Why use "default" settings > while there are so many possibilities to tweak the image in camera ? I agree that I could get the look I want by tweaking the camera settings. What I meant here with 'default' was 'the default DT gives me'.

They don't need more, and don't want more. Nothing wrong with that. But that's not a reason for *me* to limit myself to what the camera is willing to produce. I prefer getting the best possible exposure in camera, and then get the image I want while working on a decently sized screen, with better tools than a camera can give me Also, you took my reply out of it's context, which was a question about how to get the same image as the camera delivered. I just pointed out that, while reproducing the in-camera image might be a good starting point, it's not the aim of using RAW format, so he should not limit himself to that or get too fixated on that.
