I have not even tried it on RAW files. Richard, I actually like Lightroom a lot, and would use it more if it were available or Linux. My travel machine is the linux based eeepc. The one effect I have not been able to duplicate in LR is the "detail" slider in the relight tool in LZ. Super local contrast enhancement. Thanks for the kind works about the blog. You know what they say about common sense...it would be a great thing if it were not so rare! FX,

It took me less than 2 minutes to turn your top Bosque image into one looking very similar to your bottom one, using the histogram sliders and the HSL box in the Develop module. In general, though, I love the good common sense photography advice in your blogs. Richard Hi,

LightZone is an amazing RAW converter and an excellent post-production piece of software. I am currently using Linux everywhere at home and LZ is MY converter. Steve, you are definitely right!
