The original raws are back at my office. I know I shouldn't be working from jpegs, but I have been painting porch floor boards for two days and needed the break that working on photos gives me. I can't wait until the day that I have all of my photos out here at the farm - maybe this time next year!! Thanks for commenting - Back to painting :-( Tina On Sun, Aug 29, 2010 at 10:19 PM, Geoff Hopkinson <hopsternew at gmail.com>wrote: > Tina you certainly can't edit in anticipation of what your photos might > look > like on the world range of screens of course!
