I have a problem during a sunset sequence in the city. It's hard to get both day (sunset) and night exposures correct.
In the beginning, both Highlight Ignore and SNR limit affect the brightness of a picture.
However, when night comes, it seems only SNR limit affect the brightness.
It matches the wiki: SNR has higher priority, but there comes a problem.
(I found that Shadow SNR didn't affect exposure as much as Midtone SNR. So I only discuss Midtone SNR below.)
With 5EV, it's ok at daytime (sunset), but too bright at night, inducing too much clips of city lights.
If I use 4EV instead, the clips are ok, but it's way too dark at daytime, even darker than a normal 0EV exposure.
City lights always have clips at night. If clips are too much, it's doomed. I can't control it now because of the priority.
I guess this can be solved if I can set Highlight Ignore with higher priority than SNR.
Is this conclusion correct? Or am I wrong on some points/settings which lead to the failure?
If the conclusion is correct, can you add a priority option on this? Thanks!
