Great comments.
This Is basically how I learn, post on here or TP forums.
And by asking people too.
I took more today too, been taking my time editing them now that I don't use JPEG much.

Nice one Max! It looks great on my desktop - you even left room on the left for my icons.
Max I mostly go for b/w photos maybe old fashond,but b/w is crisp and clean
and alltho the colour version is good your eye instead of being focust shift about from sky to boats on the right and is alltogeth less calm.wheras the b/w is calm.I think that;s my answer, other wise can't explain my preference for b/w. on saying that both pics are great, were did you take it from?
Both are brilliant in their own way, well done Max.

The B/W photo's we get today look somehow too clean and technical. I know that there are effects you can apply in PSP to 'age' them a wee bit and get something like that old B/W texture or quality.
Do you know what I mean?
Now you've got my FULL attention!
I know that RAW is a format which carries a lot more info and is used by pro print works etc. I know it's less lossy and creates bigger files. That's about it.
I gather that it's better to work with RAW in PSP or Photoshop, is this correct?
One of my greatest hobbies is digital manipulation/enhancement, though I'm not the worlds best snapper. - I just take lots of shots and hope for a good one.
What exactly are the benefits of using RAW. I use BMP when I want to work at high magnification at pixel level and only use Jpeg out of consideration for net users and view times etc.
Well done Max. Take on board the comments made here and do what you want to do fella. More powa to your camera dude.
I prefere the monochrome or black and white to us down to earth, salt of the earth, ordinary folk.
Keep shootin, from the hip.
If you've saved the file in raw mode when it is subsequently loaded into a raw conversion program and then saved to a TIFF or .PSD format file it can be exported in 16 bit mode. The 12 or 14 bits recorded by the camera are then spread over the full 16 bit workspace. If you've saved the file in-camera as a JPG than it is converted by the camera's software to 8 bit mode and you will only ever have 256 brightness levels to work with. In other words, the 4,096 to 16,384 brightness levels recorded by each pixel are reduced to 256 brightness levels.
By the way nice pic's Max i like them both.

It's a completely alien language, isn't it?
Too much for me to learn at my advanced age.
