Thank you very much for your help and your elaborate answer. Your explanation is very helpful indeed and very much appreciated.
There is no doubt parts of the image are underexposed and some fill light would have saved the shot. My post-production didn't fix the problem and the rejection was right of course.
What puzzles me is that I don't see the posterization in Lightroom and in Capture NX2 but I do in PS CS4.
This is my equivalent to your Lightroom screenshot.
When I display the image on 100 percent
this is what I see in the Lightroom Develop module,
this is what Capture NX2 is showing and
this is what PS CS4 is displaying. Only PS CS4 is clearly showing the posterization.
All screenshots have been taken on the same freshly calibrated Quato screen displaying the exact same RAW file. I calibrated the screen using a ColorMunki and I understand the ColorMunki software is delivering the monitor profile to all programs alike.
So why are different programs displaying the same image differently?
