So the histograms will only be similar in camera and post-bayer if the image is decoded with a similar colour balance, un adjusted levels/exposure and contrast settings.
Rob Studdert ========= Let me understand this. The histogram is based on the JPEG. So when I shoot RAW its histogram may not match the histogram I saw on the camera? The histogram has less relevance when shooting RAW? Won't it still show if there is some clipping at either end of the scale? I mean even with RAW some white or black information can't be recovered it was poorly exposed. It must have some general use. Marnie aka Doe
