When you import, you can tell it what size previews to generate: Minimal, Standard or 1:1. For sharpness checking, you want 1:1. Once the import completes, *IT'S NOT DONE ...!* The rendering of 1:1 previews takes a bit of time. Give LR time to complete the rendering unless you want to bang into the "rendering larger preview" bottleneck. Given images already in the database, you can use the "Library->Previews->Build 1:1 previews" command on a selection of previews in the grid. Rendering goes faster with a larger Camera Raw cache. i have mine normally set to 2G, that works well for sub-1.7 Gbyte files thus far. That's on the Preferences - File Handling tab setting. -- Godfrey godfreydigiorgi.posterous.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
