I love this program I’ve used it for 1-2 years with some of the best results I’ve had.

I wish we could adjust the portion of the histogram that falls into each of the highlight/midtone/shadow buckets in regards to color correction on the Edit tab. I find the color correction settings in the plugin surprisingly robust so I use them everytime but sometimes attempting to color correct just the highlights really dips into the midtone section, etc. If there was a way to narrow/expand the ‘band’ in each histogram bucket it would really improve color correction.

I develop all my film at home which is sometimes fraught with color correction nightmares so this fine tuning would REALLY improve workflow.

Hi!

Have you seen [Negative Lab Pro version 2.2?](https://forums.negativelabpro.com/t/negative-lab-pro-v2-2-the-next-level-of-color-tone-control/2513)

It already has the feature you are talking about.
