I agree with Paul, and would like to add that the Photoshop RAW converter can rebuild a bit of the highlight information as long as all three channels aren't completely blown. So, if you're only a little overexposed, chances are you've preserved a bit more detail in the shadows and may have a better overall exposure. It would be great if Pentax and the other camera companies would publish white papers with a little more info on how the histograms are generated. This is the kind information that is perfect for the support side of their web sites. See you later, gs <http://georgesphotos.net>
