This very short article by Ray Maxwell has been posted over on Luminous-Landscape.
<http://www.luminous-landscape.com/tutorials/right-hista.shtml> Most of us know that the histogram is not generated from the raw image, but from the embedded jpeg preview. We've often discussed that this can give you a slightly misleading indicator of your exposure. Maxwell suggests decreasing the contrast setting and describes how this can make the histogram reflect the exposure more accurately for raw shooter. I haven't tried it yet, but it sounds reasonable. I'd be curious to hear the results if anyone gets a chance to experiment before I do.
