1- MASKS.
These would be very appreciated, especially for Premiere Pro, since in After Effects you can use the program masks. Even without tracking option we can a do a good job in Premiere with masks, because we have a lot of stable shots. Or if the mask is keyable we can make simple moves in Premiere. A ellipse mask would be great for a begin.
2- A Customizable workspace.
3- I would appreciate if the small triangle that change "Levels" could be a little bigger, so I can move them more easily.
4- It would be a good idea if the "Preview" in "Secondary" is not a dropdown menu, but is more like "Invert Selection" checkbox, so if we want to change preview from "none" to any other option it will be just a one click process, not a two click one.

Having more video tutorial for Color Finesse would be much appreciated, since the interface of Color Finesse (like all CC programs) intimidates most beginners, who also are not comfort with a plugin that opens in a separate window. (At least that was my experience at the beginning)
I know that there are some video tutorials and some good books out there, but CC is a highly visual process, and video tutorials would help more to break the ice between Color Finesse and most beginners (who know they already have the plug-in in After Effects, but have not made up their minds to give it a try.

Sometimes we need to analyze a certain part of the frame. Let's say I need to know precisely where skin tones lie in the vectorscope. If I am able to isolate the face only, I will see only the skin tones in the vectorscope (and other scopes also).
It's like "region of interest" in After Effects or Crop effect in Premiere.
Apple Color uses a zoom feature in Geometry room to achieve this. I select an area in the frame and that area is only showed in the scopes.

Thanks for all the suggestions.
Zooming and sampling in the VS are present in some of our other products, so it's likely they'll show up in Color Finesse. They're very handy features.
(Don't take lack of response to some of your other suggestions as an indication that we don't think they're good ideas. We're listening.)
