Description of the new feature / enhancement
Love ability to use Lab color mode. I even discovered ability to zoom...very handy too.
But, suggest you give users ability/option to have NO decimal point accuracy. Instead have option to see rounded-off whole numbers...
for example: 75, -19, 16 instead of 75.37, -19.4, 15.7
Why? Because decimal accuracy rarely needed (but if desired, set option to see decimals) and when displayed as whole numbers it is far easier and faster to understand the colors. Decimals make our brains think/convert/interpret when it is not needed and adds confusion.
Thanks, Doug
Scenario when this would be used?
I use color sampling of on screen images (not already in Photoshop or other image program) to check colors and see if correct or if desired for future uses....very often every day,
And I use Lab as I know instantly the brightness and color (which you cannot do using RGB or other color spaces...because Lab separates colors from luminosity)
Accuracy to whole numbers is quite sufficient and much faster to "read" by the numbers.
Supporting information
Ask anyone who regularly uses Lab. Dan Margulis is the Lab master; see his books.
