Har, well for my eBay pics I often leave the tripod at the same position along and shoot at the same exposure for roughly similar sized objects with a view to cropping after the fact since I know that I will have sufficient resolution. I also have actions set up that automate thumbnail production, sizing, sharpening and saving. It's far faster for me to shoot then crop than to be moving my tripod, refocusing and adjusting exposures. Also I believe that it literally pays to invest a little time in the preparation of images for eBay auctions. Each to their own I guess. -- 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
