Deleted good images...Noooooo!

I feel such an idiot

After uploading pics to the PC the first thing I usually do is run through them with windows slideshow, make a note of the unsalvageable ones and delete them!

WRONG!!!!

I have just discovered that the windows slideshow does not (for some reason) display the images (jpegs) straight from the camera as sharp as they actually are, yet anything that has been tinkered with in Photoshop and saved to a maximum quality jpeg displays OK, I feel I may have been deleting images unnecessarilly.

Has anyone else experienced this or is it just me?

Sounds like a typical "Microsoft Feature" to me

I still use steam driven ACDSee v3.1, yet to see anything better (or faster) for viewing jpegs or bitmaps.

I never delete anything. Ever. You never know when something might be just what you are looking for.

Sue on the other hand goes Delete Crazy every now and again, and I sit here shuddering with horror....

Ditto: I Never delete anything. I guess it stems from film days when you couldn't. If it makes it out the camera it's backed up forever. So I do delete them off the camera sometimes but they are mostly 'check' shots. I find when I look back, even a bad shot evokes a memory or a reminder, with a digital the Exif information on failed shots is very useful.
