Hello, I use alot of dimmer chases with Bumps to White/other colors. Currently in Relative mode, RGB values can swing from +/- 125 of their current value. As an example, lets say we are in a Red Wash at 100% dimmer, We have a White Bump scene in flash mode. When we trigger the scene, in Relative, Red stays at 255, Blue and Green will move from their current value,0, up to a maximum of 125. We are missing 125 of avalible dimmer on those channels, resulting in a lack luster White Bump. If Relative mode would allow a maximum swing of +/- 255, we could utilize the full output of channels. I have found a somewhat work around using Saturation control, however Saturation does not respond to Relative Values, which causes some hic-ups.
Thanks for the great program and your time!

Re: Feature Request: + / - 255 in Relative mode
Hello!
Thanks for raising this point! I have a couple of follow up questions just so I can look further into this for you.
1) I would first like to understand exactly how you are setting up your 'bump' scenes so that I can test it myself. Perhaps you could send over your .dvc project, or it would be helpful if you could create a new project with 1 fixture in, add a few colour scenes, then in a new Bank create your 'bump' scenes (using both methods described in your message).
2) When you mention that Saturation does not respond to Relative values, I'm not sure exactly what you mean by this- so perhaps you could clarify more info on that?
Kind regards,
Will

Hi Will,
Thanks for the response! I have created a video demonstrating the setup, in an attempt to answer your questions, my words tend to fail as descriptors
. I have created a project as you advise, these scenes and banks are created exactly how my main project is setup.
I am not sure where to send this demo .dvc, please advise.

For anyone reading this unsure of how relative works, here is how it currently reacts to curves.
and here how, in my naive mind, curves would react to the higher limits.
Thank you again!
