Hi Tina,
Sandy is over in Europe on a shoot and part holiday. She's expected back May 
26th. And yes I'll get her onto this RAW as soon as she is.

One grandson is playing in a baseball tournament in Vancouver and the other 
just left after dinner to see his girl friend, unfortunately he wasn't 
intune with RAW & JPEG. The baseball player is a cracker jack and I'll have 
him over to-morrow or the next evening for help. He already designs his own 
web sites. :-)

I suppose my biggest problem with all of this is, I'm the kind of person who 
learns in the blink of an eye if I'm shown. But leave me to read and try to 
understand I'm a hopeless lost moron! :-( As scared as all get out about 
screwing something up and not knowing how to get back to the right place if 
I do. :-(

It's part of my KISS theory, keep it as simple as possible and it's easy!

However, I must say I'm determined to learn this and will do. Besides I 
really am excited about what I see from Leica glass on a digital camera and 
I want more of it in the best recorded manner possible.

Thanks for your assistance and I will persevere..
