re: Windows XP version Beta 4 Need a detailed explanation of the “Tone Curve” Presets. Their name and application seems inconsistent, no logic. For example: Use Zero’d as a start point. This seems to work fine. All controls set to zero, a good starting point to learn the effect of each control.
Now apply: Tone Curve - Lightroom Default Changes from Zero: Exposure = Yes Recovery = Yes Blacks = Yes Brightness = No Contrast = Yes Vibrance = Yes Saturation = Yes Tone Curve = Yes, Linear to Medium Sharpen = No Smooth = No De=noise = No
Back to Zero’d, then apply: Tone Curve - Linear Contrast Changes from Zero: Exposure = No Recovery = No Blacks = Yes, Zero to 5 Brightness = No Contrast = No Vibrance = No Saturation = No Tone Curve = No, remains Linear Sharpen = Yes, 0 to 25 Smooth = No De=noise = Yes 0 to 25
Back to Zero’d, then apply: Tone Curve - Medium Contrast Changes from Zero: Exposure = No Recovery = No Blacks = No Brightness = No Contrast = No Vibrance = No Saturation = No Tone Curve = Yes, graphic curve changes but label remains Linear Sharpen = No, remains 0 Smooth = No, remains 0 De=noise = No, remains 0
Back to Zero’d, then apply: Tone Curve - Strong Contrast Changes from Zero: Exposure = No Recovery = No Blacks = No Brightness = No Contrast = No Vibrance = No Saturation = No Tone Curve = Yes, graphic curve changes but label remains Linear Sharpen = No, remains 0 Smooth = No, remains 0 De=noise = No, remains 0
If you compare the above, you see no consistent logic. And Tone curve label does not match change in graphical curve.
