Hi Moose,
I admit that I have a lot to learn about exposure compensation. Sometimes I
get a histogram that looks ok to me, sometimes I don't. When adjusting the
RAW exposure, I usually have to move in a positive direction, but, at other
times, my initial exposure is very close.
I don't dwell on perfection. I just try to get close enough that I like it
for myself.
Thanks for looking, and for the kind words.
