Yes, I need to be more aware. When I implement USMing, I notice too
that I usually lose some data because I'm not paying attention to a
histogram. I'm like the pilot who doesn't trust his instruments (Hey
Scott) and flies only using his eyes. It's fine until you find yourself
in the clouds and there's lots of hills around. That's what PS is for
me, flying blind through a cloudbank.
I'll look for the histogram in the Navigate window.
Thanks,
Alan
