manual nodes selection for exposure optimizer?

[Michał Kaczmarczyk]

Maybe there should be an option that control points/areas for exposure optimizer are not automatically selected, but manually selectable?
This should help when there are a lot of moving objects or parallax errors.

Yes, maybe.

By default the optimizer is using 200 points. Do you really want to set 200 points by hand?
Another solution is to use masks. Masked areas will be ignored by the optimizer, so this can achieved with existing tools.

[Michał Kaczmarczyk (michal-kaczmarczyk)]

5 manually selected points can be better than 200 automatically.
Masks could be a solution, if there would be a special kind of masks that only block selecting exposure optimization points, and do not block areas from appearing in the final image.
But even if the points were manually selected, they would not help for high level of picture noise, or fast mutating objects such as water.
Ideal solution would be manually selected areas which first would be averaged, and then compared.
