[QUOTE="Fred Kingston_RIP, post: 465635, member: 10742"] Depending on how you have NX2 configured (I forget whether you can include/exclude sidecar files) ADL changes the tone curve. It reduces the highlights and increases the shadow details.... That may or may not be a good thing. Let's backup and talk about the the reasons for shooting RAW to begin with. Primary reason is, the user wants to control all aspects of the photo. I don't want any features turned on because any/all features are someone else's preconceived notion of what's supposed to happen. Secondary reason I shoot RAW is because I want what the lens/camera sees, and I don't want any changes made to that raw data... As my tastes change over time, I want to go back to the original raw data, and apply any changes I want... If the camera/software altered what was originally captured... I have to "undo" that before I can start... If I shot JPG, there's nothing to undo because data has been lost... I find myself, this week, revisiting landscapes that I shot in the last couple of years, and looking at LR's new Dehaze slider... [/QUOTE]
