"Howard, I don't read anyone as advocating that anyone should carelessly or otherwise mis-expose any capture. To others posting on this thread in favor of intentionally overexposing RAW capture just to rescue it in post processing, are you the ones who love to spend lots of time on the computer, in order to justify shooting RAW?. " Let the snow fall where it may - adjust it to your satisfaction later it in the lightroom"?Įarlier: ". So, Juergen and Jacob, am I correct in assessing your comments that zone placement previsualization a la Ansel Adams is dead, and Raw capture is merely all about grabbing the absolutely most original scene dynamic range over noise as possible, and then we can whimsically place tone/chrome/zones in the output, according to our artistic satisfaction, as a separate step after capture?Īnd anyone who tweaks exposure during capture is shortcutting the Raw capture accuracy process for their own convenience, but they are compromising "total Raw capture accuracy" of their stored Raw?ĭo we have two different processes here to hit the same initial output target, the old film-way compromises revisiting the Raw after capture with as much flexibility as the new histogram-way because too many film-like decisions were made during capture, and therefor the resulting Raw is compromised, compared to a maximized Raw that can be uncompromisingly reinterpreted on demand any time after capture?
