You would be aghast if I were to tell you about my password system.
Ok - I'll give...
I have one.
I sometimes have to add an * on the end or capitalize the first letter. I've been using it off and one since the early 80's.
so far so good/if it ain't broke don't fix it.
for extra security - I cross my fingers sometimes

Hi

Hi
Elizabeth Childs asked me for my "take" on this matter.
I'll take a shot at it but also would like to share it around to see if some other (smarter) folks I know could offer some input it I may ?
The process of making a jpg file does, in my understanding, compress the file is such a way that some of the information gets lost. I believe there are ways to share images that are less destructive. I'd suggest you try perhaps TIFF or maybe GIF ?
Anyways - let me know if it's okay to reshare this publically and maybe "tag in" a friend or two. Also - you might consider, when asking a question like this, to allow comments. It would be simpler for folks to answer directly on the post.

Am noticing that the conversion from RAW to jpg degrades the quality of the image. Is this "me" or is it the actual case? Cannot post the RAW image alongside the jpg to show this loss.
If this is the case about converting from RAW to jpg... am thinking to exaggerate the processing of RAW images, so that when the jpg conversion is complete... the jpg will actually appear the correct way. Does this make sense?

Hi - I saw this on face-boo. Figured I should pass it on.

FRIDAY'S LAUGH OF THE DAY!
Qantas Airlines: Repair Division
Remember, it takes a college degree to fly a plane but only a high school diploma to fix one.
After every flight, Qantas pilots fill out a form, called a 'Gripe Sheet' which tells mechanics about problems with the aircraft.
The mechanics correct the problems; document their repairs on the form, and then pilots review the Gripe Sheets before the next flight.
Never let it be said that ground crews lack a sense of humour.
Here are some actual maintenance complaints submitted by Qantas' pilots (marked with a P) and the solutions recorded (marked with an S) by maintenance engineers.
By the way, Qantas is the only major airline that has never, ever, had an accident.

P: Left inside main tyre almost needs replacement.
S: Almost replaced left inside main tyre.
P: Test flight OK, except auto-land very rough.
S: Auto-land not installed on this aircraft.
P: Something loose in cockpit.
S: Something tightened in cockpit.
P: Dead bugs on windshield.
S: Live bugs on back-order.
P: Autopilot in altitude-hold mode produces a 200 feet per minute descent.
S: Cannot reproduce problem on ground.
P: Evidence of leak on right main landing gear.
S: Evidence removed.
P: DME volume unbelievably loud.
S: DME volume set to more believable level.
P: Friction locks cause throttle levers to stick.
S: That's what friction locks are for.
P: IFF inoperative in OFF mode.
S: IFF always inoperative in OFF mode.
P: Suspected crack in windshield.
S: Suspect you're right.
P: Number 3 engine missing.
S: Engine found on right wing after brief search.
P: Aircraft handles funny............ (I love this one!)
S: Aircraft warned to straighten up, fly right, and be serious.
P: Target radar hums.
S: Reprogrammed target radar with lyrics.
P: Mouse in cockpit.
S: Cat installed.
And the best one for last..................
P: Noise coming from under instrument panel. Sounds like a midget pounding on something with a hammer.
S: Took hammer away from midget.
