Reset diagrams in L*a*b* adjustments?

Good morning,

playing with the curves for the Lab* adjustments, like e.g. CH, I do not find a way to reset the diagram. There is the arrow for “reset curve to linear”, but the diagrams remain as they are. How do I get back to the diagram at the starting point? RawPedia does not tell me.

Good morning!

The arrow does not reset all of the Lab* curves with one click,
the arrow just resets the curve that you presently have
selected. Example: to reset the a* curve, select the
a* “button” and click the reset arrow. This will make the
a* curve linear (but L* and b* will remain untouched).

Hello Claes,

thank you for your answer. Yes, I saw that the respective curves are reset to linear, e.g. CH. However, the lines and dots in the diagram that were set are still there. I have to restart RT to make them go away and start from scratch. There must be an easier way to reset also the diagrams.

Hi again! Either I misunderstand you or you misunderstand me :slight_smile:
Could you please make a simple step-by-step example so I can follow your
exact actions and see what happens here?

Hi Claes,

some screenshots are in a PDF. At the beginning the diagram at bottom is without the dots. They appear, when I move the mouse over the diagram (whatever the dots mean, I have to read RawPedia to find out). Then I drag one of the lines up producing the Gaussian curves, just experimenting. If I now switch to linear and back to equalizer, the dots and curves are still there. I just want to reset the graph to where it was at start. In other words, how do I reset the equalizer?

You can drag the control points out to the endpoints (or any adjacent control point) and they’ll disappear.

The dots shouldn’t be there. Looks like a bug. Which version of rt?

It is RT 4.2.880 on a Win7 64bit system.

Moin!

I have checked RT 4.2.880 on Win 7/64bit - the curves and the reset arrow work just fine here, without any blue/yellow dots as remnants. I also checked on RT Nightly build on Ubuntu and it also works as intended.

I wonder what difference there is between your Win 7/64 and mine?
English/Deutsch, presumably. Screen resolution? Monitor profile?
Amount of RAM (I have 12 gig)?

Strange. My system is set up in German. I have a dual monitor system with an Eizo CS240 (1920x1200 pixels) and a Dell 2001FP (1600x1200 pixels). Memory is 24GB. The dots in the graph appear on both monitors.

Perhaps a forgotten, outdated version of a custom theme?

How about a complete removal of
RawTherapee and your personal settings
(save them first!) and then download/install
a fresh RT 4.2.880?

As you know, the directories normally involved are
C:\Program Files\RawTherapee-4.2.880
or perhaps C:\Program Files\RawTherapee
as well as C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\RawTherapee

Hi Claes,

thanks. That helped. Now RT is behaving as expected.

Super!
Or perhaps the proper word is affengeil nowadays? :slight_smile:
