The problem is the the compressed file size is irrelevant to what size print you can make from it, as it varies by image rather than solely by resolution and colour depth. Uncompressed file size is directly relevant to what you can do with the file, so it's a far more useful measure for anything beyond how many images you can fit on a disk. -Adam -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
