That photo of yours is very nice but I notice on the exif data that EV comp is 0.

Hi Roy,

Yep I noticed that as well, but the true exif is +0.33EV using opanda and looking at the original file which I have at home.

Opanda:- Exposure Bias Value = +0.33EV

Maybe WPF is not extracting the EXIF properly, I am fairly sure was ok with my Nikon files?

I find I use the histogram and highlights display more and more these days now I am getting an understanding what it actually means and does. You can't rely on in camera automatic metering and what the pic looks like on the camera screen.

Cheers
