Tom, you're talking about re-saving as jpeg each time. No point. I shoot jpeg all the time. I copy across from card to computer. Those that get worked on are saved as PSDs, period. Then: some are re-sized up to 300ppi for printing (usually not saved) some are re-sized down to 700 pixels along the longest edge and saved as (smaller) PSDs ready to use directly in my website software (Freeway) or some are re-sized down to a suitable size for viewing on a computer screen and turned into 50~100 KB jpegs (using the 'save for web' function in CS) ready for email. Aside from the last option, I don't revisit the jpeg format once the image has left the camera. Freeway creates the jpeg from the ~1MB PSD files and does a good job (aside from stripping the profile out of it - something they are working on, I have been told). BTW, my hair upped and left long before I ate my hat ;-) Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=====| http://www.cottysnaps.com _____________________________
