Tools in a layer
Implemented
I am BEGGING YOU. Please add some indication (text color to orange?) as to which tools have been used in a given layer. Would be so helpful when coming back to a photo and selecting a layer to see what tools have been moved off default. PLEASE

I feel for the request to be successful, there should be more explanation of what the benefits of this feature would be.
I can see that it would help some to reverse engineer styles but to what end would one ever check which particular adjustments one has made before?
Isn't it always just a case of judging what the image needs and then making adjustments accordingly? One does not need to know what has been done already for that.

Nothing to do with styles. There are any number of ways to do something in COP. If I want to fine tune a picture a day later I want to see instantly what I used in a layer. Is it any number of sliders? Curves? Levels? I don't want to guess what I was thinking at the time. Usually its just an experiment that worked. I dont know why this isn't obvious.

Why do you need to reconstruct what you have done earlier?
If you want to tweak an image later, why not just use tools as you see fit, without being concerned what tools may be in use already?

I fully support this feature request wholeheartedly.
If I see an image needs a correction in the color department for example, I want to see, if I selected a layer or browse through the layers, whether or not and in which layer I have made local or background adjustments in white balsnce, color edotor, channel curves, color balance.
Similar for detail enhancements, clarity, noise, sharpening, film grain.
C1 always provides you the full set of tools you have configured, regardless of whether they were used / changed by you, the user. And in each layer you can adjust all tools available.
Photoshop, Affinity or similiar, on contrast, shows you immediately and directly only the adjustments you have actually made because in each of the layers you can usually only use 1 tool.
Hence, there is no need for such a feature in PS et. al., but the need (or benefit at least) for some C1 users should be obvious.
It is a fact that I often click around, open collapsed tools, select tabs within a tool ( e.g. the curve or levels channels) to see whether or not I have made adjustments there, and this is time consuming.

Alan, you might consider voting for this almost identical request, it might increase chances to be implemented if the same is not distributed over different requests.

B.O Done. Thanks.

Class A Not talking about reconstructing from scratch. I am talking about refining what I have already done and having a visual indication which tools in a layer have been used makes that a lot easier and quicker. Maybe you work differently.

I'm not talking about reconstruction from scratch either.
If I revisit an image (which I do quite often), I evaluate what it needs and then perform the necessary adjustment(s).
I don't care which adjustments I have used before. If I happen to use a tool that I haven't used before then perhaps that will do the trick. If I happen to need to make a correction to an adjustment I performed earlier, so be it.
I'm just missing how I'd use the information which tools I've used already to my benefit. Why would I confine any future refinements to an image to just changing parameters of tools that I already used before?I'm not arguing against your proposal; I'm just assuming that it may get more traction if you explain to others and the developers what the ultimate gain would be.

Yes Alan, he works differently. If he wouldn't, he would immediately understand our explanations. Btw, I don't hack styles, and those people who want have time. I edit and re-edit images and want to save time by easy finding the tools I have used.

Class A All well and good. For you. For me, when I start messing with a photo I have worked on before I dont want to make adjustments on top of adjustments already made before I see exactly what I did before. Especially with skin tones, which for me are a very tricky process, I may use several tools in a layer and frequently have no idea how I got there. Only when I see what tools I used in the layer can I even think about changing anything, even slightly.
