New film-like tone mapping curves - tests/feedback needed

Well, today I’m at home due to a bad conjunctivitis, a good opportunity to exercise free time. Besides, you asked for tests, so here’s another one. :wink:
Basically, it’s amazing how quickly you can get excellent results.
This one comes from thread Cannot get close to JPG from Sony Alpha 6000.
I just did White Balance, Dynamic Range Compressor (default values), Tone Mapping (linear+log)), a curve to boost the mid tones and another one just to darken the shadows
I did this edit without comparing to any other image (except the last curve). To my surprise, in the end, the result was much closer to the camera jpg, and to the DxO version (which I find one of the best in that thread, considering what the main goal was).

The only thing I couldn’t tackle was noise reduction - and the last curve somehow hides noise in the shadows.

@Carmelo_DrRaw The tm curve doesn’t seem to refresh anymore with this late version.
