[HUG ] Re: IMG: Triptych

Yes I'm learning from this exchange a file does not have to be a NEF to be a
raw file it can be a number of other things. Jim mentioned it in respect to
his scanners.

The main issue is that the camera is not stripping away any information you
can decide on the exact whitepoint later without walking round making white
point tests.
To me this is a main reason to shoot digital.
And the beauty of the Raw filter interface when you open an image in an
Adobe program is what I'm familiar with.
There's very little I tend to need to do afterwards expect tweak a few
selections I make with the gradations too in selections mode.
In other words dodging and burning. And tweaking the sharpening.
