Still, I’m disappointed at how lazy the UI design of nearly all image editors is. They take off-the-shelf algorithms/models, implement them in code, and then slap a slider widget in for every parameter in the model. A big wall of sliders takes basically zero thought or effort from a UI design perspective, which is why it’s so popular, but other than being ubiquitous, it’s generally a mediocre UI in comparison to something that has had real thought put into it.
(But again, that’s nothing unique to this app. Adobe Lightroom takes the same lazy way out. Several of the tools that have been in Photoshop since before 1995 are a bit more powerful/flexible, but everything they’ve added in the past 20 years seems to follow the wall-of-sliders model. Some expensive professional video color grading applications are a bit better, but still nothing too special.)
