I see others have questioned `EttL' given that EttR is the more common strategy for reasons of image quality. Whichever way you do it, however, it still leaves the offset to be applied. Notably the EXIF is complicated by what mode the camera was in at the time - by definition, Manual mode has no compensation, merely a difference of opinion between what you specified and what the camera thought of the settings. IME the exposure module is not the easiest/best way to go about fixing this; if you save a preset then it doesn't seem to remember that you pushed the `auto' checkbox so much as what the results of doing so were. How about you have a look at the global tonemapping module instead, particularly Drago with target=100. Make that the first tonal change you make and see what happens. ~Tim -- <http://soc.sty.nu/> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ LIMITED TIME SALE - Full Year of Microsoft Training For Just $49.99! 1,500+ hours of tutorials including VisualStudio 2012, Windows 8, SharePoint 2013, SQL 2012, MVC 4, more.
