I also think that in portraits, the background is not as important and sometimes looks a little better with a bit blown out hig…

“Keep the RAWs should you want to rework them later” – have you ever gone back to rework them? This is not about whether to keep them or not/storage Q, rather do you ever go back to rework them at a later stage. If so, what was the catalyst for that, and what did you do differently the 2nd time around? I don’t recall having ever done that myself ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ submitted by /u/7ransparency
