[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 369602, member: 12496"] You are not saying you cannot see any difference in +1 and -1 compensation? It obviously should be a large difference, I'd say relatively huge. Two thoughts: Are you letting Lightroom do automatic adjustment? So that you never see what came out of the camera? IMO, that is really not the way to ever learn anything about exposure. Compensation affects metered exposures. If in camera manual mode M, it doesn't do anything - it does change the meter reading, but it cannot change manual exposure settings from what you have set (exception is with Auto ISO, which can change ISO for the new meter reading). I cannot think of any other possibilities. But upon rethinking it, I think you are saying that Raw can modify the exposure one stop without issue. I would agree with that. Obviously clipping ought to be avoided, but depending what it is, we can suffer a little without big problems. As to boosting underexposure, that is essentially all higher ISO does too. [/QUOTE]
