LOL! I'm the dufus! i can't upload TIFF images here! what am i talking about? i just got done transferring my images (which took FOREVER, BTW). I looked at both the JPEG and TIFF and couldn't see a difference. i'm gonna just keep shooting in JPEG! Cindy, thanks for telling me that! i save as TIFF when i'm in painter, but for some reason i've never thought to do it with my photos!! I'll have to think about that. LOL about going out and shooting in the raw!! well, gf...you wouldn't do that here today!!! freeing, but not worth freezing your ***** off!!! :)
