Thanks for posting your comparisons.

As always, it seems as though ACR/LR auto defaults aim for what I consider to be a cartoon-esque appearance (or at least heavily CGI-processed look) which I don't care for in the least.

There are good reasons to like ACR/LR, but to my taste, the auto defaults are definitely not one of them.


What he said !

Not to beat a dead horse, but in my experience, using a linear profile when converting from raw, generally recovers several stops of dynamic range recorded by the camera but discarded by the Adobe profiles. It's not a push-button approach, but when it really matters, it's nice to see what the sensor actually captured.
