Probably doesnt need a thread but I've struggled with photo editing forever and this helped a lot recently.
Download a linear profile for your camera, and when loaded into LR, select it and boost exposure by 0.7, and now you're in a much cleaner slate for editing, and are seeing something extremely close to what the camera saw when it took the picture. Also the sliders dont fuck with each other nearly as much.
Its weird how much the Adobe profiles can absolutely nuke the dynamic range and colors on certain pictures, or why this would be "standard" on professional grade software.
