[QUOTE="aroy, post: 363547, member: 16090"] My friend's father was the official photographer to the President. He gave me insight to group photographs. For any group they would be using 8x10 or larger sizes, at times 16x20. The reason was that after the shoot, he would sit with the negative (or plate) on the light table with a loupe and start brushing it up. That way he would be correcting (or repainting) blinks, off centre tie or erasing any objectionable object. Same as what we do in Photoshop today. What is better today, is that apart from framing and direction of lights which must be done right in camera, modern sensors give you a much better DR to play with. I have noticed that in my D3300 and overexposure of 1EV and under exposure of upto 3EV is easily corrected. +2EV or -5EV can still give usable images. [/QUOTE]
