57andrew Posted April 24, 2010 Share #21 Posted April 24, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) Don't ever judge exposure by just looking at the picture in the monitor. Check the histogram -- and for that purpose a plain brightness graph, not a RGB one, is best. The old non-chimp Forgive me, but why is plain brightness better than RGB? Thanks.

lars_bergquist Posted April 24, 2010 Share #22 Posted April 24, 2010 Forgive me, but why is plain brightness better than RGB? Thanks. Andrew Because it is less messy and thus quicker to read. Remember that the histogram is small. And the question of what colour you are overexposing in is not terribly relevant. It is general exposure you are interested in. The bandwidth of the human cognitive apparatus is very limited. Don't overload it. The old man from the Age of Paper and Steel Nibs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
