Exactly. Precise exposure is just as important in digital photography as it is in film photography, even though it may be easier to disguise your mistakes. The best exposure for a RAW digital image can vary slightly from what might be best for film photography, just as ideal negative film exposure might be half a stop different than an ideal positive film exposure in some cases. Similarly, an ideal jpeg exposure in digital might differ slightly from an ideal RAW exposure in some cases. But in every case, exposure is important. And as with film, determining what works best for your style of shooting and workflow requires some testing. Paul
