I have the same approach. I really like "easy to use, hard to master" tools in general.
If you look at CaptureOne you can see how easy it is to edit a raw image. Most of the time it looks like the camera jpeg without having to tune anything. But then you have the options to go in depth.
Sometimes I have a photo session where everything is to my liking, just a bit of exposure and crop. Other times I shoot in night clubs with no flash and I have multiple layers of masks for a single photo.
A UI with decent defaults goes a long way into making a complex app easy to use.
- strogonoff 1y agoThis tracks with my RawTherapee experience. I copy in base settings corresponding to the camera and the lens and then make tweaks. After a while often one of the pre-made profiles is good enough.

- strogonoff 1y agoBy “pre-made” I meant ones I have created previously, if that is what you mean.
- igouy 1y agoI simply try to make "a pleasing picture" and I was trying to find a way to suggest that I'm surprised by how often that seems to be Adobe Standard. I used to work the Exposure tab curves or Lab* adjustments but that no longer seems like a good use of my attention.
