With CS4 (or maybe CS5) they changed the generic "Brightness and Contrast" tool in Photoshop, making it more sophisticated in how it altered, well, brightness and contrast. I suspect the same kind of change was made in Lightroom. It pisses me off, actually, because I'd quite like to have a real gamma slider in Lightroom... -- Mark Roberts - Photography & Multimedia www.robertstech.com -- 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.
