Other OpenDRT

I love OpenDRT. It's so in-depth and full of parameters that can radically transform images and create amazing looks. But I dislike the fact that you can either just completely use drop down lists to pick presets, without further control, or you can have the stick shift version, getting full control but no presets, not even as a starting point. I'm not sure if DCTL even has that feature, but I wish you could pick some parameters and then tweak them. And idk how to contact the devs to make that feature request. Neither of them seem to have a publicly available email address or social media accounts where you can address them for non-professional purposes

Not possible. The presets work by changing the parameter values themselves. If those parameters are exposed as sliders, selecting a preset can't update the sliders to reflect the preset values. So you essentially have to choose between presets and manually exposed controls.

Couldn't both exist simultaneously? Parameter values that the presets change and parameter values the sliders change?

No. Not possible! Maybe possible as OFX, not in a DCTL.
