Well, I take that back. It is wider than a 1 pixel outline. More like 2 pixels. Seems to be a problem in the anti-aliasing algorithm (that's my guess). Zoomed-in look: http://www.antiqueauto.org/assets/WhiteOutliningZoom.png On Thu, May 7, 2015 at 7:00 PM, Darren Addy pixelsmi...@gmail.com

That is a spectacular image, but there is still a lot of discernible detail in the background. That does draw some attention from the main subject of the image, IMO. Dan Matyola http://www.pentaxphotogallery.com/danieljmatyola On Thu, May 7, 2015 at 4:22 PM, Ken Waller kwal...@peoplepc.com
