Thanks again, Mark. Hopefully one last puzzlement. You suggest 6-megapixel images but also 2000 X 6000 pixels, which is 12-magapixels. And by consumer printers I take it you’re referring to places like Fed-Ex Office or Walmart? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Eric Weir Decatur, GA USA eew...@bellsouth.net "Imagining the other is a powerful antidote to fanaticism and hatred." - Amos Oz -- 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.
