PLv7: Redesign of PL's Local Adjustments user-interface ... A constructive perspective

[John-M (Melbourne, Australia - Win10)]

Please consider voting for the following - to help to make PLv7 a lot more comfortable and efficient to work with …

In my opinion, the first one is critical … Otherwise, PLv7’s LA UI is much more difficult to use, compared with PLv6’s

PLv7 Request/Suggestion: Restore real-time feedback when placing a Local Adjustment’s U-Point (as it was with PLv6)

@John-M

PLv7 no longer provides instant/real-time feedback, via the B&W Mask, when moving a Local Adjustment’s U-Point around different parts of the image … which makes it a tedious, and potentially inadequate, process for fine-tuning selection of the most appropriate U-Point location.

PLv7 Request/Suggestion: Better layout of the LA tab - to keep list of Local Adjustments fixed permanently at the top

@John-M

The list of LA correction tools is now long - especially when some are expanded (particularly for those like the HSL tool) … and, over time as more tools are added, this list will only get longer still !

It’s now too easy to lose sight of the list of LAs, as it scrolls off the top of the screen (as we scroll down to access “hidden” tools)

PLv7 Request/Suggestion: Make it easier to identify changes applied to Local Adjustment sliders

@John-M

Now that Local Adjustment settings are spread down a vertical list of LA correction tools, (which are not necessarily all visible at once), it’s now much more difficult to identify which LA correction settings have been assigned … especially when changes are small, such that the “blue line” on sliders is not visible.

PLv7 Request/Suggestion: Clarity for when PLv7 is in (or not in) Local Adjustment mode

@John-M

PLv7’s UX would be greatly enhanced if the LA-tab operated as a Local Adjustments mode toggle
