Hi John,

Still pondering (still using Halfsize to generate mini-me pics from my RAW DLs 
too), I'll have to test your theory, sounds likely which means that the in 
camera settings will reflect the in-camera histogram for RAW image capture. I 
usually set my contrast to minimum so I guess that's why it's been a little 
less misleading than it appears to have been for others?

Cheers,
