Drat. Given your prominence in this community, I was hoping for a more encouraging response.
Except for the fourth point, though, reasonable people can disagree. I didn’t think providing a detailed proposal would be a problem, and since I’m proposing to do the work and asking for community input, the fact that it’s a new workflow or CMS isn’t fundamentally a problem – many open-source projects exist because someone had a idea or a need and developed a solution. That was my intent, and wanted feedback before I started. And I guess I’ve received it.
The fourth point, though, is fundamental. As a rank beginner, I’m really struggling with understanding what to do when looking at a raw photo and trying to decide what to do next. If I could look at a database of paired photos and have a step-by-step description of what I needed to do to get from one to the other, I’d be very pleased.
Creating a series of steps from pp3 files, though, isn’t ideal. Better would be an annotated history, e.g. History and/or reset - seeing our footprints - #7 by RT-Noob, and use that as a starting point .
I like the way LightZone groups a series of JPEG’s with the original file, and wish RT had something like that – snapshots are incomplete, but maybe when they’re fleshed out they’ll have something like this.
Anyway, I appreciate the feedback on my idea, even if I’m disappointed with the actual response.
