Joel's statement about not needing to shoot raw when you have a live
histogram is correct... but only if your intent is to replicate shooting
slide film. There are dozens of controls on ACR's conversion screens
and exposure is but one of them. When processing raw files (basically
everything I shoot) I probably deliberately set no less than 1/2 dozen
controls and for some as many as a dozen or more.
Perhaps this points to the source of the sometimes quite divergent views
on shooting raw. Not shooting raw and not having extensive control over
the development process would be quite constraining for me.
