P: Slider Guardrails (Green/Yellow/Red Zones with Optional Resistance)

When editing, it’s easy to unintentionally push sliders into ranges that degrade image quality (e.g., overuse of clarity, dehaze, or contrast). I propose a user-configurable system where each slider includes two thresholds (warning and limit zones). As sliders approach these zones, visual feedback (color change) and optional resistance could guide users toward more natural results without removing creative control.

• Helps beginners avoid over-editing
• Reinforces good editing habits
• Improves consistency
• Still allows full manual override
• User presets for thresholds
• Toggle on/off
• Works with masks and global sliders
