Auto-Matched Curve

It was not a problem just an observation for me that adding the tone curve from a DCP was not really like adding it as the automatch curve changes as well…someone was asking the result of doing so and I thought it imprortant to comment so I am not sure in the end how different the images are if the automatch curve becomes almost linear after adding the DCP curve…I would have to do some comparisons to be definitive…but merely I was just pointing out that the curves are not additive as the automatch curve does not keep its original shape when the DCP curve is added…this might affect the decision to try this or not or etc etc… so this just got me to thinking about asking how is was calculated because if it was merely using the jpg as a reference I would not have expected it to change and then the curves would have been additive which likely is not going to produce a great result anyway so it seems good that the automatch adapts if the DCP curve is added…
