But as you know, I can?t resist the B&W and once I have converted it I?ve liked it too, but on this case color would be my choice. I will take a look again following the Bob?s comments, thank you Bob! I also agree Jayanand, on that day I was visualizing in color but I have converted some pictures because the tinct across the image was awful Cheers Lluis > El 2 gen 2017, a les 18:08, Gerry Walden <gerry.walden at icloud.com> va > escriure: > > Thank you Tina, John and Steve. > > Gerry > >> On 2 Jan 2017, at 17:07, Tina Manley <tmanley at gmail.com> wrote: >> >> +1! >> >> Tina >> >> On Mon, Jan 2, 2017 at 12:04 PM, John McMaster <john at mcmaster.fr> >> wrote: >> >>> You know the obvious answer Gerry........
