Yes, but if you process for tungsten light you get one set of curves (with red further to the right) than if you process for flash (with blue further to the right), neither of which quite match what the raw data is doing. I was wondering if there was a set up you could use as a preset that would give you the native color balance. I actually haven't gotten far enough to see if you can even get histograms while doing raw to jpeg conversion. And, to be honest, if you had that preset, it would probably apply to the regular histogram anyways. I could also see advantages of getting the histogram of a small crop of the screen. For example, if you were photographing someone against a bright background that you didn't care if it was blown out, but you didn't want their face to be. I suppose it would be easier to just get a close up photo of their face and check the histogram of that. > Paul > On Mar 10, 2011, at 2:38 AM, Larry Colen wrote: > >> I'm reading Bourque's K-5 manual, that was recently mentioned on the list. >> I'm still at the beginning, the list of features that reads more like a >> sales brochure than anything else.
