I believe the word "illuminate" should be "eliminate" in the following sentence?

Finally, the Chromatic Aberration slider can help you illuminate colored fringes

3rd para - 2nd bullet point

a) "The second option turns auto rotate on for only the camera" - shouldn't the word 'camera' be replaced by the words 'personal computer'?

b) The second sentence of the second bullet point does not seem to make sense - it implies the image will be rotated on the camera's LCD screen.

I'd appreciate clarification of the above points.

Many thanks

1st paragraph

if you increase the shutter speed by two stops from 1/125th of a second, wouldn't this be 1/500th of a second and not 1/1000th?

1st paragraph under Partial Metering

Paragraph states: "While evaluative metering is almost always the right choice, if you're shooting a scene that has a background that is significantly brighter than the foreground, then the evaluative meter could get confused, resulting in your foreground being overexposed."

Seems to me this should say "underexposed," since the subject is too dark on p. 144.

Images

Images are transposed. If camera = linear = dull, then according to the description the dull picture should be on the right.

caption under photos at bottom

It seems to me, from the text before and after the 2 photos and caption, that the images are in reverse order...or the text ought to read "...the right image is fairly close to how your eyes would see this scene. The left image shows how your camera sees the scene."

Please note: I am trying to understand color space so I might be really wrong about the caption. In any case, I remain confused about the matter.
