ok, but not for now...

No urgency for the comparison tool :wink:
Having the same design than Curve for Exposure, Contrast,... would be useful. I think it can be always displayed.
And what about graphs / clipping in the adjusment tools ?

so Histogram&Clipping when editing an image (like curves)?
Can we have these graphs in a future release?
Same design for Contrast, Brightness, Exposure,... as for Curve

My suggestion was to see the graphs as in the Curve tool, permanently
Something like that (thanks to the Filigrane tool that helped me to quickly build this mockup)

Wahoo, that makes a huge difference vs competitors :)
I think it should be set by default.
... and even the on/off button is no more relevant :wink:

However, after some more trials, did we definitely loose the colours ? It doesn't make sense for Exposure, Contrast, Brightness, etc... It’s clearer for them but for the three modifying the tone (Warmth, Hue and Sepia) it can be valuable.

In v72 all the graphs shows the colours where I felt differently :

If too complicated, I think it's best to have all the graphs in monochrome, at least for the time being.
And as said earlier, the graphs should be always visibles. That's a big value added by XnView vs standard tools.
