Bring back Curves

You have given us a bunch of simple tools.  And while you have used the math of a curve in the tools, you have also required me to use five tools to get the effect I could get in seconds with a curve.  Why not just let us have a curve tool in the color panel?  Simple and fast.  Most of the time, that is all I need for an adjustment.

As one of the first beta testers, I can confidently say you haven’t yet understood the massive difference in how this works, and how it is designed to be faster than the “ancient and approved tools from the dinosaur age”.

 

And yea, I’ve worked in Premiere and Resolve daily for a decade, and use a full Tangent Elements panel.

 

If you’ve noted, many of the tools combine at least two functions ... the Contrast tool is also a pivot tool. Simply click/drag and you can completely change the image with one mouse movement. Exposure is actually whites and black points. The Hue controls are all double action also, with horizontal movement setting a parameter like width affected or movement of the hues selected, and vertical is the amount of change.

 

Once you get that down it’s amazingly fast and incredibly powerful ... compared to anything I’ve ever used.

 

Also ... didn’t you notice that some of the hue and tonal tools give you a curve as the HUD? And those are vastly superior to any curves I’ve used, Pr, Ae, or Resolve ... as they have both click-drag of a selected point, but ... in the same action! ... by going left or righty you are moving a bezier curve to shape the change you’re making on both sides of the point.

 

So ... actaully, you do have curves. Just diffrerently accessed, and faster and more precise than before.

Everyone's mileage always varies ...
