It is interesting that I gave similar advice to an image for C&C poster in the Pentax List on DPReview.
This got me an immediate strong admonishment from another person who apparently liked the flat image and who told me that this may well have been the artistic intent of the OP and that the advice I gave was poor. You can't win in being honest and constructive with some people :)) Rod -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ken Waller > What's white balance? Better called white point. I was referring to looking @ the image's histogram in levels & ensuring the whitest white in the image was @ the far RH portion of the histogram without blowing out the details (clipping) & also ensuring the blackest black (shadow detail) in the image was @ the far LH portion. In levels, holding the alt/option key gives you a clipping preview as you adjust the white point slider. Using the alt/option key, while adjusting the black point slider shows you where you're losing shadow detail in the image.
