Thanks! Now I’ve looked at the processing order and this kind of brings me back to my first post on this forum. It was not very well articulated, but I still stand behind the principle.
I so wish that at least Film simulation would be placed after the local adjustments. As an example… The LUT usually increases contrast and thus darkens shadows. Trying to raise those darkened shadows — during dodging and burning via local adjustement — after applying LUT will reduce the editing headroom for local adjustments dramatically. It seems counter intuitive, but I’d love to hear the reasoning.
To me, the logical placement of the local adjustments in the processing order would be between step 12 and 13.
I want to add that I’m extremely thankful giving us these local features. I also want to add that I’m not a programmer, but I did work as a professional full time retoucher for close ten years and I this is the way those I came across worked. If possible, local adjustments first (for maximum editing local adjustments headroom) and global after.
Now, I need to install VirtualBox ASAP to try this thing out!
