I guess I'll have to do some tests, but observations, so far, would suggest that underexposing and then "pushing" in RIC increases contrast (same as film) BUT has little or no effect on noise (unlike film grain). So given a low contrast subject, a "one stop push" (sound familiar?) may produce a better file? I'm sure similar can be achieved in PhotoShop but I spend enough time at the computer with this goddam list!!!!!
