I enjoy reviewing my slides that way, but doing it too often, of course, is dangerous and lingering too long on one when you look at it, too, is bad (not that you are not aware of that.) When I first got into Animals Animals I had sent them a lot of stuff that I reviewed looking at them on a screen -- most of them came back I got in on the strength of my black and white prints and my "eye" but was told in no uncertain terms NOT to send any that I had not reviewed for sharpness and color with a 10x loupe on a light table... Boy, were they right! I love looking at stuff projected because it carries me to the spot, but I do it seldom to protect the images. (and it is a hassle to set the stuff up, too.) annsan
