- Q: What is the meaning of the name qtpfsgui?

- Q: What is the meaning of the various settings for tonemapping operator X?
- A: To answer precisely this question one would have to explain the inner workings of TMO X, in terms of the original research paper.
At the end of the day all that matters (to some people, at least) is to fiddle with the settings until you obtain a nice result.
- Q: Why can't qtpfsgui transfer the exif tags to TIFF files?
- A: Because the library qtpfsgui uses to perform this task (exiv2) doesn't support writing to tiff files yet. It's in the working, though.
- Q: Can we have the tonemapping dialog apply its settings as soon as the user changes a value? In other words, can we avoid having an "apply" button?
- A: Future plans include having a setting that enables the user to switch between the 2 modes.
