Thanks for going to the trouble Moose - I only did highlight recovery in the
raw conversion - it's amazing what you have achieved (by being more
selective, I guess).As for the jpeg artifacts, I always use max quality, but
I think the Picasa re-sizing during upload is probably what did it (by
adding another conversion).
Thanks also to others for the critical feedback,
jez
