I currently use this dev. version of RT:
RawTherapee_dev_5.8-2951-gef49d9eef_W64_Skylake_210530
To day I edited an ARW file in RT and made adjustments in the HSV Equalizer, Saturation part. I then copy-pasted the S-settings to the Value part.
I then returned to the browser to load another ARW. This 2nd image looked more saturated than I remembered from the last edit, so I went to HSV Equalizer to see why - and found precisely the same settings I had just used in the 1st image - identical for S and V. Were they taken from the clipboard? At least they should not be there - could even have replaced what had been there?
Also settings stick in the Defringe equalizer (unless full purple is meant to be a default value - it’s the returning value currently - here).
If any value is set in the Defringe equalizer and Neutral processing profile is run, the equalizer is not reset - the value is still there.
About the HSV Equalizer issue: I’m not able to reproduce this.
About the Defringe setting: I do believe this, the purple slider being fully up, is the default. At least it has been this way for as long as used RawTherapee (first stable 5.8 and now also all the development version since).
Purple fringing is by far the most common and I’ve always assumed that this is why it is set this way.
I just had a quick look at RawPedia defringe page and it also shows this with the purple slider up
Didn’t know this was default for Defringe.
Thank you.
Regarding the HSV Equalizer I am pretty sure about this. I have observed it with prior dev. versions, and this time I thought I had the circumstances in place.
But apparently not.
Paul: Is the 5.8-2990 dev. version available for Win 64? If so, do you have a link.
@Eigil_Skovgaard : I’m also a Linux user that builds from scratch, but here’s the location that has the latest (2992 at the moment of writing this) RawTherapee for Windows version: RTW64NightlyBuilds
BTW: Do you apply, automatically or otherwise, any profiles when
loading a RAW for the first time? I’ve been (re-)trying to replicate your HSV issue and I cannot.
I made a quick test too and couldn’t reproduce. Can you try to reproduce this error and write down what you click exactly?
Do you use multi tab mode? I’ve experienced some hickups with copy and paste with that one.
Also, you probably know this but just to make sure… The RT equalizer and curve tools remember their last settings. So for example if you change the HSV saturation from linear to ‘min max points’ it will always default to the settings in your previously edited image.
Uli,
No I didn’t know that. As far as I remember, I loaded a 2nd image with an existing pp3, i.e. it had been edited earlier. In that case I think inherited settings would be of no use - or could it even replace existing settings? My second image loaded was much more saturated than I left it last time - and the HSV Equalizer was active and showed the settings from the prior image, which I find less practical.
The next image should load with it’s own settings entirely, and if HSV had not been used for that image earlier, it should load with the neutral setting.
I can’t imagine in which cases the HSV settings should be inherited - unless I would edit a sequence of almost identical images, which I don’t do regularly.
That’s how it’s supposed to work. Only if you change the dropdown from ‘linear’ to ‘equalizer’ it will default to the last used settings. But maybe that behavior is the source of this problem somehow.
Uli,
If the earlier settings from the 1st image lie resident in the equalizer and the HSV is made active or was activated during the prior session - then I would expect the settings to be applied to the 2. image even if I don’t open the equalizer (?).
I don’t think so. You would have to actively switch from linear to equalizer to apply the settings from your 1st edit. If on your 2nd edit the HSV tool is already in equalizer mode no changes will be applied.
Ok, Uli - I’ll be watching.
To exclude misunderstandings - in my first explanation I mentioned two different images. So the 2nd edit is on another image than the 1st.
Yes, I have put a personal general preset in Preferences, but it only activates HSV as a visual help - and when it was created, it was based on Neutral, and all HSV equalizers were zeroed.
