How do you folks deal with the dynamic range issue? I set all of the parameters to low - low contrast, low saturation, low sharpening. I'd rather do all of that in Photoshop and it's much easier to add than to subtract. There are a couple of ways to increase the dynamic range. You can take two photos, one light and one dark and combine them in Photoshop. You can use Fred Miranda's Dynamic Range increase action that you can buy for $8.50 http://www.fredmiranda.com/shopping/catalogue.php?cat=7 He's got lots of great actions for very cheap and they all work. I don't generally have too much of a problem with the dynamic range of the Digilux or Lumix, though. Metering off of something that is about Zone 5 helps.
