[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Chris, In further study, I find that most say that ETTR will give better shadow detail if the range of brightness does not exceed the range that the sensor can capture. I posted two examples today, one that shows highlight flare, and another that works fine. I'm still learning what works best for me.
