Dear Aurelien,

It's clear that you put a lot of thought into this and I am eager to try
it. It is very helpful to see the GUI screenshots, and based on those I
do have a few comments/questions:

1) Don't you think that the equalizer/local contrast module are more
similar to the sharpening module rather than the tone curve/fill light
module? Especially with the equalizer, part of it performs a very
similar effect to sharpening. I understand though that the algorithms
behind them might be different.

2) In your description of the correction tab, you say that after leaving
this tab, the image should look clean and dull. That makes sense -
though I am wondering how this works considering the automatic
application of the base curve? If the base curve is applied upon image
opening, the tones of the image look already pretty manipulated compared
to the dull-looking image without the base curve. In other words, it
seems as though having the base curve applied can already push the tones
in the image pretty far, leaving little room for colour balance
adjustments later on in the tone-modules tab.

I am just wondering how having a default base curve fits in with your
editing paradigm?

Sincerely,
Jason
