Like Bill, I sometimes use FRV because it can be useful for culling quickly, better than judging by eye. But IME the number of times this advantage happens is not all that often.

However, if you want to use it as a dynamic range improvement tool, bear in mind that FRV doesn't know your camera, so the upper and lower limits shown on the raw histogram are generic. If you want to customise those limits you need to use it in conjunction with RawDigger I believe.

I just want to correct myself here -- apparently FRV calculates the clipping point for each shot individually, so it is smarter than I thought. Ya live and learn.

Thanks, all. I just imported several hundreds photos from yesterday's outing at the local raptor sanctuary, so I will give it a try on these.
