Patricia, I agree with you totally about saving photos as .bmp when you want to work with them later. In my case, I normally know that all I want is about a thumbnail that will fit into a report.
In the hundred or so that I imported today, I did, in fact save about three in the .bmp because I knew I would be working with them later. However, I would much prefer to change three to .bmp than 97 to .jpg. Thanks, Roy and Darlene Leggitt, full-time RVers.
