Be careful though because some in-camera digital adjustments (usually post exposure ones) degrade the captured images at least as bad as, and usally worse than PS. At least with PS you can check and undo any changes. The rule of thumb is not use any adjustment than is not available in RAW mode. On the other hand,iIn-camera adjustments, whether film or digital, are great for saving time if you shoot a lot of photos under the same lighting condition. (Shooting for a product catalog comes to mind, as I just did for www.axcelphotonics.com; all photos on that site came from me.) - Phong _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
