[QUOTE="hark, post: 738927, member: 13196"] The best way to explain it is to show you. Here is an image that had a great deal of sky in it. No adjustments were made other than to resize for the forum. Since I knew I had to raise my exposure - [I][B]when it's bright, go brighter[/B][/I] - I adjusted in camera for EV +1.3 stops. [ATTACH type="full" width="60%"]341911._xfImport[/ATTACH] So I took this same image into Camera RAW and lowered my exposure to -1.3 to simulate what the image would have looked like if I hadn't adjusted the exposure in camera (as if it was shot at EV 0). Can you see how much darker it is? That's because when a scene is very bright, the camera will want to lower the exposure to bring the brightness down to be halfway between white and black.
