black on left/right

[mikemeister_admin]

I like my curves arranged as 'black on left". I have been going into the settings to change this, and actually I'm not sure why I've been having to do this more than once.  Does this setting stick? Could be I've changed it inadvertently somehow. Anyway, I just discovered the little diamond shape above the curve window that allows this view to toggle. Now I know what this is, I won't forget, but it didn't even occur to me it was a tool, because it is almost unnoticeable when all curves windows are showing. Not too important in the grand scheme here, but perhaps something to think about.
(much, much later :) )

It does stick, but only for one type of curve. For instance, you might want black on the left for Lab mode (curve rises as lightness increases), and black on the right for CMYK (curve rises as more ink is applied). So you need to make the settings for each colourspace.

Tidying up the GUI so these options are more specific (e.g. "Black on left for Lab mode") might make it a bit easier to understand. It puzzled me too, for a while.

Hey, thanks Derek. That's fine then. Nice to get these little details straightened out!

I've thought about making this more clear in the options dialog, perhaps with a pop-up for each color space.  Consider this priority bumped up a bit.
