someone here finally admitted (in the RAW discussion) that if I got it right in camera, jpeg would be just as good for interpolating to my stock agency's requirements... as long as the jpeg image was large enough and hade enough detail. so then I was less worried about hurring to upgrade my software so I could deal with raw. One of the things that has always bothered me about digital photos I've seen in print is the kind of fiddled-with look - that "too perfect to be real" stuff. I'm into heavy withdrawl symptoms from film and dizzy with learning the new stuff. One thing I learned too late was the focus lock - I totally blew some lovely rainbow shots not knowing what i was doing. I expect to be picking a lot of brains about digital at the mountain next week -- next week! yikes! I ahve to packnow... ann
