Default settings all too bright

As I try to get to grips with learning D5 I’m finding that by default everything is way too bright and I’m having to turn everything way down. For example, using the standard D5 midday HDRi I’m setting ‘Light’ to 0.1 and ‘Sunlight Intensity’ to 0.1 also, which makes me wonder under what circumstances people would use the higher settings - is it because I only do outdoor scenes that I have to turn it all down?

You can set the general effect of the environment through HDRI or geo-sky. Also try turning auto exposure off.

Hi Ryann, I’ve been changing all the settings trying to find the right kind of set up that I can save and keep using for landscape projects, but I just don’t understand why all the settings are so bright by default.
