P: Allow to select/use Point Curve for Copy, Sync and Presets like in ACR.

In Adobe Camera RAW it is possible to select only the Point Curve to copy it to other photos and it is also possible to create presets ONLY with the Point Curve (in Lightroom such presets can only be created if you DIY)

 

This is a huge omission.

 

Please allow to use/select Point Curve when we copy/sync settings and when we create Preset in Lightroom.

Right now when you save a tone curve preset, it saves all 5 tone curves settings. I would like to be able to save presets that affect only the parametric curve, or only the point curve, or only one of the color curve. This would allow for more flexibility when using that module with presets. It means if you've already tweaked for example the point curve and you want to apply a preset that affects color tone curves and don't want to mess with what you've already done with the point curve, then you can. Now you would loose your tone curve edits.

In the same way it would be nice to be able select several type of curve for one preset, for example creating a preset that affect parametric curve and point curve, but not the color curve. Basically, in terms of UI it would mean instead of having one tick box in the save preset panel for tone curve, having 5 tick boxes for each 5 type of curve.

In combination with the preset amount slider feature, it would also allow to "fade" the effect of each curve separately.

It is now possible to select Parametric Curve and Point Curve and copy/sync them using the wonderful Plug-in "Copy Settings" by  @johnrellis 

 

Alas for Presets creation the only solution if one wants to have Point Curve only presets is to DIY.
