What’s the benefit then, Mark, of passing DNGs to Affinity - instead of 16-bit TIFFs ?

There is no difference that I know of John, they both work equally well, but that wasn’t the point. When I responded to Joan, I sensed(perhaps incorrectly) that she was requesting HDR and PANO merge in PL5 because she didn’t want to use her RAW files in AP(or another application) and then have to export a TIFF to PL for further processing, obviating PL’s exceptional RAW processing capabilities. I was merely pointing out that she could perform PL’s RAW processing(NR and Optical corrections) first then use the unique DNG “with NR and optical corrections only” to export to AP for the merge. 16-bit TIFF AFAIK will work equally well.
Here’s mine in no particular order …
Thanks for your feedback!

I agree, an improved Histogram would be great. Due to poor contrast it is very hard to read and therefore to work with. Would welcome a bigger (higher resolution) one too. Basically same goes for the Curves panel but to a lesser extent.
On Mac, if you don’t mind tinkering with the app bundle and want the larger PL3 histogram, you can copy the PL3 histogram palette to PL4
Thanks for the tip, but I prefer not to. I suspect it’ll break with every update?
Undoubtedly. Let’s just hope the next update fixes it permanently
Forgot to specify these:
Thanks for that tip, Jeff - I was not aware of that feature … and it’s instantaneous on my Win10 system.

My wish list, not necessarily everything for V5.
Apologies, should have said on MacOS. On my win 10 system its fast also.
75% view is often used but my relatively small 4:3 monitor forces me always to first click on a small white triangle in the right upper corner which opens then a 100%, 75% a.s.f. - table.
What about a shortcut F7 (unused yet) which simply leads to 75% view - such as it is already with F4 = 100%.
Should be easy to implement.
Thanks.
The most important features for me would be :
I would like to see the erase and clone tools enhanced. Luminar 4, for instance, has and AI erase and clone tool which is simple to use, very powerful, and does a great job. Saves steps many steps. When I get to the point that I want to remove an object from an image I have been moving the image to Luminar 4 and then exporting it back to dxo as a TIF file. I might do the same thing when I enhance a portrait, but not always.
That would certainly be welcome.
I would like:
Hi John
Sorry I missed this post earlier - I might be being a bit dim, but how do I do this please? Images addition order is the closest I can get, but that is not reliable. I think you must know a better way?
I look forward to a solution even if it is not perfect

I’m jealous when I see Lightroom’s color grading tool: essentially three HSL wheels, one for each shadow, mid tones and highlights.
Luminosity masks for local adjustments (in addition to the existing mask types) together with HSL tool for local adjustments could fit the same purpose and the masks would be applicable for even more use cases.
I’d like to have the ability to change the default hotkeys.
