Macroman - stop bragging

What's wrong with inches - nothing! Great system. Metric comes from the French revolution related to the distance from the N.pole to the equator, if I remember right. And they got the measurement wrong.

Why do we use metric today? I thought we won the Battle of Trafalgar!!!! And Waterloo!!! LOL

Only joking - no offence to friends across the sea!

Sophie - what you forget is that pixels have no size. Therefore, it follows that size in pixels is in the eyes of the beholder!

Nelsons Column is 185 ft or 56 m high. In pixels it can range from say, 10 pixels up to 3000 pixels, depending on your resolution. Therefore one mans Nelson's Column could be minute, while anothers huge. Whether Macromans is infinite, I don't really want to comment.

As pure picture elements no. But in reality or practical terms they do. Your 3000 pixel of Nelsons Column would produce a much larger picture on your screen (and in Mbs) than the 10 pixel version. They may not have a standard size, but they do have size. Else they would not exist. CCD area / no. of pixels give approximation of mean pixel size, assuming they are closely packed.

An infinitely small pixel (ie no size) would require an infinite number of pixels to compose a picture of any size. Pure asbtraction.

Not much fun for Friday....... I agree!!!!!

Well I already seem to have an inbuilt b******t detector .. so what I need is an early warning b******t detector. Might save some time! lol

What else .. oh - an 'extra time' inserter. If I've been at the day job all day and then I come back home and need/want to write all night/work on some pics, I want to insert extra time so I can get some sleep too.

not much to ask .. lol

Longer hours, Suzi, like 120 minutes in each.

Our MD tried for that but the 'union' wouldn't agree!
