Thanks for the response, Rikk ... just tried that. Yea, it does lift things a bit ... but to get to where I was in "old", I've got to set "shadows" clear up to about +90 on this image ... and the 'auto-click' only moves it to +25, still leaving a real heavy dark featureless look on this image ... that was so quick to do with the old ... literally, was better on import after having set my defaults (including auto-black and camera profile to D2x-mode1) than it is after individually adjusting several things.
I've got to get this figured out or ... ain't no living I'll make here, I'll be spending hours on setting image tone ... clearly, I'm missing something ... Lr4 seems to dump things towards either end and stretch the middle ... NOT what I want it to do! Where am I going wrong?
