        I don't think I knew that.  Wonderful, another calibration process
to learn - at what point does the histogram represent the raw file?  I think
HDR has some promise, but you have to be really careful to avoid a painterly
look.  For subjects that move, you are of course forced to use faux HDR,
i.e., the same raw file opened at different ev's.  It can sometimes enhance
the image with a light touch.  Photomatix has a trial copy.
