Actually I should have explained more clearly using Picasa is an exception rather than the rule when I'm really in "image appreciation mode". One step short of throwing it into PS or Pixinsight to REALLY have a gawk at things. You obviously wouldn't be bothered downloading each image while browsing around then opening with separate software.
It does bug me a bit how image sizes are handled in PBase, but realistically you've got a wonderful setup going there Mike - particularly like your album concept - too often it's easy to get fixated on a single "perfectly processed image" (if such a thing is possible
) when a number of crops of key features is much more workable. Particularly with the AG12 and SAO sensor you're using....
