  • Softclip curves weaker in V9

    Posted by Sascha Haber on August 22, 2012 at 11:40 am

    Hi there,

    is it just me or are the Soft Clip curves not as powerful as they used to be ?
    It seems that if I use the gain control the same way as I did in 8, I have much less “power” in the softclips curve to effectively prevent the highlights from clipping.

    Hi Sascha – it should be just the same.

    If you have a project or frame which shows the problem, you know how to reach us!

    Regards,
    Rohit

    All right, I will make a test and see if I am just blinded by the light 😉

    weird. just checked and using UI, soft clip at 100 does not do much, but with Tangent Element panel, I can increase soft clip further – but UI stays at 100….
    or am I nuts?
    BTW testing with BMD cinema dng raw files!

    It just may be the case that ui is staying on 100 and element can manipulate it more
    as in software it is possible to press it more but ui prevents it.

    Sounds logical software engineering possibility to me.

    Yes, thats the problem.
    The UI is not going to 100% of the function.
    The Wave can easily double it, that what I am used too.

    Well, I think we found a bug here 🙂
