Hi All, Has anyone out there subscribed to this below? I cannot get in to review it. Someone mentions the "images are small". What do you think in terms of images/quality and tertiary art? (i.e. the slide =18meg TIFF standard?) Looks like it could be good for basic image content for photojournalism, an area we're always short on. Jennifer ,.-:*'``'*:-. ,.-:*'``'*:-. ,.-:*'``'*:-. Keeping you informed.
