First day out with my D7000 and no doubt I'll be asking a lot of dumb questions in the future.
Fairly happy with results. A walk around some gardens. Quite a bright, featureless sky. However, a few images over-exposed.

Matrix metering, Manual, raw.
I need to get used to the metering of the D7000 and I'm not worried about being to be able to make the right exposure judgements after a bit of experience working with it.

However, my question is, would Active D-Lighting help, make no effect or be detrimental...

raw >> Bridge >>Adobe DNG Converter >> possibly Oloneo HDREngine or direct to CS3/ACR

I've done a bit of searching and I'm still left unsure. As I've indicated above... I don't shoot jpeg and I don't use Nikon SW.

Thanks in advance for any guidance.
Derek
