P: RGB Parade and Vectorscope in Lightroom?

Hallo 🙂

Hat jemand eine Idee wie ich in Lightroom mit Scopes und Waves arbeiten kann? Diese zarte Histogramm ist quasi nichtsagend und aus Premiere usw. habe ich die Erfahrung gemacht, Farben sowie generelle Bearbeitung auf ein höheres Level zu heben mit Scopes und Waves. Kennt jemand einen 3. Anbieter oder hat sonstiges Tipps? Gibt es eine Alternative zu Adobe wo sowas integriert ist? ( Frage mich ernsthaft wieso es das in Lightroom nicht gibt, Rätselhaft ) 

Danke! 

The fact that there aren't "more people" on this is an objective indication of the Real World interest in it, among the majority of Lr users.

It's a super-niche feature that the vast majoriy of us clearly couldn't care less about: as usual, a vociferous minority think that because they want it, everybody else is bound to feel the same way.

Speaking as part of "everyone else" - we don't. 

Bitter little man, aren't you?

Yes! We need more people on this right now! 

Having used DaVinci Resolve in the last few years, i was mindblown that it had so much more advanced tools for working with color.

What i sometimes need (and miss in LR and PS) is a way to view RGB values in their spacial relation to the photo. It's great for quickly identifying and removing color casts/shifts, for example in old analog photo and negative scans.

Therefore, i gladly add my voice to the choir: Please add scopes to LR and PS, Adobe.

HDR image output has entered beta for Camera RAW in Bridge, which makes me assume (hope) that HDR image output is also on its way to Lightroom. Unfortunately the only scope available for image data is the histogram, and for HDR where NIT-values are more useful, an RGB waveform would be more useful to judge image brightness. Though, I also wish the waveform view to be compatible with SDR images.

Every year I look for a plugin or some way to get scopes I am used to using in professional color grading work into lightroom. Eevery year there is only the workaround of checking my exports in a color studio like resolve. Being able to switch out the histogram for an RGB waveform would be a GAME CHANGER.

1st and most obvious reason: Histograms are not an accurate scope for HSL work and as lightroom gets more tools to work with color, knowing the diference between 2 points too little and 2 points too much is becoming absolutely mission critical.

2nd: Color blind photographers and users without high end color accurate displays (basically everyone), but espeically the former have no built-in way of currently judging color other than by eye.

3rd: This would help balancing shots, replicating looks, and grading photos WAAAYYY easier.

If lightroom gets a waveform, it would be absolutely killer for photoshop to get one too, this would make roundtripping incredible for anyone who adds their extra pops in photoshop while doing the brunt of the heavy lifting in lightroom.

At some point in the future I will get on my knees and beg for this, until then I simple ask please Adobe, get us some good scopes, it's beyond time! 

Well that's true. A relatively easy way around that is to use OBS to show only a certain area, then display that stream on that other screen. Some monitors also let you crop the screen directly, and  Of course, then you're back to using your processor again. And you'll also be limited in color, where if you're outputting HDMI you might be able to output 10/12bit color. 

But then you are monitoring the whole screen (with the UI) not just the image area. 

Ha, at that cost, just buy a field monitor with a vector scope and have that duplicate your screen. You can buy one for $300, or a nice one for $700 and Then you have a nice field monitor in case you get into video content. As an added bonus, your computer doesn't have to calculate the vectorscope, which is pretty intensive (although in premiere it just got GPU acceleration)
And yes, field monitors are small, but you only need it for the scope, so that's no big deal.
