Ok,took some new pics on the other memory card,shrunk them down on Intelli-studio which came free with the camera,one was taken with the 20-50mm lens,the other taken with a 16mm wide angle lens,lets see if this works,and if the pics are any good,regards,

well looks like it must have been the other memory card at fault,or cropping the originals in windows down to below 2000kb,it worked anyway,this is my first twist pen kit,sovereign from Axminster,with acrylic black and tan blank,sharp corners roughed off with 1/2" spindle roughing gauge,then rounded with a 3/8" spindle gauge and taken to size with a 1/2" skew chisel,sanding was done with abranet 240-600g then sanded wet with micromesh pads 1500-12000g,thats it,regards,

dr4gonfly,Never give up trying is the motto,just give yourself a week or two to cool off and rethink things.

David,I was really surprised at the finish straight off of the abrasive,using it wet must be the key as reccomended in Axminster`s catalogue,regards,

Eric.

Hi Eric if you down load your photographs from your camera to Picasa you can set the parameters 640x480 when you export your pics it will the do this automatic everytime.
