Also, in straightening the software does what it can, and that can mean that in returning something to the vertical one result is that there is a loss of sharpness, it gets worse the more you have to 'straighten'. I used to try it, but now I very rarely bother unless it is only a very few degrees. Angles are good, in my book.<br />Enjoy the week.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05697994929567403766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3944680374762156997.post-48910171414047455452011-08-21T22:51:14.417-07:002011-08-21T22:51:14.417-07:00Very good black and white photos.
