How do I use DPP's Tone Curve Assist?

I appreciate that one button click solutions are not the best way to handle things, but the Tone Curve Assist buttons in DPP 3.0.1 seem to do nothing but blow out the highlights and overexpose my shots.

At least in DPP 2 it would work somewhat well and you could make minor changes/tweakes to the curve it gave. In 3 it is totally useless.

Perhaps I am doing something wrong. Any ideas?

Are you aware that there are now two levels of assist in version 3.xxxx? Perhaps you are using the more aggressive of the two.

From the DPP help file ...........

Automatically Adjusting Brightness and Color (Tone Curve Assist)
[Brightness] and [COLOR] are automatically adjusted to create a desirable standard image. The degree of automatic adjustment can be selected from [Standard] or [High].


Click the desired Tone curve assist button.
The tone curve changes as adjusted.



Standard
Standard automatic adjustment. Suitable for most images.

High
Use when the effect achieved in standard automatic adjustment is not strong enough.

Reset automatic adjustment
Reverts the tone curve to the original settings.

Note:
If you click the [] button, the tone curve as well as the [COLOR tone] and [COLOR saturation] of the [RGB] tool palette revert to the default settings. Take care when adjusting the [COLOR tone] and [COLOR saturation] individually.


You can also adjust the tone curve by selecting the [Adjustment] menu ⇒ [Tone Curve Assist - Standard] or [Tone Curve Assist - High].

thank you for this information - I was having the same problem. So happy it's such a simple fix
