Glad to hear it Darcy - enjoy!

Thanks J.D. - Glad they're helping, and don't worry - there's lots more to come!

@@Paulreiffer - Cool!

Exactly! Not only the “how” but more importantly the “why”!

Cool! - They're actually both very important, and easy once explained (I guess, as with all things in life!)

Aww - thanks Dan - Glad it was helpful!

Glad I could help Andy!

Ha ha! There’s a reason every tool exists 😉👍

Great to hear Richard - and don't worry, more on the way ;-)

Thanks Diane, more to come - and maybe catch you at our live sessions!

Nice use of the pointer read-out Thomas! Hopefully they’ll all come out better than they would have done 11 years ago! 👍😎

Glad it was helpful Michael!

Yeah - it's not there yet, but I can see the list of people asking for that feature growing...! :-) Of course - you can still compare variants - check out the Before/After video in Pro Tips, as it also shows how to do that.

So the way I personally look at it, it's a good "quick check" for the overall exposure - but it's a very basic indicator, and with time, you'll be able to see just as quickly by taking a glance at the histogram. Remember, the exposure evaluation tool will always show the input metering, and is unaffected by adjustments. Same with the histogram shown in Levels and Curves palettes - so they can all be used as a guide to how much latitude there is in the image, and disclose more detail than the evaluation alone. (Example: 90% of image sits in the shadows, 10% at 254. The evaluation tool will show underexposed, but you don't actually have any room to push to the right, due to that 10% already sat in the top end.)

Other then for editing notes in annotations, or watermarks on export - there's not really a way to add text in a raw editing system...

Glad to hear it Rich! :-)

Well, technically, the second any of the channels hits 255 you're losing *some* data - regardless of whether it's affected all of them - so it does make sense.

Hi Armin, If it helps (sometimes the written form is easier?) - there should be the option for subtitles on the bottom of the stream? They're not 100% accurate, but can help when I use some words too fast.. (sorry!) On sliders, I'm not quite sure what you mean, but yes - the values that can be changed are held in Preferences. (Not all tools have variables that can be set). For exposure warning - mostly because it's a representation of if the *output* is over-exposed, and only one or more of the channels. So, for example, if I shoot a blue illuminated sign at night (correctly) - it'd potentially be maybe R30, G40, B255. Is it "over exposed"? Nope - and especially not if my camera raw data actually allows me to drag that down to 253/254 etc. But the warning would cover that area. So for me, it's a guide - but not essential - and if people rely on it too much, they might make some bad decisions. It's always there as an option to enable, but just like the focus mask - it's an assistant/guide, not really a tool? Of course, that's just my opinion - others may disagree! ;-)

@@Paulreiffer Hi Paul, thank you for your ultrafast answere! I use the default settings for the exposure and can handle them. I would only have been interested in why C1 did not tick the depth warning by default. The second possibility to activate the target tone values ​​for RGB channel and separately red, green-blue channel or not is not clear to me either. But if even C1 and you don't activate that by default, I can live with it. Thank you again for your effort and continue to have great videos.

So on the separate RGB for Levels - there's a reason. In many photos, the separation can be a good thing (where the RGB levels are *broadly* similar...) But for others, it can result in huge colour-shifts, if you Auto-Levels based on independent R G and B values. So the default of RGB combined is "safer" - to not shift any one channel more than the others. (But, as you know, you can switch to the individual channels if you're happy with that too)

The "Levels" histogram shows you your input values (from raw - it doesn't react to any changes you make). The upper "Histogram" tab is showing your *output* values (so, the result of all your changes). You need to compare both to do it right, and make sure the output is correctly exposed :-)

Paul Reiffer - Photographer Got it. What a gift these videos are!!! Best out there.

Yup, depending on what image you’re talking about, either an iQ3/100 Trichromatic or the iQ4/150MP 👍

Hi Captain Jack, I hadn't intended to include it, but no harm in doing so - if you check the description of the video now, you'll see a WeTransfer link to the file :-)

@@Paulreiffer Thank you very much! I tried googling for it but failed. 😄

Ah, yeah - it's one I pulled together quickly in Photoshop :-)
