Powerful.

With Windows, and when in file explorer, when you grab images and right click email, windows asks you if you want them smaller or not. Large, medium and small byte sizes. Does picking any of these in windows do the same thing? Are any choices here downgrading the image? I usually have so many to send, I lower size, and tell family that if they want a particular one to let me know and I'll send the larger file.

Not the hottest topic here, but am interested in the answer. Is downloading the camera to a PC/tablet faster with a USB reader, or using the cable that came with the camera (Canon)? Some of my larger shooting sessions (200ish) photos, takes awhile with the cable. USB also seems easier to bring along on trips versus the cable. The USB reader would almost be 'universal' . Just wondering what the UHH crowd prefers.

Wow, what a great and simple tip.....seems like that would work for sets of pano also.... Nice.

Thanks for the tips, I was so worried about freezing action, I over did it with shutter speed. Planepics post away, would love to see them.

B-29 on static display and tour flights. Trenton NJ Airport. Flight pics shot with high shutter speed. Didn't know I froze the props.

Crop the driver out and you have a great pic.

Maybe NAS Patuxent IN MD?

Looking out onto the small lake in our complex, I see a Bald Eagle in the reeds on the opposite shore. I ran for my camera (which had my new Tamron 18-400 mounted) to take pictures. The setting were originally set for a sunrise shooting earlier that morning (AP), so after some pics, I changed to shutter priority to try to freeze the eagles movements. All shot at 400 zoom, and cropped in PP. Some shots good, some mediocre. What a treat to have the animal so close.

20 percent keepers, 5 percent 'wallable'.

Thanks everyone for your answers. I certainly learned more about RAW and about camera software re: working the image it takes.

Thanks again!!

thumbnails. i only use thumbnails to pick the keepers, it was when I open them in RAW that I noticed the grain. Linda..... the ISO range of the good am shots were 600-1200, pm shots 2000-5000 and higher. As a hobbyist, my main question was because I shot RAW/jpg, why was the RAW more grainy in the poorer light than the matching jpg was. With my limited knowledge I would have thought it would be worse than the same RAW image.

Because the am shots were beautiful in RAW, most only cropping was necessary and it was a finished image, and the pm cloudy ones tended to be grainy off the bat, was it mainly due to the higher shutter speed calling for more ISO due to less natural light? (Linda)... are you saying to 'normally' crop in the main and not while in raw?

I tend to only use the first tab in PSE Raw, clarity, color, shadow, some white balance. However on the pics in question, I noticed the grainyness right off without touching them. Hopefully these 2 pics work out. I did not choose to use these 2, so I did not PP them at all. FYI.....Even though I didn't use this image, my typical crop here would have been the batter, catcher, ump, with some room in front of the batter.

I found a set that I did not PP, and when zoomed in, show the grain well in comparison, but what can I save the cr2 as to be able to load it?
