Wow..This very helpful for me,thanks,Ajo. BUT...my digital handheld microscope 'formats images as:'BitMap'...I do not see this 'Bitmap format' even mentioned in this tutorial!?? How can I convert:'BitMap' to 'Jpeg", to the 'post in forum?'. Secondly ( I am totally neo-ludite regarding computer software usage), is there 'on the net', a tutorial which 'builds/amplifies what you just shared here,Ajo? Third...What about :'RESIZING MY IMAGES' for better:'e-mail etquete...that is to ask...how can I make the image file smaller for posting in forum? happy springtime, charlie guevara,NJ,US
