Hi all,<br><br>My name is Jon, and I'm here to volunteer to write some documentation.<br><br>I've
had a brief exchange of emails with Anders about it, and so I've seen
the existing, albeit old documentation. Writing documentation is
something I can do well, whereas coding isn't, which is why I choose
documentation writing as a way to contribute to open source projects. <br>
<br>I envisage the documentation being quite similar in format to what
currently exists. I have a few questions for the dev team about the
implementation:<br><br>- How do you want to present the documentation?<br> Will it accompany the software, and if so, in what format? <br>
Or will it be purely online, with a link from within rawstudio?<br><br>- I think it would be a good idea to get documentation prepared for 2.0, ready to release with that<br> When is 2.0 expected (roughly)?<br><br>Since
I'm introducing myself and offering my help, I may as well give my few
comments on the usability / features of rawstudio. Firstly, I think
rawstudio has some very good features:<br>
- It's very responsive<br>- Due to the usability it is easy to tweak images, and compare the effects<br>- The photographer's workflow is streamlined, the software does not get in the way<br><br>But I believe there are a couple of small usability issues:<br>
- The default behaviour of setting the white balance when the image is clicked is confusing<br> To conform to common practice, it would make sense to have this toggled with a button / keystroke<br>- Simple zooming<br> Currently only possible to zoom to 100%, or zoom to fit. <br>
Graduated zooming with (for example) CTRL+mouswheel is the common, and very quick and easy.<br> Clicking and dragging with the left mouse button when zoomed in should drag the image around.<br><br>The above comments are about usability and intuitiveness, this final one is my own personal feature request.<br>
- Reduce to B&W<br> It would be great to be able to reduce to black and white, and vary the RGB being used to do so.<br> This would allow photographers to, for example, produce a B&W image dominated by the red channel<br>
This is the equivalent of using lens filters, or DSLR lens filter effects.<br><br>All comments welcome.<br><br>Cheers<br><br>Jon :-)
