Hi, new here, hoping this is the right way to submit a feature request.
Any possibility of adding proper scopes (at least an RGB Parade and Vectorscope) to some future version? I can’t even find the ubiquitous histogram available outside of some of the filters, but would prefer the much more informative RGB Parade and Vectorscope anyway (I almost never use a histogram unless it is the only tool a program has available).
Without tools like these it can be hard to accurately judge the color balance and exposure of an image objectively. I tried searching but did not find a similar request on the forum, which seems surprising to me.
RGB Parade seems like a pretty obvious feature to have, and I’ll add that to the list.
Vectorscope I’ve not seen before, and it looks pretty cool. I’ll also add it to the list, but no promises as to when that’ll be done (I have a very large feature request list).
As for getting the histogram outside of a filter - the zoom palette also has it, but I can see where it’d be super nice to have a general histogram as a palette as well.
An RGB Parade is useful for exposure, color balance, and to some degree saturation. A vectorscope largely ignores exposure and focuses on saturation and makes certain types of hue shifts rather easy to spot. In particular when a skin tone line is present it can show when hue is shifted in a close-up portrait as there is a strong trace at the hue of the skin which is rotated away from the skin tone line if the hue of the image is off, something that can be much harder to judge accurately using other types of scopes. To me the RGB Parade and vectorscope work together to provide the most useful information possible about the exposure and color accuracy of an image, each of them providing information that is not readily seen on the other.
