Objective
Enhance the Curve View in the Dynamics Editor and Curves Filter.
Design Revisions
| Revision | Current Design | Issues | Changes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Grid Line Visibility | See the Curves Filter or Dynamics Curve graphs | Grid lines in the Curve View are not consistently visible across different background tones. | Added rendering modes to grid lines, ensuring consistent visibility regardless of the background tone. |
| 2. Coordinate Display Refinement | X, Y coordinate display in the Curve View | The current X, Y coordinate display uses block highlighting, which is visually obtrusive. | Refined the X, Y coordinate display to avoid block highlighting, improving user experience. |
| 3. Curve Point Visibility | Curve points in the Curve View | Curve points are difficult to see and select, especially on high-resolution displays (e.g., 4K). | Enhanced curve point visibility and selection, optimizing for 4K displays and ensuring ease of use. |
| 4. Shift-Key Curve Movement | Curve manipulation in the Curve View | No mechanism exists to move all curve points simultaneously, limiting flexibility in curve adjustments. | Added a new feature: holding the Shift key allows all curve points to move together, enabling global curve adjustments. |
Key Changes
Grid Line Visibility:
- Implemented rendering modes for grid lines, ensuring consistent visibility across various background tones in the Curve View.
Refined Coordinate Display:
- Redesigned the X, Y coordinate display to eliminate block highlighting, improving readability and reducing visual distraction.
Improved Curve Point Visibility:
- Enhanced the visibility and selection of curve points, particularly on high-resolution (e.g., 4K) displays, for a more accessible user experience.
Shift-Key Curve Movement:
- Introduced the ability to move all curve points simultaneously by holding down the Shift key, providing a quick and efficient way to adjust the entire curve.
Benefits
- Enhanced Usability: Consistent grid line visibility and refined coordinate displays make the Curve View easier to interpret and use.
- Optimized for High Resolution: Improved curve point visibility ensures seamless usability on 4K displays and beyond.
- Increased Flexibility: The new Shift-key feature allows for simultaneous movement of all curve points, enabling efficient global adjustments.
- Streamlined Workflows: These changes collectively improve the user experience, making the Dynamics Editor and Curves Filter more intuitive and flexible.
