Have you ever captured a fleeting moment, then wished after the fact that you had bracketed exposures to capture the scene’s complete tonal range? Sometimes when light is changing rapidly, or when the subject is moving, you don’t have time to check the histogram. Failure to check the histogram may result in blown out highlights or blocked up shadows. One way to avoid these pitfalls is to bracket exposures. If bracketing isn’t an option, here’s a potential post-capture solution for controlling exposure.
Thanks to John Haines both for his Workbench suggestion and for providing today’s image.

I don’t seem to be able to play these great clips anymore
Quicktime just gives me errors?

Just letting you know, both photographs you used in Photoshop Workbench 196 were mine. I have been out of touch for a few weeks after my computer died.

I too do not like the new format. Sorry – I have enjoyed your excellent clips in the past but regret I likely won’t be able to view these anymore.

Sorry, but I think the new format is not an improvement. I downloaded,stored, enjoyed and learned a lot of your clips from the beginning, but on my Mac the quality is poor since I must look at them with VLC instead of QuickTime.
