Indeed the difference in not much, and thanks to that I mostly use EEM
for proofing and "give away" images. However, as minimal as the
differences are I do find that PR gives me better minute detail
(sharper rendition) and also a bit better shadow tonal range and
detail. Subtle, yes, but enough to where if I am framing and/or
selling a print I use PR.
