Long post about what I want in Photomator. ONE is features I think are basic for a photo app. TWO is important add ons, and 3 is extra-special-bonus features. Feel free to make comments.

ONE
– Red and blue highlight/shadow warnings (every photo editing software out there has this).
– Scalable histogram (the histogram on MacOS is way too small).
– Pressure sensitivity for the iPad and tablet's like the Wacom Intuos Pro.
– Proper naming convention for WB, exposure etc. (why on earth is WB in % and not in kelvin?).
– Not sure how to explain this, but the histogram needs to reflect the overall photo with all the layers included in real time.
– Spots tool visualizer.
– Sliders to control the Apple's RAW processing.
– A shortcut for adjusting the brush size.

TWO
– More sharpening tools.
– Visualizer for what's being sharpened, like the edges.
– Vectorscope w/skin tone indicator.
– Face refinements tool for isolating the face/skin (AI?).
– Lens correction.
– RBG Parade and waveform.
– Custom crop in aspect ratios, not in pixels.

THREE
– More shortcuts, and this.
– Soft proofing/color space.
– Edit metadata: copyright etc.
– HDR histogram with added highlight indicators.
– HDR Ranges visualizer, similar to the highlight/shadow warnings.
– SDR Preview and Tone Mapping from HDR.

Thanks for listening.

+1 for:
-highlights/shadows clipping indication
-proper slider values (WB in Kelvin, exposure in stops, etc.)
-raw processing sliders
-luminance sharpening mask/visualizer
-lens corrections independent from apple's raw processing

I support Roadhouse's other requests even though they are not big things I need.


I would also add:
-camera matching color profiles (I shoot Fuji, I haven't had any luck with fuji film sim LUTs, can't find anything that comes close to in-camera or even adobe/capture one profiles).

Yup, white balance not in Kelvin is annoying me right now. I hope this will be changed soon.

A way to rearrange the tools. e.g. I like to use the Curves tool first so would have that at the top.
