When using tone mapping operators, there is an option for saving, loading, and editing default setting for each tone mapping operator. These default values are automatically loaded for each operator when it is selected becoming the initial values used to begin your fine tuning of the operator. Artizen comes with built-in default values for each operator that can be changed. Although the existing defaults values address many different types of HDR images, they can't address all. Now although users can create their own XMP meta files for each operator and each type of HDR image. This very useful and powerful feature can be very time consuming if you use the same type of photos, which use similar camera settings. This is the advantage of creating a custom default setting XMP file.

The Tone Mapping window has a "Auto Default" option, which is used to automatically update your existing settings for the currently selected tone mapping operator, once the Apply button is clicked. If you don't want to update your default values, ensure that the Auto Default checkbox is unchecked.
