Well Ive had some time to play with the new layer fx and it is very cool!....heres some specific feedback
REPLACE works incredibly well considering its simplicity!...classic Taron! ( perhaps "selection" is a more appropriate term)
The fact that replace is superfast, live and works in realtime( even if fuids are in motion) is freaking AWSOME!@#$%
TINT is sweet and simple but very useful...especially in conjunction with replace....perfect.
BLEND is a wonderful idea...Love it! Would be nice to have a little btn beside it ( or modifier key) for immediate A/B comparision
DESATURATE and PERCEPTION work great together ( looks sooo much better than straight desaturate....should just be default )
MATERIAL is my favourite feature!!!!!!...I love love love that you can tweak and INVERT THE BUMP!!!!@#$%^ Brillaint!
LUMINOSITY without mucking up colour is a very cool feature...Nice!
I find the HISTOGRAMS as they implemented very frustrating and unnecessarily awkward and cumbersome.
Things get squeezed and compressed making handle grabbing difficult at times and the shifting images depending on channel content
can be distracting especially when range is extended via the slider which re scales everything....the inconsistency from window to window is confusing.
I personally would prefer the simple and efficient elegance of CURVES ( or even a traditional histogram behaviour)
I also love that you can view multiple curves at once in a single window.
I look forward to the addition of HUE SHIFT as I find that one of the most practical and useful tools!
So nice to have these features added...THANK YOU for putting it out there TARON
