WOW… at a Nikon class I was blown away by the Nik package in Aperature and this does the same thing. I am in awe of this feature.

Hey Matt,

It worked for me finally after reading your second email. The change is very,very slight. I also noticed that once you click on the picture and start to scroll, there is a number that appears on the curve and it increases or decreases depending on which way you scroll! That makes it easier to see what is happening!

Thanks again! Oh, just to make you all feel better that live in Florida … We had a very white Christmas here in Parker, CO … 8-inches of wonderful snow!

Take care

Dennis

Hey Matt,

This is an off topic question.

I’m looking to get a Mac laptop. I do a lot of photography & graphic arts for clients. I’m looking at the Mac Book Pro 17in. $$$$$!

What do you use & recommend?

Okay, partial functionality. Looking at this though, it’s more work to do it this way. Two or more clicks, move the mouse, maybe it works, maybe it doesn’t. Much more simple to just grab the slider and move it. Since all the sliders are grouped in the same area, it seems like more of a Gee-Wiz thing than anything that useful.

In Windows it takes a lot of wheel action to make a change.

Another technique is to hover over the area with the TAT and use the up and down arrow keys on the keyboard to shift in even increments. Up arrow – slider right (plus), down arrow – slider left (minus). This works on all sliders that are hovered over, the value cell will highlight when hover-selected. Click and drag the sliders to rough-in the setting, up and down arrow to fine tune. The step value is different from slider to slider, not sure I always agrees with it.

Happy Holidays

I have XP and found that the scroll wheel/TAT tip does work. However, with my Wacom mouse it took numerous revolutions of the wheel to make even subtle change, as opposed to my Microsoft Intellimouse which took much less. However it was still was subtle. Outside Lightroom, it doesn’t take much movement of the scroll wheel to scroll. Anyway, for those having trouble you may want to experiment with your mouse properties.

Works great on Mac 10.5 with V1.3.1. Have a Happy Holiday and thanks.

Hey everyone,
Just to clarify. You’ve got to first click on the TAT to select it. Then you’ve got to move your cursor over the image just like you would normally do if you were using the TAT. Finally, once it’s over the image the scroll should work.
(testing on LR 1.3.1 on Mac and PC).

Also, thanks for the Christmas wishes!

Mac Pro OSX, doesn’t work on my system. It just moves the entire pane up and down. Must have something to do with configuring the mouse actions on the OS. Works fine though with CS3 (in most areas)
