I have been involved in sports photography for about 12 years, primarily basketball, and have been satisfied using jpeg images out of the camera because I just didn't want to take the time to convert 500 + images. I have recently decided I need to get the best from my new camera-Canon 5DSR-I know it is supposedly not a "sports camera" but you get 15+ megapixel jpegs from the camera so I thought converting RAW images would increase the megapixel count from my converted images. When I import the pictures to Lightroom it says the images are 50.3 megapixels. After working on them and exporting, the image size is in the neighborhood of the jpeg size right out of the camera (14 to 17 megapixels). I was expecting a higher megapixel size. I do know I have converted to 240 dpi with Lightroom but I don't understand why the 50.3 megapixel image is now down to about 15. Should I be getting a higher megapixel image? Any suggestions will be appreciated. I have to admit that the pictures from Lightroom are somewhat better than those straight from the camera with simple adjustments from Picasa but I don't know if the time involved with LR is worth it. Thanks!

I don't know about photos of deceased older children or of adults - presumably there would be photos taken during their lifetime, which is what I would like to have to remember them by.
OTOH, my Dad was called several times to take photos of deceased infants. All of them less than a week old. The babies were dressed up in Sunday Best and placed on an appropriate background: blanket, pillow or such. Dad took a number of photos at different angles, went home and printed them, and the next day took them to the bereaved parents. To my knowledge he never charged for them. They were the only photos the parents would have of their infant. Often they were the only way grandparents and other relatives got to see what the baby looked like, especially if they didn't live in the same town. This would all have been prior to 1960.
In this kind of instance, I fully support taking photos of a deceased person. I would not want my photo taken when attending a funeral. But, that's my opinion. I will never take my camera when attending a funeral either.

My email does not say that anything like that. What exactly does yours say? Are you by any chance looking at the newsletter email from last week? This is a different email. Here is the complete text:

I have Paintshop Pro X6. I purchased it because it included Authentec Perfectly Clear. I asked Paintshop for instructions to batch process PC. Their instructions for creating a script don't work because when I reach the point to select from available editing choices Perfectly Clear is not an option. I emailed them a while ago for instructions which did work once. When I attempted it last week I had the original problem of not having PC as a script choice. I emailed them again & they told me they no longer support X6. Any help from Hogs????? Thanks!
