Ken, They were both shot as jpegs. About 4:30 or 5AM this morning I created the jpegs you see. I think I applied some unsharp mask - radius 2.00 strength 50 clipping 5 in PSP9.0. Maybe somebody else can comment on how strong this is. I was happy with it when I was using PSP3.0, but think it is pretty weak in 9.0 Regards, Bob S.
