In fact no selective work except spotting out some sensor dust that was in the sky. I think any artifacts that you are seeing and the sharpening in the details are all effects of the jpeg compression. I read somewhere else that M8 files do not compress well (too much detail?) and I agree. The web sized jpegs seem to deteriorate quite a bit more with the M8 files than they do with the Canon files, but I like the M8 tiff files better than the Canon tiff files!!!
