[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 629760, member: 13090"] Okay, I see what you mean. I'm thinking we simply have very different shooting styles and different methodologies for processing. For instance, I rarely bracket unless the dynamic range of the scene demands it. I do check my histograms regularly, though, so I'm confident I'm getting the exposure I want out of the shot, knowing I can leverage the raw file significantly for exposure adjustments when processing. I do burst shoot on occasion but I think I typically am taking fewer shots, with three or four probably being the norm for me. Out that burst I'm typically looking the "THE" shot out of the whole sequence; the rest are deleted. As for wanting to try and apply the same look or feel of an old shot, taken weeks or months prior, to a more current shot I can tell from comparing the raw file to the .TIFF pretty much what I did from an aesthetic standpoint. My basic workflow is always the same: Tone, Color and Artistic effects (in that order). Tone means exposure and that's unique to every shot. Color means getting color correctly [I]balanced[/I] and that's not really subjective; whites need to be white and so forth. Once the color is correct I move on the the final stage, Artistic Effects. This, I think is at the heart of what you're referring to and when I want to duplicate the style of a particular shot I took some time ago to a new shot I compare the finished work (the .TIFF) to the original raw file. Based on that comparison I can gauge what was done to achieve the look in the finished image. No, I can't precisely duplicate the settings using the same exact numbers but in all honesty neither have I ever wanted to. Now if that's what you want to be able to do, well... That is a bit of a head-scratcher. I'm not sure how you could go about that other than by taking notes and creating some kind of "Processing Notes" file that you would store along side your finished image detailing the processing steps your took; maybe using NotePad or another text editor.
