Hey Christian

I finally put book one back on the shelf to replace with the new version. Mind if I ask a few questions?

I was reading on page 184, regarding Lightroom 4 Update:

"In particular,the Exposure value must be −1 EV and the Contrast value −40... that’s the best equivalent of what were the zero settings before."

Do you know if this is also the case in Photoshop Adobe RAW converter? I'm using ver 6.7 with CS5.

Also - if I've created a colour profile with a XRite colour checker. Should this be applied under the profiles tab during RAW conversion?

And by doing this, am I essentially doing a less robust version of the camera profile acquisition in which you did using brackets on page 170?

Or does this still need to be done during the HDR merge stage?

Note: I'm learning how to calibrate my HDRs for IBL and scene reconstruction.

Thanks

Dave
