Hue Masks;
-
Note: The Luminosity mask is still available only if one has a FP7 license.
-
The new Hue mask works similarly, but for colour/hues instead of “brightness” (luminosity)
-
However, there’s a conflict to be aware of - For example ;
– Set the HUE Mask for a range of reds/oranges in an image … and then select the blue-channel via the HSL sub-tool and attempt to change its Hue … and, of course, nothing happens - because the HUE & HSL selections are mutually exclusive. -
I’m all for avoiding confusion for users, in which case, it would have made better sense for the conflicting HSL sub-tool to be disabled when the Hue mask is active.
Improved Comparison mode;
-
New ability to compare to a reference image other than a version of the current image - and additional comparison modes (with dedicated mode-switch toolbar button).
-
I know that a lot of users will welcome this enhancement
-
It’s mildly confusing, tho, that all VCs with Soft Proofing activated are labelled as such (instead of as “Virtual Copies”, which is what they actually are).
