It was mentioned before to adjust the 'output range' with regard to the 'contrast enhancement' to an image in photoshop/ corel photo paint BEFORE bringing it into maxwell.

My wish would be an option (a tick box or something) in Maxwell to internally adjust this to an image. Hope this makes sense.

I say this because it will avoid duplication of all existing images on the harddrive and it will save some time.

I agree with this. Some basic image editor capabilities (contrast, brightness, saturation, exposure, levels,...) in maxwell picker would be very useful.

You can do it with Tone mapping.

Buuuu (you change the whole render with that, not the textures)
