Bait taken, JDK, I am convinced by Jeffrey Quill’s own account that it was on 6 March, not as popularly stated 5 March, as he relates in “Spitfire – A Test Pilot’s Story” on page 71 of my copy. I am sure he took that date from his logbook.

To be precise, setting the dpi in Photoshop 7 (and maybe version 6 too) is via:
Image/Image size/ Document size/Resolution, with Constrain Proportions ticked and Resample Image set to Bicubic . . .

A couple more taken at Oshkosh last year – with the gear firmly down and locked!

Thank you John, it’s just that I have an irresistible urge when I see a photo here on the Forum that is way too dark, or light, or with a colour cast, to manipulate it in Photoshop to get the most out of it! However, there’s no need to send me the TIFFs, my own personal database in which I do keep the best possible photos deals with first flights of prototypes and first series production aircraft. They are the pictures I try to improve. However, there is one exception here, the one with a dragon on the side of it, I would like to be able to see more detail on that one for interest’s sake, and would appreciate a TIFF copy. Please send it via E-mail.

I have taken the liberty of giving one of your photos a bit of Photoshop treatment – not a lot, but some of the hidden detail appears. I hope you don’t mind!

No idea, Gunship, you’d better ask Basler! I was on a visit there last year, fascinating but we didn’t talk about the marketing side, just looked at the whole conversion process, which is extremely comprehensive, including total rewiring, especially interesting for me.

“Once you have registered your username, it becomes yours for life. In extreme circumstances, you may request that the administrator change your username, but he or she will require a very good reason to do so.” Quotation from FAQ.

Richard, it looks as if you will have to ask the Webmaster/Administrator very nicely if you want to change your username “stopthefighting”.

Here’s a view of the Basler conversion facility, conveniently near to Oshkosh!
