    The "raw" photo from the camera comes as a jpg.

    Really???......I did not know that! You learn something everyday! I thought if you open it in PS as RAW it stays that way until you save it as jpg! Wow! See.....this is something you don't learn from the books.......or maybe I have to read more books :wounded1:

    @HikeUSA: I think you misunderstood me... my bad, I probably didn't explain it very clearly... yes of course we shoot in the highest resolution. But all basic (decent) cameras have the option to shoot in resolutions high enough. Something like 2272 x 1704 is enough.

    I was talking about really, really big resolutions that are required when you take pictures for magazines (I work in one). The requirements are different and those resolutions aren't needed in watch photography (when the photos are taken only Internet in mind).

    BT, but am I correct to say though????? "shoot in the highest resolution your camera allow" to compensate for lose of detial and sharpness during editing and resizing? I have read in one of my PS books that we lose about 5 to 10% sharpness as soon as we open a jpeg file to edit? I have been shooting in RAW and process in CS4 and save in jpeg post processing for posting here! Is it overkill then to try and avoid this????

    Thanks!

    Tried a bunch via instructions on Pugwash's part 1...still didn't turn out as I though.I think the trial and error begins now. Hopefully by the time I have some cool reps, I'll have figured something out as I practice on my Bulova M7.

    I already burned through a couple of duracells, man does this camera eat the juice out of these things!

    Thanks a lot BT, and as always, Lani.

    Cheers. :drinks:

    Dude...be kind to the environment and save some money to buy your next watch and use rechargeable! SAnyo eneloop is the best I have used so far........

    ...and I beg to disagree just a little bit with BT and the resolution.....I shot in the highest resolution that my camera allow for the exact reason that when we post, we reduce/rezize, and when we do we lose detail and sharpness.......but then again I'm not a PRO and I could be wrong on this! Maybe I'll learn some more..........

    Good luck and have fun shooting!!! :thumbsupsmileyanim:

  23. How do you feel about new Panerai watches?

    One model, the 320......I've been waiting for.......1950 case, GMT, date with no Mag.....simply marvelous.....I'll be all over the REP if it ever comes out!

    I think part of the PAM thinking on this new models is to make them harder to replicate??? :whistling:

    .......and so far it seems tobe workin since no descent one have come out from China yet.......but I haven't

    given up on our Chinese brudahs! :thumbsupsmileyanim:
