7;s OK. With some programming experience you can do a lot of things. The only problem we had was that our based was built in Access 2.0, but when Access 97 arrived it turneed out that M$ had left out some code that lost the backwards compatibility DagT

it worked. I do not think it worked this way in Access 2.0, so we will just have to hope that good old M$ has changed the code in the right version... Good luck, let me know if you have any problems. DagT > Fra: Dag T <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > I didn´t get as far as thumbnails,

on't remember the aperture, though. I did something similar here: http://www.foto.no/cgi-bin/bildekritikk/vis_bilde.cgi?id=10891 Guess the aperture the other photographer is going to use, set the shutter on "B" and keep the shutter open until the other photographer has taken the picture. If the other photographers timing is good you get a good picture :-) DagT

re is a difference in colour resolution and luminence resolution. As the filters are not able to completely block out the other colours you may argue that your desaturated image is a true 6MP image. From what I understand the takes this into account when calculating the image. DagT

Only if the filters are perfect, which they are not. The blue and green sensors will see some red light, but at a much lower intensity than the red sensors. The Bayer algorithm is to some degree able to use this data in building the image. DagT > > Fra: mishka <[EMAIL PROTECTED]
