*You said **I always work with the clipping indicators on *. I am hopefully not going to start something which I may regret, but working to clipping indicators is like painting by numbers. I used to do the same, but I now only occasionally turn them on. The clipping indicators can be adjusted to your own personal preferences, so their worth is all relative. The look is more important. Occasionally I will turn them on to see when the blacks or whites have reached my personally set clipping thresholds, but only rarely.
