Goog day!
I´d like to suggest an improvement of the "color corrections" function.
The single way to fix any color errors was in most applications dragging of R-G-B sliders.
But the 'ideology' of correcting images by manipulating with RGB channels is:
1) inconvenient for visual correction (it is like a changing picture using buttons on the monitor)
2) it's very rough method
3) it's not allow to change lights and shadows separately
So changing R-B-G chanels directly very often produces new errors, instead of proper correction.
Could developers of Irfan View make more convenient method?
I guess, there are some variants:
- a mosaic of small windows with Variations: more Red, more Cyan, more Yellow, more Green, more Magenta, more Blue. And 2 sliders for strength of changes in shadows and in lights, etc.
- slider for color temperature and tint (or, may be! several tints).
- or LCH-sliders. Such as for shadows: lightness, chroma, hue and the same for lights. Or chroma (saturation) can be changed in gray range and in vivid color range separately.
- or, at last, color circle with Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Cyan, Blue, Magenta sectors for visual dragging of some markers.
For example, dots on color sectors (correlative to the colors of current image).
Agree, any variant will be far more convenient for human eye than changing gamma in channels directly.
