Hi,
-For my first suggestion, I am not saying that we should rearrange the
order in which the changes are applied to the image, but rather to
rearrange the modules to suit the order in which we edit photos (For
instance, if someone always tweaks exposure before shadows/highlights, it
is more logical to have the exposure module above the shadows/highlights
one, rather than the other way round. regardless of the order in which the
effects are applied on export). If this isn't possible without altering the
order in which changes are applied to the image, then scrap my suggestion.
-For the second suggestion, I just found that it was more intuitive to be
able to change the brush size before clicking, rather than after the fact.
Changing brush size after the fact sometimes made me have to re-position
the sampling area. It's also partly to make it work more like other
programs people use, like GIMP.
-For the third suggestion, I was not aware of the shift+click thing, I
don't remember seeing it in the user guide. Maybe it's there but I missed
it or something, I'm not entirely sure. But that addresses the problem, so
there's no need to implement a "solo mode" like Lightroom
Thanks for the reply though :)
