    That when I get a perfect exposure reading from my camera and load the .raw into photoshop and press 'Auto', the software always increases the exposure?

    I assume that by "perfect exposure reading" you mean no blown highlight/shadows?

    The auto function will, I think, try to find a mid grey which will give a ditribution curve where the majority of the photo is near the centre of the curve, similar to what your camera would do if you were using matrix metering mode. This is not always what you actually want, so I would suggest to just adjust manually to a level where you are happy with it.

    Not sure why it's always increasing it - it might be that you naturally tend towards darker images.

    Thanks

    I mean the in-camera light metre shows a perfect exposure reading.
