Using Macro Formulas to Create Custom Dimming Curves

Would it be possible to use macro formulas to create custom dimming curves? Say that you have a LED fixture which at 128 DMX is way over 50% real-world intensity, would it be possible to create a equation that would even out the dimming curve of the fixture in the freestyler software?

No i dont think so...

But why use a Formula for this..

you can also use a Differnt Range 0% to 100% = Dmx value 0 to 255. (Normal)

or use a other Range 0% to 100% = Dmx value 0 to 200..
now FS will Output Dmx value 200 if the slider is set to 100%... and 50% = Dmx value 100..

But this only works on Intensitie channels/Dimmer..
With RGB will be a other story

I don't want to limit the dimmable range, I want to be able to put a curve on the dimming, to correct for a fixture not dimming linearly. Lower-end LED fixtures end up appearing at 75% intensity at DMX value 64.

yes but thats not the point..
its just one devolper and if he thinks its not necassary , it can take a while..
there are allot of Easy to fix features on the bug tracker..
