That's one solution. I don't always like what it does, I set cropping to the
whole image area, so that the extraneous
stuff that makes it go all over the place isn't included. I crop later in my
workflow.
Then I use Neutral, which spreads the histo to top and/or bottom, and set White
and/or Black Points to balance overall
brightness and clipping. I've learned a lot about ETTR doing that. It's amazing
what letting somewhere between 0.1 and
1% or so of the brightest pixels clip can do for some images. I can never see a
blown highlights effect, and you know
how picky I am about that, nor does it show up as a blip at the top of a PS
histo.

Ditto.
