I will just share one experience as a photography and imaging tutor. I was teaching a new class of students with varying abilities to use DT. We opened an image using base curve as the starting point and made simple adjustments. We took a snapshot. We then reopened that image with no base curve or filmic applied. I taught the students how to create there own curve which they generally found better than the base curve. Finally we opened the image in Filmic V3 and with just a few simple tweaks 100% of the students preferred the look created by Filmic. Since then Filmic V4 and V5 has only made the job simpler. I can’t wait to try V6. I especially love the ability to adjust contrast without clipping the extreme highlights or shadows in V5. I also liked the improve saturation controls that came about in V4.
