I’ve been thinking about this for a while.
I’m not sure I’m right or if my thoughts will be useful to you.
But if anything is helpful, I’m glad.
Just the other day, I realized that not everyone can think globally and long-term. Therefore, I think it’s vital to share my thoughts and ideas.
I started working with graphics with DT, which was version 4.20.
It had a slightly different tone equalizer.
It’s definitely improved.
They’re suggesting replacing the static gradient in the visualization window with a / stripe (I’ve attached an image).
Make it as simple as possible for the processor.
Why I’m thinking about this.
It allows you to quickly adjust the correction, but only for the high or low frequencies of the image.
Without going into deep settings.
I think the static part (the gradient) is understandable to most people. Even without visualization.
I think this is the perfect replacement. I didn’t live in that version, but I watched all the videos about DT. And it stuck in my memory. Written on 3.4.1
You are showing `mask post-processing’ in the screenshot. I don’t see this in DT 5.6 windows. So I am unsure what what you are proposing. If the translation is letting you down, maybe also post in original language and that might help.
This is DT 5.6 and I don’t see anything different in your image, so I am unsure what change you are proposing. The big improvement in 5.6 over earlier versions is the ability to adjust mask exposure and mask contrast compensation while viewing the graph.
The one that you highlight was removed. It is a box plot. It represents flat version of the histogram. When the sliders were moved to be with the histogram, it became redundant and was removed.
Exactly! It’s like we speak different languages, and I can’t explain it to you at all. And you don’t understand me at all.
Boris taught in his video how to adjust the equalizer based only on lights or shadows. This is a good use case. And this graph gave a good understanding of how to set it up quickly.
I propose to return it to the place of the gradient in the graphical representation. Because the gradient is static and does not carry information.
It has been removed…I think it was a guide when the sliders were on a different tab than the graph. Now they are not… so you always see the histogram while adjusting those sliders…If you open an image and you see a warning (note the triangle) then you need to do an adjustment to bring the mask histogram in range…
I am not sure what you want added but the static gradient seems informative to me as it represents the relative brightness. The nodes to the right are very light grey and represent the highlights in the image. The nodes to the left are very dark grey and represent the shadows in the image. Lifting a node makes it brighter and lowering a node makes it darker and that is represented by the vertical gradient.
If you want a change in DT you will need to explain what problem is in need of fixing and what solution you propose. Respectfully I don’t see a problem needing fixing here.
You refer to Boris’s video and I wonder what version of DT was being used there. Tone equalizer was a pain before when you wanted to adjust the positioning of the histogram because the sliders where in the masking tab and the histogram was not visible during adjustment. I suspect you like the way it used to be and you may be asking for a return to that. I personally would not want to see that happen.
I agree that the auto adjustments is not usually correct. That is why having the histogram and sliders together in the advanced tab is an improvement in setting the sliders.
Also another cause of artifacts in the TE module can be from the choice of “preserve details” method. If you have artifacts try changing the method. I sometimes find guided or average guide filter looks better for some image, but EIGF looks better for others.
