Now why would you want to do such a thing as shoot in JPG and then hope to have The One Single Best Custom Curve that will fix all your Brightness and Contrast and Exposure problems ?

It can’t be done.

Shoot in RAW.

Or get a lower contrast than the -2 low contrast setting for both highlights and shadows then readjusting in PP. Or is this a moot point as RAW is RAW and nothing more can be achieved?
