Pat: Maybe the group can suggest some solutions that would improve my workflow in this area; I've never found quite the magic.
I would like to connect my Canon 5D to my Macbook so I can see the image on the Macbook right after I fire the shutter release. If I could also see the histograms, that would be great. And even better if I could select part of the image and see the histograms for the selection.
Does anybody have a successful experience doing this?
Yes, that's called tethered shooting and does provide the benefits you mention. Just open photoshop (bridge I guess now) in the landing folder and it should update as new shots come in so you can make selections & get local histograms. I'm not sure which software for Canon but I've used this on a Nikon and it opened in the remote control program for basic review although I preferred to use irfanview or PS for better control. There are 3rd party solutions too but the camera manufacturer's software should let you control all functions & settings of the camera from the laptop which is more convenient: testing DOF with the aperture, white balance, etc.
