refresh "RIGHT NOW" button

Hello, sometimes, as the render is already running for some time, I need to re-adust the exposure, or burn, or Iso....

.... and sometimes, the small (mini) window does not show enough precision (not that it is not precise, but it is too small for busy scenes), so I usually tweak & wait the next refresh (10 min.), so my wish would be a "Refresh Right Now" little button....

in case someone already ask, please, destroy that thread Tom....

... this wish is not new here, but should be not forgetten. :wink:

Also it could be good, if the refresh work after the rendering is stoped. Some times I have stoped a rendering and in PS I have seen, that something could be better, but no way to change the MXI viewer output.

you're right Micha... re-exposing after stoping the render..... priceless...

although Maxwell would have to resave the render, because if you can open it in photoshop, that means the render you first open is the one Mxwell saved when you clicked stop... but I am sure it is possible, or maybe a special output format (like mxi) that we can open, re-expose, and resave for further enhancements... a bit like an hdr format...

possible..?

Good one Hervé! :)

And to add more cream ontop of that cake i'll throw in these suggestions aswell. Some of which been suggested before..

- RAW support from Maxwell (with baked channels/layers in the exported file) for quick and easy tweaking
- RAW Photoshop loader plugin for post editing of all stored parameters from Maxwell (read above)
- ..or a MXS loader/editor kinda thingy...
