Auto tone seriously blasts the levels way too high almost every time I use it. It seems to get the relationships between highlights/shadows/etc pretty well, but the overall exposure - no good. That being said, I've used it a few times to get a photo to a "starting point" when I'm not sure where to begin - but seriously, each time I click auto-tone I have to jump for the exposure slider to bring things back to reality. Is there some way that I can fine-tune what auto-tone does? Does it have anything to do with the fact that I shoot RAW? -Charles -- Charles Robinson - charl...@visi.com Minneapolis, MN http://charles.robinsontwins.org http://www.facebook.com/charles.robinson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
