The 'subtleties of "chemical" pictures' or any other subtleties of rendering aren't worth a pinch of pooh if the actual picture is abysmal. I only evaluate my images at full resolution where I have two or more to choose from with similar compositional qualities that I can't decide between when viewing at a reduced size. -- Rob Studdert HURSTVILLE AUSTRALIA Tel +61-2-9554-4110 UTC(GMT) +10 Hours [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://picasaweb.google.com/distudio/PESO http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~distudio//publications/ Pentax user since 1986, PDMLer since 1998 -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
