I think the advantage of the histogram is that it can help you fine tune your exposure, if I where shooting JPGs I would definatly use the histogram, but RAW files do have latitude, to be honest I only use my histogram to double check my exposure looking at the over all image, I never pay much attention to the blinking high lights.

So are we not supposed to trust our histograms anymore?

If not, what's the purpose of using them?

That is the beauty of RAW files, there is a lot of information recorded for those high lights, and that is the one place where Adobe raw converter also shines.

I'm confused.

Some shots show blown highlights in my histogram on my Canon 20D but when I pull then into Photoshop RAW converter I can adjust them so the highlights aren't blown at all.

What gives?

I thought blown highlights meant there was no data in the highlights but indeed, I have plenty of info when I make a little exposure adjustment.

Am I just lucky or is this normal?
