Excellent post, that's exactly how I was visualizing it. Like placing a
sliding, variable-size bracket around a Photoshop histogram, where the
bracket is the capture device's range and the histogram is the subject's
light response. It'd be great if cameras had a graphic UI like that
for setting correct exposure.
