RT Show RBG values as x/255 rather than percentage?

Im curious if there is a way in RT to show the RGB values in the navigator out of 255 rather than as a percentage? This would be most helpful for 3D and texture oriented folks.

If anyone knows how it would be most appreciated. If not it would be an great and essential option to have for the interface.

As Morgan wrote a few months ago [quote=“Morgan_Hardwood, post:3, topic:1286”]
255 implies working in 8-bit mode. RawTherapee works in 32-bit mode so values are shown in %.

Yes, it would be a simple mathematical transformation, 255 * percentage.

It’s a user feature, not asking to change how the image editing is actually performed.

Done in the navigator-units branch. Just click in the RGB or HSV column to cycle units. However it shows the output image’s value, or the working color space image’s one. The Monitor transform is not “seen” by the navigator.

I think that’s a good thing.

Agreed!

Awesome!

looking forward to it.

navigator-units has been merged to master, you’ll find this feature in the next release, or as soon as now if you can build yourself.

@Hombre Works just fine. Thank you.

If you are going to try this from github, please note that you will need two new dependencies:
gtkmm-2.4 and libcanberra (both the dev variety).

If you built from master branch (not gtk3) in past there are no new dependencies (at least for Windows, didn’t try on Linux yet, but would not expect additional dependencies there too)

Same here, no new dependencies on master and Linux, either.
