Michael Here's my understanding of how the S2 treats large files: regardless of whether you have chosen to shoot 6mpx or 12mpx files as the default, the S2 always interpolates up to 12mpx and then down to 6mpx. If you save a 6mpx image as a TIFF and then interpolate that, the quality won't be as good as if you had saved as a 12mpx RAW and then convert that to a 16 bit TIFF. There are some comparison images on the Dpreview site under reviews. The problem is finding a good RAW converter on the Mac. Dpreview talks quite scathingly about the RAW converter LE and not too glowingly of the full version, for which you have to pay an extra �129 + VAT. I think everyone agrees the full version should've been bundled with the camera and by now they should've been able to include OS X versions for all the software. BTW, can Image Capture in Jaguar be used to shoot in tethered mode? When I connected the camera via the Firewire connection and setting the correct function in the S2 menu, it couldn't find it. The Fuji software seems to require you to boot into OS9 before you can install it. I haven't tried it yet. How are people using OS X shooting in tethered mode? --/ Shangara Singh http://www.e-pixel.co.uk Adobe Certified Expert ~ Photoshop 7.0 PortfoliosOnCD for Photographers http://www.portfoliosoncd.com =============================================================== GO TO http://www.prodig.org for ~ GUIDELINES ~ un/SUBSCRIBING ~ ITEMS for SALE
