I agree Todd and thanks for the clarification. Personally I am using Sigmoid now as my default and on most holiday snaps ignoring the module. It just seems to work well as a starting point. However, some images such as sunsets can be very tricky images and exploring the options of filmic including V5 or adjusting the skew slider within sigmoid is worth exploring.
The beauty about DT is that users can decide their own editing choices and not be forced down a single pathway. One of the major choices users must make is to use filmic (and which version) or Sigmoid. Sigmoid seems to have the easiest learning curve for new users in my opinion. Hopefully the OP will become another dedicated DT user. There is certainly lots of helpful advice to be found here on the forum.
