1) I can’t find a way to do the equivalent of the preview check box
in the Raw utility. That is, I can’t find a way to quickly switch back-and-fourth between an adjustment and no adjustment.

2) I can’t find an equivalent to the history pallet. That is, I can’t figure out a way to retreat from the last few adjustments. I have to cancel and loose them all rather than just backup.

3) Is there a way to move the entire histogram without distorting it? For example, if I overexpose a little, and then want to shift the exposure to the left how do I do it without altering the shape of the histogram? Moving the exposure slider to the right or left distorts the histogram.

4) Do the Raw files contain the equivalent of the EXIF data, so I can check which shots were taken with which settings? If it doesn’t have this I consider it a severe weakness. If it has it how do I view the parameters/data?

‘Preview’ check box near the bottom-left corner.

I don’t think this exists (though I’m often wrong).

You can view this info in the File Browser (I assume you have CS).

I’ve been looking at that screen for some time trying to find that and it was right in front of me. My inability to see things that are right in front of me frightens me..

Thanks. I would never have figured that out as I don’t use the browser. I select images another way.

Well that answers 2 and probably 3 out ot four.
