What is the size requirement of the stock house to which you refer? You
can convert to six megapixel image to a nice 72 meg, 8 bit file in the
PSCS RAW converter. No stock house I've contacted wants images larger
than that. The Hearst and Primedia photo editors I've worked with
prefer them at about 36 megs for all but spread photos, which require
only 50 megs or so. Yes, I want ten megapixels, but six are adequate
for quite a lot of the work that even a mid-level working pro would
attempt.

that be?
There's no need to be condescending, if 6MP images are good enough
for you and
your stock house/magazine publishers that's great, you've got just
the tool to
do the job but it doesn't mean that it's good enough for everyone.
My stock house had some limitationswhich in practice set the lower
limited to 8MP a couple of years ago, but they've got some new
software that make this less important. The lady who runs the stock
house is a former photo editor from one of Norways largest publishers,
so I think she knows something about what is regarded as "good enough"
for the costumers.
