Hi,
I cant believe that using the Quick develop WB and Tone Control feature is still not addressed by Adobe. It`s a crime against photographers!
I don`t want/need to go into the slow Develop Module!
I saw a post somewhere with this nice guy trying to answer Jaffe request from Adobe :
Add to API: LrDevelopController.quickDevelopAdjustImage smallDecrease and largeDecrease
He wrote:
> Some reverse engineering reveals how to use the photo:quickDevelop* methods to behave like the <<, <, >, and >> buttons in the Quick Develop panel.
photo:quickDevelopAdjustWhiteBalance ("Temperature", n)
photo:quickDevelopAdjustWhiteBalance ("Tint", n)
With n = -5 or 5, these settings increase or decrease the same amount as using the < and > buttons. With n = -20 and 20, they change the same amount as using the << and >> buttons.
photo:quickDevelopAdjustImage ("Exposure", n)
With n = -16.5 or 16.5, Exposure increases or decreases the same amount as using the < and > buttons. With n = -50 or 50, Exposure changes the same amount as using the << and >> buttons.
photo:quickDevelopAdjustImage (setting, n)
For "setting" equal to one of "Contrast", "Highlights", "Shadows", "Whites", "Blacks", "Clarity", and "Vibrance": With n = -5 or 5, the settings increase or decrease the same amount as using the < and > buttons. With n = -20 or 20, they change the same amount as using the << and >> buttons.
* * *
With all of these, when the settings reach their minimum or maximum value, further attempts to decrease or increase them leave them at the minimum/maximum, just like the <<, <, >, and >> buttons.
And of course, this should all be documented. " end of quote
Is this helpful? Can this feature be added finally ?
Please and Thank you
