Almost certainly so.

Nice test, but perhaps overly tough? I did say "most" shots, and my experience
in the desert is that the patches of deep
shade are small and fine detail in them generally unimportant to the image. Big
shaded areas, like shadows of big rocks,
etc., are at least partially lit by reflected light.

Easy to test; move, rename or erase an xml file, and open the image.

Complexity in the pursuit of capability is no vice?
