Okay I have always heard that with digital that expose to the right then correct in RAW conversion is the proper way to manage digital capture, however when this is done the resulting images may have nice shadow detail but are less vibrant. If you expose to the left (but not to the point of clipping the shadows) then push up the image exposure in RAW then you get a much more vibrant image.
What's happening - shouldn't the two paths result in the same image? I'm just wondering why they are not. Anyone know what's going on? I've seen this now with both Flexcolor and lightroom RAW conversion tools. Btw - I am working with Leica DMR files on images that had plenty of DR to spare on both ends. Could have exposed +- 2 stops either way and still captured all the data without clipping.
