I'm currently processing a set of party photos - some of which are a little underexposed as the batteries were fading as I was shooting.
Anyway, by using auto tone, then using Reset on the histogram, I'm getting an image that looks acceptable to me on the screen - hopefully acceptable to the customer when he gets his CD.
Trouble is, I'm not sure what I'm doing exactly. Can't find any reference to that reset option that I get when I right click on the hitstogram. What am I resetting? It's not the same as rest at the bottom of the panel in the develop pane.
And is there a better way of doing this?

In fact, that's the first time anyone's asked that question, and I hadn't spotted it either. But you're right, very neat. It just resets the sliders that are affected by the histogram - exposure, recovery, fill light and shadows.
