Why not just shoot in jpeg to start with, then when your a little more experienced return to RAW.

To get you out of your current predicament the software that came with your camera should convert the RAW files to jpeg

I guess my perception must be a little wierd then

You have an evil strak Don

I sincerely hope that if Pentax do produce a K9 they will spend more on its design and production than the BBC did

Thats not quite true Roscoe, the crossbow had the range but where it failed was its rate of fire, English Archers would whether the storm of crossbow bolts then run forward and could loose off up to a dozen arrows before the crossbowmen had reloaded. Of course modern crossbows are much more powerfull and quicker to load and archers no longer have the upper body strength to draw back a "proper" longbow, though I believe the ancient law that peasant children must attend archery practice is still on the statute books

PS; I suppose I should add that the Welsh were also pretty good with the longbow too, just in case our Welsh members know their history

re the LX, Either this seller has a few of these or cant sell it I've seen it listed a couple of times before.

I prefer the colour version I find the B&W a bit "in your face" especially with the tight crop, does anyone else see this or is it just my wierd perception of things.

Nice handling of the skin tones BTW.

I was just testing you

Err! thats not a PROPER Longbow not unless it can fire a three foot arrow with enough force to penetrate chain mail and even thin plate armour

But nice shot regardless Ted, I like the low viewpoint and I like the way the bow frames that target stand on the left.

Like give the alloy a brass coating, then when the paint rubs off at least it'll look classy

The 50-135 DA* but you may need to rob a bank first
