Nothing, you would only see a faulty pixel at 100% zoom so no real need to go over your photos searching for a spot.

Basically you can paint with a -1 exposure or any other value so you can selectively darken or brighten an area.

You can download a 30day trial of Lightroom at Adobe, trying it out is the best way of seeing what it does.

They really are ignoring you today George

It seems so George, pity it always goes down that road with these subjects.

The advance with the DSLR is going very fast, if you looked back 10 years ago at the Nikon D1.
The Nikon D1 was seen as the first pro DSLR I believe.
it had an APS-C sensor so 1.5x crop and a whopping 2.66 megapixels with 4 frames a second and ISO 200 up to ISO 1600.

Today current entry models are 4 times better then the top range cameras 10 years ago.
It makes you wonder when enough is enough.

I just make sure that my files are under 1MB and upload them like that, no conversion are done so far as I know then.

And Nathan is trying to say the same thing, that it is not about the camera but all about you.

I've seen great photos taken with cameraphones so it's all about knowing how to handle your equipment.
All Nathan and George are trying to say that you haven't hit the limit of what your current camera can do and that you won't see a major improvement in your photos by switching since the photographer is so much more a factor in how stunning your photos are.

The best of luck Feeb, the D700 looks like a wonderful toy hopefully it will serve you well.

Like George said a C&C section might do the trick, it will pull the group apart. Since it's quite clear what the section is about the "great pic" syndrome might not come up there.

I know for myself that I don't look very often in the your photo section anymore because more people are showing there photo it seems then that they need help with anything and I don't have an awful lot of time anymore
A C&C section would be visited by me daily, simply to see if I can help a hand somewhere.

The major limitation for me using JPG is the limited WB adjusting you can do in PP since that's one thing I adjust most of the time.
If Jpg would save the WB information like RAW did then I would probable have used it more and saved RAW for the difficult shots that probable needs a lot of PP.

So basically Jpg isn't adjustable enough for my likings so will use DNG and hope for a better format between the two in the future.

Maybe not, they would probable have his personal records so contacting them might be useful.

Just wondering in how much things would change, I've already seen members offering personal real life help to other members here and the your photos section offer the basics you describe in your second part.

If the attention behind is to make a list of persons you can directly contact in need for help.
It would only help really new members since you get friends her fast on this forum and you know which member to contact through a note if you need specialized help, at least that's my view on it.
