I use the histogram to avoid clipping the areas where I want detail. I don't care what it's called, I'm just trying to get as much highlight & shadow detail into the picture as possible. With the DMR I can pull a lot of detail out of the shadows but once highlights are clipped they're gone. Doug Herr Birdman of Sacramento http://www.wildlightphoto.com
