IMO, though, a properly exposed image is still, ALWAYS, going to look better.It's a fact that when you expose to the left side of the histogram, you are going to get quite a bit more noise. Post processing for noise results in loss of sharpness. Blow out the exposure too far and you'll never get detail back. Again, a perfect exposure will most certainly result in the best final product. Still, we've come a long, long way from the days of slide film, which gave fantastic images, but had to be perfectly exposed to be usable at all.</blockquote>
