Hello DxO Team,
there is this new workflow behavior since Silver Efex v8:
Nik Silver Efex Filters and Filter Looks
In Nik Silver Efex, we have updated the workflow so that the logic matches that of Nik Color Efex and Nik Analog Efex. When an image is first opened, the right-hand panel contains only Film Types (the foundation for any edit), and other filters appear once they have been selected from the left-hand panel. This means that the editing experience is less cluttered, keeping filters out of the way unless they are in use.
Please provide an option for those interested in, to return to the behavior of Silver Efex v7 where all nine filters are immediately available on the right-hand panel when an image is first opened.
I understand this approach in ColorEfex with its 60+ filters, but in SilverEfex there are only 9 filters and I find it very handy to see how the filter settings on the right panel change as I activate different presets on the left panel one after the other, without the set of filters on the right changing depending on the preset.
Thanks
