"Raw" highlights for dummies ?
Hi Judy and others,
I shoot raw files everyday using a Canon 1Dmark2 (fancy camera that I
didn't pay for) and I can promise you that it/I can still make lousy
pictures with burned out highlights if I'm not careful and sometimes
even when I am careful. It just seems to be part of the digital
territory.

I was grabbing people on the move, who kindly obliged by standing
still for a few moments, but circumstances didn't permit me to say
"that background is too sunny, would you please cross the street?"
I did, BTW, set the camera to "underexpose" about 1/3 stop. (Maybe
I should have done more.)
Those burnt-out backgrounds, and sometimes faces, or, oh misery,
white shirts, were the biggest problem. >
