Lightroom does have an auto tone setting that you can use on import. Try it to see if you like it. Sometimes it is too strong, but it is better than the flat tone default.

so which software do you usually use now? Any recommendations? Thanks!

Thank you, too for bringing me such a fantastic news! The only problem: Do I need to purchase again to get 2.0, or I can just download and upgrade? Thank you very much!

You should be able to install the upgrade. It looks like it's compatible with ACR4.5, so if you get that, it should work fine for you.

I've read a lot today, it turned out that they only support Canon and Nikon right now... Sad truth...

2. Drawbacks of PLL: The Preview window can not be enlarged, thus it is extremely difficult to use it as a processing software, any ideas to improve this?

I can resize it up to full screen by dragging the corner.

3. There seems to be no difference between Landscape and Picture (Landscape), but why are they two different image-tone as listed in PLL?

I have only used "natural".

4. PLL tends to generate a EXIF item called Component Config, and the value is YCbcr, what does this mean?

I've never seen that. I save the Exif list generated in PPB. To me, only a few exif values have any meaning once the image is processed.
