Thanks again, Paul, for this and the other site/page you sent links to. Most of what’s discussed are things I’ve been using/doing. For the most part I’m familiar/comfortable with the effects achieved, but have had little sense of what the labels mean, what the actual underlying processes are. A few of the sliders I‘d never touched before, e.g., clarity, vibrance, saturation. I note that tastes are involved, that what makes for improvement and worsening is a personal matter, but also from discussions here that there is often significant agreement about what is lacking. Uncertain now that Lightroom does use Adobe Camera Raw. I’ll keep going back to these articles for a while to check and firm up my understanding. One thing that remains obscure that the articles didn’t address is the histogram. A question: Since the RAW file is not changed by edits, is it possible to keep an edit while doing a second one of the same RAW file? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Eric Weir Decatur, GA USA [email protected] "What does it mean...that the world is so beautiful?" - Mary Oliver -- 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.
