Just downloaded it. I can view it but can't edit it in Capture.
Dunno why. Another member of the failed FL2 clutch/DMF club, twice.

I am wondering if adobe bridge has saved it protected, so I am going to pull it off the memory card and try again, unless I deleted them when I upload to my mac Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

right, I have uploaded to drop box a new copy of the picture

straight from my memory card

i have also looked into the options on Dropbox and hopefully have altered them to allow editing of the file once downloading

Care to try again Greg Embarassed

I definitely prefer the B&W version as it seems to have so much more atmosphere.

There's so many different opinions and that's why I posted it to see how others edits are done

I like EY colour and B&W too Thumbs Up Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

to give the guy credit, he was say there strumming away, had a good voice and his guitar case was closed, no cup of change in front of him, I think he was there for the love of music, defiantly got my 4 year old daughter dancing in front of him, but then she'ed dance to the sound of a door bell Laughing Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Good efforts by all, noticed nearly everyone is cropping keeping the full bench in, some focusing on the guy some equaling all the colour around the houses more in focus Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis
