Nice!
Looks like Rob is taking the prize for fishiest images so far...

The point I was tying to make is that you are unlikely to want to process every shot and quite likely just one or two from any given shoot. So I leave them as RAWs and just convert the ones I want.
The raw editor will indeed keep a record of your settings for each file but usually some local adjustments are necessary at which point I save as PSD.
I shoot RAW plus JPEG and just trawl through the JPEGs or display the JPEGs if I'm out and about.

Beautiful Don.
Now that gauntlet...

ha ha, Nice one Rob
Stunning !

I like the portrait crop Mark.

I like it the way it is.
The textures are great, the single cob web kicks off all sorts of narratives.
The tiny red bug is actually so dominant and perfectly placed that the image is all about him despite his size.
It would be a very cool act to have the confidence to print this as it is, at A3 and put it on your wall - I guarantee you'll love it

I would like to see some real close-ups, low down with that gorgeous rock texture under his feet, but this isn't the file to use.

Do you have a particular reason to batch convert to TIFF?
You will loose all the flexibility and non-destructive editing of the raw file and fill up your hard drive with TIFFs which you still have to edit?

Personally, I don't know the answer to your question because I never do it. Every file is treated differently and usually the top most working file is saved as PSD and further down will be a bunch of JPEGs at different sizes and sharpnesses.

I don't think I de-fished the lighthouse shot, (could be mistaken) if you get the horizon in the centre (which I happen to like) then it is nice and straight.
I'll definitely put some comparisons up when I get some time. Kriss was good enough to let me pay in installments (what a star!) so I'm working like a demon to get the funds together... well not right now obviously

I love it love it love it. I also have the (Samsung) 12-24 courtesy of Womble which looks like another favourite, but I haven't had much chance to test it yet.
I have about a hundred shots but here's a range.
Did I say I LOVE this lens. If I had to have one it would be this.

Are you referring to me SMC? I've been quite vocal about this in the past.
That's interesting about the picture quality of the two.
The W60 is OK (not great) but is very useful when things get wet.
Chris at Clearwater paddling has the W60 also and his site is full of beautiful pictures taken with that and his earlier Optio.
He finds that the waterproofing is fine until you get water on the lens - then the picture if compromised just like any other camera, possibly more so with such a small lens.
I find that action shots (my preference) are so difficult with the slow response times that it is almost unusable and I find myself using the K10 and hoping I don't fall over, or overboard!
