Frequently I find myself wishing that the tone curve and the base
curve could be visualized and manipulated in terms of (photographic)
stops instead of their current numbers. The base curve is an especially
glaring example of this; as it is, very fine movements of the curve can
have drastic effects, which makes it very hard to do things with it.
I really think that working in stops would be much more amenable to
manipulation.
(I know, the zone module kind of does this. But the zone module doesn't
give you a 2D graph of the manipulations you're doing so you can really
understand them, and I find that that makes things tricky in a lot of
situations. I suppose I should experiment with the zone module and
parametric blends.)
