Marie-Noëlle .... I do understand the significant differences that occur in a 'film roll' but you may be surprised if you analyze your end product just how many of the same functions are used nearly every time in, for instance, a sun filled landscape situation. I would of course never apply exposure compensation this way. It is also possibly easier to turn off an item in the 'pipe' than having to search for a module.
I believe that my style application provides something substantially better than the optimum jpg that the camera could provide. This in itself is a great asset in evaluating my basic material and makes for a starting point in my end product processing.
