Well not quite I think . First if you just press the button twice you
will probably get the same result once again - so you have to tweak
curves. But, whereas in the darkroom the reasons for having to try
several times is very clear, I (as the initiator of this thread) dont
understand why in an all digital- workflow its not really
controllable. It has been at least a dozen times that I tweaked and
re- tweaked my correction curves in the last weeks, and I dont really
like when I dont understand why and how I have to change things. 

If you dont mind trying twice or 3 times before you get the result you
wish, thats fine, I 'd prefer not having to throw away half of my
prints (= sheets of photo paper).
