I tested what Julia came up with in this thread: http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1021&message=17142860 I went to the terrace, took a custom WB and a shot including some highlights and deep shadows. Here's the shot: http://members.chello.nl/p.fahrenfort/40MTest_norm.jpg Then I placed a 040M (40 magenta) filter in front of the lens, took another custom WB and took another exposure. Exposing for the highlights I had to add 4 clicks (4/3 stop or 1 and 1/3 stop) to get a result similar to the original photo. Look at the shadows: http://members.chello.nl/p.fahrenfort/40MTest.jpg It seems the DR is increased dramatically. Also, if you zoom in to 200% you will see less noise in the shadow area. Thanks again Julia, this seems a very neat trick!
