Levels/Curves like in PS/Gimp, useful or not?

[milkypailes]

Hey there,

I spent a couple of minutes in OpenCode to hack in a regular PS/Gimp style levels and curves control in order to be able to some final tweaking of the resulting colors. I'm trying to migrate from my old workflow of inverting and adjusting everything manually in PS, so I was really missing the ability to do this kind of adjustment directly in NegPy, without resorting to yet another tool after the export.

I know something similar exists already as described here, but it's just that I'm used to this form of control.

Could this still be useful to anyone?

Code is here:

I'm against having generic PS-like controls in NegPy. It defeats whole idea of modeling H&D curve that it was built around

I totally understand that, but how would I otherwise attempt to fix color shifts from expired film?

[marcinz606]

export as flat and use curves elsewhere

As I explained in my first post it would be a great opportunity to have an all-integrated solution, but it's ok if that's not what you're intending to do. And it's not so much about curves, more about levels, but nevermind, I will keep alive my fork in that case 😄
