OK OK!.......

Jeeeeeeeeesh I knew when I admitted about the JPEG/RAW/DNG thing I'd be in
the glue. Because I promised Tina along time ago I'd work at RAW until I
succeeded working in RAW. 

 

I did try and try, however not like the little train getting over the hill
that made it I just drowned trying to make the RAW thing work. So OK some
digi things come easy, fiddling with digital technology isn't one of them
for me. I'm a doing kind of guy and need to be shown over and over again
before it finally sinks in. Sometimes with things like this I also require a
good smack across the side of the head. Gently of course! ;-) 

 

You see it works like this:

Tell me & I will forget.

Show me & I may remember.

Show me and involve me & I will understand.

Confuse me & I am dead!

 

So I gave up RAW because it's so much easier slipping right along in
JPEG.:-)

 

And given I have LR sitting right here at my elbow courtesy of Wade, my son
will install it this evening and I will make one more stab at RAW with
LightRoom.

 

However be assured if I should return to JPEG I shall never ever admit it
again! ;-)
