Add "Smart" Contrast

Instead of standard contrast assuming a middle of 128, it would be great if CaptureOne also offered a smart contrast that would actually find the "median" in any given image and apply the contrast lightening and darkening from the specific median in each image vs a generic for all. It should be easy enough to analyze and image to find its median and apply from that as the center point for the contrast. Thank you!

Current workaround

I have to open each photo, find its median in tools that actually show it, like photoshop, then make my own curve centered on the median. This really shouldn't be that difficult to automate through image analysis.
