Quick mockup of curves tool with several manipulators. (39.15 KB, image/png)

Description Pasi Savolainen 2004-01-25 16:16:07 UTC 
It would be nice to have option to show all channels in Curves dialog.
Similar to what is shown as a screenshot in this address: http://www.
scantips.com/dual2.html (here it is 'levels' tool which has several 
channels shown).

This will quadruple the size of Curves dialog, so it probably would be best 
to have this behind some kind of extension button (kind of 'Advanced 
options..').

This is to some extent a duplicate of bug #128694 but since it
suggests a different approach it should probably not be closed as a
duplicate.

I would prefer to see the screenshot attached here since links to
external pages tend to break. Perhaps the bug reporter could do this?

Comment 3 Sven Neumann 2004-01-25 18:48:12 UTC 
If you ask me, this takes way too much screen estate and blocks the
view on the image window. The image window is the important thing when
doing color corrections so I would really prefer the solution proposed
in bug #128694.
Comment 4 Pasi Savolainen 2004-01-25 19:34:43 UTC 
Yeah, I know what you mean. That's why I'm all for the 'toggle' button 
for such a feature.

On the other hand, on 1600x1200, this ain't that big. Twice the width 
of tool palette. It most likely will cover tool palette and some part 
of image.

In theory this could be reduced to regular-width, 3x height dialog, 
moving 'value' channel away.

Additionally, it's no exactly clear what governs width of the 'curve' 
-widget. It measures as 256x256 pixels, could it be set to 100x100, 
with an option for bigger view?
Comment 5 Sven Neumann 2004-01-25 20:17:12 UTC 
Could you please read the other reports first. Your bug report was
almost a duplicate already and now you are coming up with more points
that are already mentioned in other reports about the Curves tool.
Comment 6 Sven Neumann 2004-07-09 22:32:20 UTC 
The histogram offers this option now and you can have the histogram opened
together with the Curves dialog. It will also update with the changes you do to
the curves. IMO that is sufficient and this report should be resolved.

Resolving as FIXED on the basis of comments.
