I am confused by many more than 3 things. And you are certainly not alone. When I took Charlie Cramer's printing class several years ago, he basically said that the brightness slider moved the whole histogram and should not be touched! Since then I have done just that. Did you make it to the Evans' exhibit? I hope so; it was remarkable. Take care and keep posting!
