Hi Barry: As a full-time Lightroom user, I'd say it's a matter of taste.
Go nuts! Go crazy! :-). Also, check your monitor against some
prints/contact sheets if you have printing capability at home. Lightroom
lets you print contact sheets as you probably already know. Cheers,
Christine

Subject: Tone Curve in Lightroom
Hey Folks,
I use Lightroom to develop my digital images. While white balance,
exposure,
recovery, and fill light are relatively straightforward, I've got
questions
about the "Blacks" setting and the Tone Curve's
higlights/lights/darks/shadows settings.
I shoot plants. Before I switched to digital, I used Velvia pretty much
exclusively, which means I have a color sense about as extreme as a junior
high school girl applying eye makeup.
Are there any guides as to when the tone correction is too much? Sometimes
I'm applying +-15 to the highlights and darks. Is this too much, or it is
just a matter of taste?
Barry
