I read the article carefully.
At first blush it seemed excessively hypothetical with little relevance to the real world limitations of camera use.
But he might be on to something - I'll try it and see what happens.
Originally posted by IchabodCrane what would be the correct set of default adjustments in PP?
I doubt there is any such thing especially when you are pushing the limits of a sensor. It's PP by the seat of the pants where you must trust your eye not some canned procedure.
My guess is it would be about the same as a ETTR exposure in RAW - Push up exposure until it looks roughly right than balance out low, mid and high tone as close as you can, bring it into Photoshop for a careful manual WB and then worry about a precise local tonal range that looks about right to your eye.
