Less effort needed in dt 3.2.1 to get a better image than the embedded JPEG. What do others do?

I am now on 3.2.1 and imported a fresh copy of a photo where the JPEG had made me put more effort in. I found that with Filmic RGB and exposure being applied automatically I had very little tweaking to do for me to prefer it over the embedded JPEG.

Same for me. In many images I only apply a preset (vibrance, sharpening, denoising, defringe and vibrance), tweak exposure, whitebalance and dynamic range and crop the image.

I use the development version 3.3 with filmic v4 which I find much superior and effective than filmic v3. Did your image in 1:20, and that’s slow because that new filmic version currently runs without using OpenCL.
