I forgot to mention, setting the white and black points are perhaps the most important adjustment, this can transform a nice but lacklustre image into a masterpiece (well almost!)  Your 'Sea of Mist' Tuscany landscape (which I can't find?) might fall into that category, I keep meaning to try processing it to improve the depth and clarity of the misty scene, which I feel has all the elements but they need developing. I am slightly put off because I will be processing an already processed JPEG and I doubt if I could get the best results from it. If you have an NEF of that scene I would love to have a go and see what I could do, I feel it has the potential to be a cracking good picture.

Both these options should give greater exposure priority to the subject....but are perhaps a little more tricky( certainly with spot metering) to get right when the subject is moving about. With a little practise they are easy to use. The hardest part is remembering to switch back to matrix when you've finished!

This is using selective Shadow adjustment in Affinity....but same method is there in Adobe and others products. Its better adjusting a raw file original.

It has to go! I have a small problem, When I upgraded my MacPro to Mojave, I didn't realise (because I only use it occasionally) but my Wacom tablet no longer works. I have updated the drivers and done what it says on the Wacom website to deal with the issue but the tablet does not seem to communicate with the screen pointer. In test mode it is reporting the co-ordinates, pen pressure and the button presses but they don't seem to be being recognised, or acted upon. I need to contact Wacom I guess. I am actually considering reverting the MacPro to High Sierra (if I can), given Mojave is the end of the road for the MacPro upgrades. I felt High Sierra was 'good enough' for my needs. I don't like the increased features of Mojave, I certainly don't need them on a workhorse machine.

That is a real warning about not upgrading to the latest. I have one laptop on Mojave but all the rest of my equipment is on prior versions e.g. High Sierra or El Capitan. The next version of MacOS Catalina will make the whole OS 64bit, which means that many of the old versions of softwares will cease to work. I will be buying a new MacMini to test software on (when funds permit) but having the latest version of the OS is not one of my priorities. I still think Snow Leopard was one of the best versions of OSX/MacOS.
