I agree it's a bit annoying but whenever I want a picture, I go in iPhoto, retrieve the picture and then export it. As an added bonus, I can easily choose the resolution and the quality, so depending on the use I'm planning to do with the picture, I might export it at a lower resolution for email or full resolution for including it in a document to be printed. What annoy me a bit more is all the space that those pictures and all the supporting files take on the disk... -Laurent. -- ============================================================================ Laurent Daudelin AIM/iChat: LaurentDaudelin <http://nemesys.dyndns.org> Logiciels Nemesys Software mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] bytesexual /bi:t`sek'shu-*l/ adj.: [rare] Said of hardware, denotes willingness to compute or pass data in either big-endian or little-endian format (depending, presumably, on a mode bit somewhere).
