Best screen resolution for RAW files

[Chan Tran]

I try to shoot a bright scene by locking in the exposure at its brightest then recomposing using a + 1.7 -+2.3 EV compensation…

Actually my comment related to raw to jpeg conversion. At about 2.3EV above the meter reading the highlight would burn out in the jpeg. The raw can record 2/3 or 1 stop above that.

I got it from here…

I have a harder time recovering highlights that were burned than shadows being under exposed …

It could be the software you are using.

Are you meaning the software that came with the now obsolete non upgradable 2015 Mac desktop…

 

[Nikon 2]

My obsolete Mac desktop forces me to be a better photographer…

 

[BrianShaw]

I would hope that good subjects and lighting would force you to be a better photographer.

Yes, but the obsolete software I’m using doesn’t give me any room for poor exposure in post…

Not to mention the MD 262 having no “screen”, excuse the irony, helps with accomplishing the better photographer in its analogue form…

Was that translated from another language, because it makes no sense.

I’m sorry that you can’t understand some basic principles of photography. But be patient and you’ll get the hang of it…

Not at this rate.

I have only one computer monitor for my Mac computer and it is a nice large size. I do my editing on that computer and that screen. I am not going to testing and buying one screen after another searching for the mythical better or perfect screen. I would rather spend my time and money with the lenses that I have collected and still use.

Totally agree…

What I was trying to convey, the Leica MD 262 is a digital camera with an analog soul.
I’ve been shooting film for over thirty years and never liked digital because of the “screen”, pun considered, so when I found out Leica created a digital camera that shoots like a film camera I couldn’t resist. I haven’t looked back since…

 

[Sirius Glass]

Totally agree…

Nice to see that someone agrees with me.

a digital camera with an analog soul.

Is the version of "analog soul" firmware upgradable, though?

It’s a mindset! Once you experience the version it automatically upgrades itself in use, a living soul…

Nice to see that someone agrees with me.

Again, I totally agree…

Oh, that's grand.
Have you asked the thing to just output great colors every time for you, regardless of what monitors are out there in the world? Sounds like it should be able to do that, automatically, provided you have the right mindset.

No need, the camera knows what it’s doing! The “living soul” has living color…

Calibration affects the reproduction of HUES on a monitor, but does not correct inherent BRIGHTNESS. On my monitor, your image originally posted appeared a bit dark...the sky was lower in intensity than I would ordinarily expect. So I screen grabbed the photo, imported it to adjust exposure, and compare the two side by side.

The surrounding area of Lightroom, seen around the two shots, is midtone grey.

You should be able to see the full range of brightness and 26 distinct steps in the below range, when the Brightness and the Contrast of your monitor are properly adjusted (...and then do monitor calibration for Hue reproduction accuracy)

Use the histogram to see if the brightness is within the correct range. I see posters post photos that are too dark, and you can easily see that they are dark by one or two stops by checking the histogram. You don't even need a calibrated monitor to see that problem.

You can shut the LED screen off.

The only problem is the Leica MD 262 has no screen but the monitor does…

How’s that…
