Can we put the chat about the images in the appropriate thread please?
Thanks!
My apologies.
Hyram, your confession would be safe with me. And I've been aground in Chichester Harbour more times than I care to count. Including right where you took that picture, if you took it where I think you did.

Still, there's no harm in experimenting. And the full-colour version is lovely.

Fortunately, the council street cleaners must have noticed the stickers too on Sunday and they have now been removed!
Congratulations Mike on a deserved victory and well done to McBrian on a very difficult judging job.

Hey, I've just discovered that Irfanview can be used as a RAW converter!
First you need to download the plugins to allow it to open and view PEFs. It won't convert them to JPEGs unless you tell it to. It offers a handful of crude features for altering the image if you like. Then to convert to TIFF or JPEG or various other formats, you simply Save As from the File menu - and select your format of choice from the drop-down list.
There's more to Irfanview than first meets the eye, and it is constantly being updated. If you are a photographic novice, Irfanview will be more than enough for you while you master the camera.
But do read the manual.

So the recommendation should be that the width of the picture should not exceed 800 pixels.

Being precise.
