jwillyf Posted April 16, 2019 Share #1 Posted April 16, 2019 Advertisement (gone after registration) I was curious to check the relationship between highlight clipping showing in camera against that showing in Lightroom. I took three shots of the same scene, one exposed with no highlight clipping, one with a stop more exposure showing highlight clipping in some of the sky, and one with two stops more exposure, showing highlight clipping in all of the sky. In Lightroom Classic, only the two stop exposure showed highlight clipping, suggesting that I can ignore the warning of small areas of highlight clipping and still preserve highlight detail. Do forum members agree? Also, how useful do members find the light scale at the bottom of the screen display as a guide to exposure. It has the slight advantage of remaining in view when the shutter release is half pressed, whereas the histogram disappears. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes—I have certainly found that to be the case with DNG files from the Q2 processed in Capture One 12. Stephen Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted April 16, 2019 Share #3 Posted April 16, 2019 In the camera, the clipping is taken from the JPG histogram, in Lightroom fron the raw data. That makes a difference. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwillyf Posted April 16, 2019 Author Share #4 Posted April 16, 2019 Does the histogram represent the raw file or jpeg? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jwillyf Posted April 16, 2019 Author Share #6 Posted April 16, 2019 So if recording only in DNG, the highlight clipping warning and histogram will tend to favour under exposure by perhaps a stop? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
