Dear Malcolm and others
1/ I don't really understand why anyone would want to change the numbers at the processing stage. I do it later in PS CS after I have done the final edit. I line up the folders; edited processed files and RAW originals and make sure the bad RAWs have been deleted. I then renumber both folders using an extra 'R' to denote the RAW files.
2/ As a learning curve I suggest shooting some subjects where you know the colour is changing during the shoot. My first was a series of snow pictures taken from early morning through noon into late afternoon. By using the eye-dropper I was able to see the Colour temp shift throughout the day and learnt a lot as a result. More recently I did an aerial shoot. The Saturation and Contrast settings changed in exact relationship with height and distance.
Hope this helps

Another observation is that with CS I can make all the adjustmets I need
(calibration) for the target image and then save those settings so that they
can be applied to the other images in the set. Unfortunately there is no
option to batch process the images in CS and this was one (of many)
attractions in C1 Pro, although I have to say that C1 Pro falls short of
expectations in the calibration stakes. Having said that, it is clearly more
powerful in that you can use cutom profiles instead of a calibration
technique but who wants to set up a custom profile for each shoot? Again,
I'm probably missing something here.
Ah well, I guess I shall just have to persevere until I have a better
understanding of C1 Pro but (and it's another niggle) their help files are
not particularly comprehensive and don't do the product justice compared to
PS for instance.
