Thank you very much for the advice Adey and Don ...
I had not noticed that part of the Paint Shop Pro 7 "save" system.
I keep all my digital jpeg pics as taken on camera, copied on to
two external drives and two DVD copies. Always have four originals
and then make adjustments on the PC and laptop to a secondary copy.
So nothing lost, as it were. A bit of tinkering under the bonnet of PSP.
Adey, you have raised another question for me, now.
My camera is set to record jpegs, which can produce 4.4Mb pics
on Fine setting, or 2.2 Mb on Normal. If I was to copy these across
from the XD card, and convert them to TIFFs is this feasible, or daft?
Is it better to save them on camera as TIFFs and what would the
equivalent file size be then? It doesn't matter for document copying,
what matters is to get as many reasonable frames on one card.
For other work, I have six XD 1Gb cards, so have plenty of space.
In a week away, I can easily take 1200 frames, to sift out the chaff
later ... better to grab that shot of a passing ship than to regret it
afterwards.
Best Wishes, Raymond
