Hi Ronni Thanks for the advice. I thought JPG was the best choice but most PC users who have sent me images favour PDFs.
I have often wondered why some files have a .jpeg extension. I always use .jpg, I did not realise it had to be .jpg for PCs. I am sure I have the Photoshop preferences set to 'Maximize File Compatibility' but I shall check before I run the batch file.
