As I said before, no "Automatic" adjustment mode works well for exposures that are not *mostly* average in my opinion.
The adjustments for some of my "Neighborhood Details" photos are pretty simple and Auto was pretty close. Others required more adjustment than Auto can do. I never use Auto in general. Sometimes I click on it to see what LR or ACR might do, but most of the time it's not of much use to me. I want to see the exposures I make with a set of 'zero' adjustments so I can compare them prior to any adjustment.
