ISO settings, and other ramblings

Here I am in Sydney, still in my 'jammies before (late) breakfast and can't escape from the keyboard.....

I didn't even mention Normal, Fine, and Superfine quality JPEGs, just set the PM2 to RAW.

Raw plus LN jpeg works for me, always the useful jpeg that works for emailing or quick web use, raw file handled later to get more out of the image.

And it all worked out, pretty well, thanks to Guy Parsons.

Photos looked good.

That last one, I was playing with the keystone correction, and i got the silos straight, but the shed is sort of tipping over forward, and I guess need to play with the thing a bit more, but the picture itself is an improvement over the JPEG, I think.

That Guy Parsons uses something called Faststone, and they might have that in Missouri, too, and it might be better than the free viewer from Olympus.

FastStone Viewer is everywhere, a great toolbox thing. It's donate-ware and I did donate as it's so good.

But I do have a free DxO somewhere in my computer programs, and I might try that first.

Now, which version? As some versions had keystone etc correction built in, later dropped out and needed to buy the more versatile correction plugin.

The occasionally very cheap PaintShop Pro has always had all that correction ability to get buildings straight etc.

I'm learning all this, as I go along, with a little help from my friends on the internet like Guy Parsons and the rest of you'ns.

When I was a school boy, a long long time ago, I went to some State run aptitude testing place to try and work out what would suit me as a job in future. The helpful reply was "you can do anything" - but the kicker was the way the tests worked out the notion of "social worker" bubbled to the top. That astounded me as I'm not a social person.

Anyhow went on to work on fixing room sized computers for umpteen years, that's quite unsocial in my books.

But now retired and here I am helping the less fortunate just like a real social worker, so they were right after all.

Regards.... Guy
