Zone system implementation

Completed
Follow
Michel Givry

I need an implementation of Ansel Adams zone systems.
The purpose is to perfectly adjust the exposure and increase some micro and midtone contrast.

1- With something similar to the Exposure Warning, I would like to see below the histogram the 11 zones (from 0 to 10), click on it and see it on the image.

2- In addition, I would like to use it in the Luma Range feature. Instead of sliding the sliders, I would like to select one or several zones. For example, I can choose only zone 5. Or I can select a combination of zones (continuous or not), for example 3, 5 and 7 at the same time, and create the appropriate mask (so the luma range includes several zones). With this feature, I will be able to work on micro and midtone contrasts.

I hope this request will be added in a future release.

    Yes, please!!! Make this request happen!!!
    I did that the manual way with several layers, but it takes a lot of time...
    With that the luma range tool would be on another level and its possibilities would fare more appreciated. Also for colorgrading would be amazing to have that on a single click! This would also raise the interest for non-c1 users buying it.
    Something like this can easily be done in PS, but here in C1 you would be able to use the power of RAW.
    Thanks a lot for this request! :)

    I would like this feature, as an addition to the Luma Range tool. Perhaps the 10 zone buttons placed along the bottom of the Luma range tool to access the various ranges.

    If it would limit Luma ranges in any way, put it in separate tool.
