There are also all kinds of arbitrary limits on when it will and will not change the size. Unnecessary and means I'm rotating when I want to crop. Moved from one of the best rotation implementations using a wedge to precisely align verticals/horizontals to something almost completely unusable.Ĭrop - incorporating rotation. Rotate - from powerful, exact tool to arbitrary and imprecise. here I'm going to focus on lost or missing stuff. Saves the interminable scroll bar work.Īs I'd mentioned before, Lightzone also has a bunch of problems. Zoom drag - a little icon in the corner highlights the zoomed portion and can be quickly dragged around. Return of the progress bar so I can actually tell if it's saving/exporting etc. Makes for easier tracking of what's been done without clicking through all the tools. Tool displays now have some nice indicators: a marker to show if there are regions applied, little "light-ups" to show if the blending mode or colour mapper has been changed. It's also nice to be able to collapse the panels. Also means I can set the main window to zoom-fit to actual print size for regular SLR shots which is nice. Variable panel size - enables the Zone map/histo window to be enlarged. it seems that zoom-fit now also a applies a small buffer around the image rather than butting it to the side panels. Zoom buttons - a small thing but it's nice to have the option. So much better than the ill-defined shadow/midtone blending options. Also has a feathering function for the tonal range applied so the results blend in nicely. Just one early use one of my favourite ways to use this is for colourising monochrome by letting the highlights run to white and the shadows to black. Thus, tone compression & mid tone contrast in one.Ĭolour masking - a very powerful control to limit the tonal or colour range over which a tool is applied. It also adds something like hiraloam sharpening for contrast, too. This is a really powerful tool and can, in some instances, replace bracketed and HDR blending. Compared to the ToneMapper, there is much improved shadow lifting together with better highlight recovery. There are things that warrant merit in the new version: Many of my opinions come from that experience. I do a lot of software testing as part of my regular job and work with both development and user communities in that role. I'm trying to be as objective as possible & will give reasoning as to my opinions where appropriate. I'm exclusively a windows user, this is based around my home XP Pro set-up (dual core 3GHZ, 2GB RAM). ![]() This is really an upgraders view, rather than a ground-up analysis. I've been a user of Lightzone since about v1.2, and currently use 2.4 as probably my main editor. ![]() When I perform "setChannelType 1 toggle" in execute-custom-command, it says "Error:CMD:cmd setChannelType 1 toggle NOT found (args ) " I'm puzzled with OpenBeken.WARNING: this is a looong post (and taken a week to put together).įollowing my earlier comments on Lightzone 3.1, I've taken a closer look at the new version.Ī bit of preamble first: these are my opinions based on using the tool and my deductions as to things going on. When I perform "startDriver TuyaMCU" in the Config -> execute custom command, I start to see TuyaMCU messages in the logs that seems like a good communication. DpId 20: Boolean Toggle On/Off DpId 21: (write only, not listed in cmd 0x08) Scene DpId 22: Global dimmer (0-1000) DpId 23: Colour temperature (0-1000) DpId 26: Weird field, Stays on 0, when set to 1, does a toggle of DpId 20, any other value doesn't do anything However this is a TuyaMCU device and following script in autoexec.bat doesn't work: startDriver TuyaMCU setChannelType 1 toggle setChannelType 2 dimmer tuyaMcu_setDimmerRange 0 1000 linkTuyaMCUOutputToChannel 20 1 1 linkTuyaMCUOutputToChannel 22 2 2 TuyaMCU isn't even started once the device is rebooted, so I suspect something is wrong. The documentation refered to the Melitec brand and then I found this, which looks identical: I have a second device like this that I have transplanted an ESP chip on it so that I can experiment with the handy and clean TuyaMCU commands of Tasmota. This device is sold at Aldi as a "LightZone" device. ![]() Melitec -CM D110 Ceiling Light I successfully flashed this device with OpenBeken using tuya-cloudcutter, teardown photos will follow.
