Hi, I am a new member, I am using a trial version of Lightroom, but plan to buy it soon. I am a portrait photographer.
I had been using Bridge and Photoshop to acquire Raw images. I usually put the eye dropper on the brightest highlight, adjust the exposure, and look the info panel (RGB) to get the most consistent exposure each time. Usually I look at the Red info and adjust up or down until it reads about 22' or so. I also look at the CMYK info to get an idea of the skin tone (although I let it vary from person to person slightly.) I have no idea where this sort of information can be found in Lightroom. I don't want to "eyeball" the exposure, I want to look at some real numbers so I can be consistant. I hope I explained this well, and thank you for your information.
