This before and after comparison of a very contrasty scene shows the amount of information the D90’s sensor was able to capture and keep in its RAW files.  Check out all of the detail and color that I was able to recover in both the highlights and shadows that weren’t at all visible in the original, using Photoshop’s Shadows/Highlights adjustment tool.  I could have easily pushed this image more.  This is why I shoot RAW; this would not have been remotely possible with a JPEG out of the camera.
