Ondra, are these parameter saved inside the max files?
 I mean:  as now, when we open the max file ->F10 -> Rollout Exposure and color mapping ->  I can play with these setting.
Will we have the same behavior with these tools? Are the values saved in the max file?
In conclusion, we have two copies of the same parameter:  in the Renderer dialog and in the VFB.
When we change these parameters in the VFB, the same parameter will change then the rollout as well.

I think it's linked to the original color mapping section,  i don't think ondra will put this if you can't save it with max file.

yes, the two sets of spinners are fully synchronized

Are you planing to add things like chromatic aberration and lens effects ?

Button for region render inside buffer??
And it would be awesome to have a tool for selecting wich part of the image to render while you render (interactive tool)
A pause button would be a nice one too

Can we load in previously rendered images?

Pause funcionality is already there: corona settings->actions->resume last.

Can we load in previously rendered images?
Yes. Corona settings->actions->dump vfb/resume from dump

Excellent news! Now all we need is built in filmic color mapping ;)

I've decided not to do it for now, because it has rather complicated settings.

Tried it today and must say, i find it quite convenient to have color mapping controls directly in vfb. I like it!

Would you be ok to elaborate on your findings with it? Is it the holy grail of color mapping as it's made out to be?

No, it's not. If you have Nuke or Fusion, you can try it (http://"https://forum.corona-renderer.com/index.php/topic,1807.0.html"). It is pretty good though, but you can basically achieve the same thing by doing Reinhard tonemapping and then grading.

Maybe there's room for a saturation control too? Sometimes, all you need,  is ta add little bit of saturation, for completely dismiss photoshop. That's how good Corona is :]

Ondra, can you add a Color channel output? Thanks =)

Good and useable feature, but let's be honest, we all want a VFB+ rip-off with more refined interface and corona oriented controls like already implemented exposure and hopefully next coming vfb dumping/resumal/etc. or at least I really do :) Jokes aside some features found in VFB+ are really game changing and it would be really awesome if some analogues of them would be implemented in corona's one and of course, region render in corona's vfb is a must, it is really cumbersome to use both default and corona's vfb's at the same time just to have that function. But nevertheless that's a great addition as always :)

Keymaster, can you please make it possible to switch between each parameter using the TAB key? It's just ding-a-ding-ding now.
Also, it would be nice to be able to spin the spinners beyond your monitor's resolution like in other max's spinners.

Also, please make it use commas instead of dots. ( , instead of . )

Huge congrats !
every thing mich makes life easier is a great thing !

my 2 cents for White balance :
if a click on an area in the rendered image on an area wich "should" be white could correct the WB, will be usefull ;)
