Correct answer Lee Jay

When i HAVEN'T adjusted a particular slider at all, it's default value is displayed (normally a zero). In the Lightroom options I would like to be able to toggle the display of these default values on and off, i.e display nothing there instead of the default value.

I like to check all my sliders for each picture after i have finished editing them, and find all those zeros a big distraction. Far better to have nothing displayed there if i haven't touched that slider.

An option to turn this on and off in the Lightroom options would be great (for me at least).

I'd be interested if anybody else agreed?

I disagree. The numbers should show the current setting, whatever that might be, even if the default is there and the default is still set at zero.

Was thinking more on the lines of

will it be more efficient
will there be less issues with bottlenecking, hyperthreading, waiting waiting
will it work better
will it be more streamlined
will the keywording be better
will the book option be tied into a company that does not exist in many countries in the world making shipping very expensive

I personally don't see the value in it as it presumes every slider should be adjusted and there are other ways of tagging where an image is in a workflow. That said, I'm all in favor of configurable user preferences as everyone's workflow is different. So long as it doesn't interfere with LR's operational performance which is 100% of my v5 wishlist. Pure performance enhancement in every aspect of use.

Interesting idea, though.

Not so sure about that part.

I prefer to think of it as:

A thoroughly scrutinized / optimized photo has at least had every aspect considered, whether adjusted or not, and a cheap and dirty way to have that reflected in the slider UI style would obviate the need to muck around with metadata & notes... for keeping track.

Honestly, this is such a small deal to me that I don't even know why I'm participating in this discussion about it...

But if Adobe did have some extra time on their hands, a way to condition UI of various adjustments to indicate status would be OK with me.

Bonus idea: condition UI section header to indicate whether all adjustments are zero, and if all zero, whether that has been given the scrutinizing editor's stamp of approval.

Definition of "condition" - display slightly differently, depending on...
