- Never - ever - use "auto tone".
- Avoid the blacks-slider (!) -> best set it to 0!
- also avoid the other non-linear sliders: fill light, recovery, brightness, contrast (you can use them to a small degree, but don't exagerate)
- use Exposure and the parametric tone curve instead of them (compensate blacks with shadows).
That should get you great results.
Please tell me your experiences!
