@Guenterm I wrote this but never posted it!

@Egregius

It turns out that this has been discussed with DxO before, a lot, and they plan to fix it but no hurry:

@Egregius Unless I have read the date wrongly that was back in April 2019!!??

Abandon hope all who enter here

@Pat91

By the way, DxO (actually, Gilles Théophile) still don’t specify a version number or a publication date for their manuals. Or it is well hidden. This is annoying.

The issue that they don’t even release the software with proper identification was raised some time ago! It got worse with the DxPL5 release and has never recovered.

Sadly, while an excellent product it lacks features, has long standing issues that urgently need fixes, while it seeks for new features in an attempt to try to drive up new sales. Keeping existing customers “happy” brings in some revenue, providing they are convinced that the upgrade is worth it but capturing new customers brings in more revenue!?

@maderafunk

The line of code would be something like this:

Dear Mr Slider, please move your behind to the position that will return X.

@maderafunk nice bit of pseudo-code, if only programming was quite that easy. Although passing the reference point to the “slider” logic and adjusting the display to reflect that “new” position shouldn’t be too difficult given that they already have some “model” code to work from!

The quote that @Egregius highlighted stated

@sgospodarenko

Hello guys,

This issue is as old as the earth . Now serious: it will be fixed in the scope of WB palette reworking but not in the near future.

@maderafunk

I appreciate the ideas for a work around. But my intention was rather to make dxo aware of this design flaw with the hope that they will fix this, before users will abandon their software completely.

and where did this information come from @Wolfgang?

@Wolfgang

But I image, DxO needs to review the tool when implementing softproof for RGB images.

Coming Soon
• Paper and Ink Simulation for Soft Proofing;
• DxO Wide Gamut working color space for RGB images (currently only works on RAW files).

i.e. this “area” is open and it looks as if work is going to be done for RGB images so @DxO_Support-Team perhaps now would be an appropriate time to fix this particular issue!
