    You can find the Digizone, Skintone and Basic Color Recipes charts available for download (free) at:

    These are useful for those that like to have some real world numbers for starting points while digital imaging.

    All of these cheat charts are great. I was wondering if there is one to rapidly configure the use of flash with pocket wizards and Nikons d700, d300. I get so mixed up with the menus of sb-800 the camera menus- seems it takes me forever to get set up.
    thanks
