It's probably better explained here: http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/readflat.asp?forum=1036&thread=22957362&page=1 but what I get from there is that setting your white balance to 5000K will give you a histogram that is a fairly good representation of the data embedded in your RAW file, eventhough this histogram is produced based on a in-camera histogram (based on the jpeg - output) I haven't really bother trying it (so far so good with whatever I get with autoWB), I was really trying to understand what did Adam mean with "However its only truly useful for the RAW shooter as a good histogram delivers the best data, not necessarily the best looking JPEG." -- http://www.flickr.com/photos/ferand/ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
