The pre-PLv7 Local Adjustments user-interface was quick-and-easy to navigate … all controls/sliders were within comfortable reach - and not a lot of mouse-movement was necessary.
That’s no longer the case with PLv7’s new LA-tab layout.
The problem to be solved:
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) … I’m referring here to this critical list; - Keep this list in fixed position, at the top of the LA-tab.
Proposed solution:
Make positioning of the list of Local Adjustments, and the various buttons that work with them, fixed at the top of the LA-tab - so that they’re permanently visible and readily accessible at all times.
Looks like pinning to me. Fixes the location of a (number of) tool panel(s) at the top of the right dock and scrolls everything else below the pinned panel(s).
Automatic pinning for the LA list?
How about small screens on a notebook computer?
I’m using a second screen, where (alternatively to DxO’s ‘Advanced’ workspace) most palettes reside … and so one for Local Adjustments. Even there the “layer’s box” cannot be resized at wish.
- Keep this list in fixed position, at the top of the LA-tab.
