Sorry if I'm late to this discussion, but I tried creating custom base curves for DR-400 shots using dt-curve-tool and analyzing a stack of similar DR-400 pictures, but I'm not happy with the result, seeing both noise artifacts in the shadows and a loss of color in the higher end, esp in the skin tones. Thanks for the pointer to the levels module. I will try that tonight. > > Possibly a standard setting in the 'zone system' would also be doable but > would probably be more fussy when making individual image adjustments. I played with zone system as well but didn't understand it well enough to get good results from it. Also, I've never liked the inaccuracy of dragging sliders and curves around.
