Thanks for taking the time to reread and clarify Paul, and to whoever posted
the white paper link.

Subject: RE: Great Camera Raw Article in Photoshop User

I reread all of those adobe docs. There's some very good information in
them. "A Color Managed Raw Workflow" provides a good plan for setting up a
printing output workflow. "Highlight Recovery in Adobe Camera Raw"
illustrates an interesting technique for combining two different Raw
conversions to deal with extreme circumstances, and "Digital Workflow for
Raw Processing" provides a nice overview of the Raw Conversion process. But
none of them provide a clear example of how to work with the various Raw
Converter adjustments to optimize a given file. The article does exactly
that. The inter-relationship of shadow, contrast, brightness and exposure
is clearly illustrated in the magazine piece. It's also nicely explained in
Bruce's book. But it's not covered in depth in the Adobe papers.
