Hi Elle, You know I'm with you regarding giving users more control over how operations are performed, but tossing buttons for toggling between linear and perceptual everywhere in the UI is not a proper solution. It would be extremely confusing, and people would start toggling them randomly without knowing what exactly they are for, and only a few people would benefit from it. I think that allowing that would complicate the UI and the the tools themselves, as all of them should have both paths available. A better solution would probably have to wait until proper no-destructive editing is finally implemented, and operations are visualized as a stack/chain/whatever. I mean, instead of putting toggles on EVERYTHING, why not adding a tool that says "from this point, the following operation/s will be performed in linear/perceptual gamma"? People used to node-based UIs will understand exactly what I mean. The difference would be that only users who need the toggle will add an operation that makes the switch when it's required. The UI will remain lean, without extra options that could potentially confuse less advanced users.
