Hi Ann: Thanks for all your nice comments as usual. No, I seldom shoot raw. I take so many images, that shooting raw bogs down my cameras. For very special still shots such as a very still wildflower or insect, I occasionally shoot raw but not often. I realize I am missing some adjustment and resolution possibilities, but for me, it is more important to shoot a lot of images to get the picture in the first place. Thanks, Lew

Superb! Are you shooting in RAW, Lewis?
