I've generally compared the resulting *prints* and not had a problem. There might have been some additional tweaking in PS on the ISO 800 but if you can't tell the difference in the print ... I haven't done a severe crop/enlargement comparison between ISO 200 and ISO 800 in the resulting print. -----Original Message----- From: Emily L.

Have you examined your files at 300% enlargement in PS? Have you shot the same object at 100 and 800 and compared them at 300%? Have you examined your forest outlines at 300%? Perhaps our standards are different? -- Emily L. Ferguson mailto:elf@xxxxxxxx 508-563-6822 New England landscapes, wooden boats and races http://www.vsu.cape.com/~elf/
