Was it expensive to repair and is it as good as new again?

Why don't we close this thread and we can then concentrate on new Christmas Greetings! Just follo Gwyn's link, thanks Gwyn!

I really do think that is incorrect in every respect. How can we agree that someone who has worked professionally and has spent all their lives in a photographic environment has no more knowledge than any random poster on the internet?

I find the premise absurd to be honest, especially considering some of the drivel that gets posted on the internet.

The Facebook terms are, so far as I can see, simply there to establish the right of Facebook to actually publish our offerings in whatever countries Facebook is visible in, without any payment. Without granting that licence, they probably could not show (publish) our content, or could be liable to claims.

I would guess that when we put images on any website we effectively licence them to publish those images for free.

Off topic posts removed. Please don't use pictures unless you own them, provide links instead. In any event, Your Photos is for the OP in a thread to show their images.

delighted to hear it was successful!

"sharpness" - I do this to satisfy the requirements of fotoLibra. Ironically, their clients do not want any sharpening in software but are happy to accept in-camera sharpening.

So much for saying the PC is more capable than the camera itself!

If anyone objects then it's easy enough for the image to be removed, but no complaints so far.

I was looking at it purely from the number of pixels in the image. We view them on screen the same, so that does make it harder to judge, but say a print at A3 does tend to need more sharpening than a web image.

Of course having a ball park figure in mind works most of the time, but individual shots may need less or more sharpening depending on subject matter. A Grade II Listed black and white manor house will take more sharpening than a portrait would, whilst retaining the quality we would like.

In the case of a portrait a craggy old face might suit higher sharpening than a young female model, most of the latter not welcoming seeing every pore of their skin reporduced in staggering detail.

To answer the original query, as the image with the higher pixel count will be the bigger print, then you could consider the pixel count to be the same as the size of the image as viewed. Don't get too hung up on this as it could well lead to confusion. Keep it simple.

What do you need expanding on the original post darksies? It does cover different sharpening for different sizes, so how would you like that explaining further?
