Suggestion for Black/White split background colour

Hi this is Tak, it's only been about a year since I started using CapOne and I'm really in love with this.

One thing that came up my mind while I was editing photos on my mobile laptop setup with various environment light, I thought it'd be awesome to have a split black and white background added to background colour options instead of pressing Shift 1 and 6 to switch the background.

It'd be cool to have B/W left and right, right and left, top and bottom and bottom and top, like 4 ways.

Shown is left/right horizontal split

What problem do you see this solving?

No longer have to switch the background colour all the time while editing.

Also would help when working on mobile setup with random environment light.

When was the last time you were affected by this lack of functionality, or specific tool?

I had to work on my laptop outdoor in daylight and the developed image looked way overexposed in correction.

Using histogram is one way, but thought split background would also help.

Current workaround

Are you using any workarounds or other solutions to achieve your goals in Capture One?

Just constantly switching between white and black background. Also referring histogram.

    No problem. The template doesn't appear on mobile and it's something that we need to fix.

    Hi, just updated the original post. I originally uploaded from my phone and did not see the template!
