[PRODIG] Digital Zone System

[Denis Mortell]

Simply, the idea is to ensure the various subject brightness levels
reproduce as you intend, by making exposure & processing / printing a
measurable procedure.



I suppose you could argue that in digital photography, the process in
reversed: i.e. The Zone System is all about exposing for shadows and
developing for highlights. Correct?

With digital, if you follow the 'expose to the right' school of thought as
outlined here> http://luminous-landscape.com/tutorials/expose-right.shtml
you are exposing for the highlights (maximising them) and then dealing with
the shadows in processing.

Of course, you could argue that by pushing the highlights as far as they
will go, you are maximising shadow detail at the point of exposure.

OK, I'll shut up now! ;-)
