The 2nd post, on Lightroom, is intriguing. Working with RAW files on my dual core is very fast, though the missing folders option is kind of annoying. I just haven't had to go through _that_ many images yet so I haven't really taxed the application yet.

This is all the more interesting because of the comments on the fluctuations in metering results from aperture priority mode.

One of the best suggestions I got from Marc Williams on PN was to meter the scene by itself, then meter the subjects by themselves. If the subjects are 2 stops darker than the background (ie - they need 2 more stops), then use flash at+2. Etc.

The rest of this thread is still very useful because it's about technique and equipment. But this one fundamental idea is a bit part of it.
