried implementing something like this but unfortunately it turned out to be much trickier than I expected due to complications related to using dual monitors. I may revisit this later if I can figure out something that works reliably.

Thanks Jonathan.

I'm a dual monitor user and your reply reminds me I ought to see about using the second one more with PWP. At the moment I don't so maybe I am missing some opportunities already.

Using a dual monitor definitely helps prevent the transformation dialog box from obscuring the images you are working on, but the issue of controlling the initial size of the dialog box remains.

You mentioned two screens were an obstacle.

I wondered if putting the box on the other screen made fixing the size easier for you.

Ever optimistic !!

Not specific to the issue at hand,
Just wanted to add that I also have dual monitors and have them set up so the main window is on one while the Image Browser takes up the second. Also when I open a Transformation/Dialogue Box, it too sits on the second monitor (in front of the Image Browser). This leaves pretty well the entire main monitor for the image.
Only the main monitor is color managed and the Browser is expanded to full monitor size (often have multiple image thumbnails across the screen).
Can't recommend a dual set-up more heartily.

Thanks J,

I think my browser is 'docked'. I have asked my friend Perplexity to tell me how to separate it - but with no success.

Can you help me please!

This toolbar at the top of the main window controls the image browser layout.

Stream Deck for me a great help with masks.

The core temp stuff can monitor my emails whilst I am working two screen PWP.
