We are discouraged from changing the carefully thought out order of the modules. I would really appreciate some feedback on if there are any perceived issues with changing the order of the following modules. I would like to put the contrast equalizer after filmic for the reasons identified by David at the start of this thread. I would also like to move the RGB levels and RGB curves modules after filmic since I often want to use these for contrast or lighting adjustments after filmic. I also do not understand why tone equalizer is placed before filmic, but I blindly trust that Aurelein is responsible for this order and he has the wisdom to know where to place his modules. I have heard him say that some modules are placed in the wrong order, but I don't know which ones. Advice would be appreciated. Thanks Terry.
