I use to take pictures of paintings and other stuff in order to
catalogue and archive them. I prepare a set and shoot five times for
every item and five more with a color chart, keeping the aperture fixed
and changing the time. Then, I look at all the images and look for the
one with the correct exposure (after making a proper icc profile for the
session following the amazing Elle Stone's methods). Once I have
processed this one image, I intend to copy paste the history to the rest
"with the same exposure time", and I have to navigate the lighttable
with the mouse to select them among hundreds one by one.
Yes, the ability to collect them by exposure time would be great for me.
I dont' know if I am the only person who finds it useful. There are
other criteria which I don't use, but I understand they might be useful
for other people and, as you can choose, on the side of the camera, from
"focal length", "ISO", "aperture" and "lens", I think that adding the
option "exposure time" wouldn't be a crazy thing to consider. On the
other hand, I may be wrong, but I think that adding this wouldn't be a
nightmare for the developers (of course, I am not one of them and
respect their job and their priorities: I'm sure there might be other
much more important things).
Thanks.
