HSL Keyer - Undo - bug / annoyance!
Posted: Wed Feb 03, 2021 3:13 pmSetup: Resolve 17 Public Beta (build 27 aka beta 8 on Windows 10 Pro 20H2)
TL;DR
When I use HSL Keyer in 'Picker+' control mode and overdo the area I wish to key out, I press Ctrl-Z to undo the 'over pick'. Trouble is, CTRL-Z also switches HSL Keyer control from 'Picker+' to 'Picker'. So when I next click on the green screen area, it all cancels and starts again. Please allow CTRL-Z to undo the previous pick but leave the picker mode at the current setting.

Loving Resolve 17 - especially with the Speed Editor!
I have to work with content from colleagues that is "homegrown" thanks to Covid restrictions.
In particular, I have to deal with green screens which are usually a large piece of a green sheet from discount online sellers hung creatively from the wall with creases and uneven light, and colleagues gesticulating wildly, throwing shadow shapes across the sheet.
All hail Resolve 17's HSL Keyer with which I can batter out the unevenness with great efficiency. Most of the time I want to use 'picker+' mode in HSL Keyer to click and drag over more and more of the green until it's mostly all gone, then a touch of the Matte Finesse controls to complete the effect.
Trouble is, I can accidentally overdo it and key out more than I want to - the colleague themselves, for example. However, a quick CTRL-Z/Undo recovers the situation.
However, CTRL-Z also switches HSL Keyer from 'Picker+' to 'Picker'. So when I next click on the green screen area, it all cancels and starts again if I don't remember to move the mouse over to the controls to restore to 'Picker+'.
Please allow CTRL-Z to undo the previous pick but NOT change the picker mode!
Thanks
