PNG is a technically superior format compared to JPEG - especially for the kind of tasks we're putting it to. I was quite suprised it wasn't there already....
Although the PNG (and indeed TIFF) formats are technically better, the image files are much larger because they are lossless – Wikipedia estimates 5-10 times...
In fact, Windows does the enlarging/shrinking to fit the projected image and Microsoft are annoyingly coy about the algorithm that’s used! I recommend that...

Thanks Andrew - I've never come across a development environment enforce that before. Is that a constraint specifically on the clickonce deployment (are you...

I use the Express edition of the Visual suite and that has the limitation. A change that’s occurred fairly recently; I think in an update of the last year,...
If you can find out, I would be interested – I can’t find it anywhere on the net. Having the images the right size does make a significant different to the...
I do agree, to an extent! As I’ve mentioned, it’s the image size that causes the problem – a competition with, say, 200 images would consist of 40 Meg of...
Sorry you’re disappointed, but it wasn’t a decision that was made lightly. Some clubs do have hundreds of images in their competitions – 1200 is the most...
Thanks for taking the time to look at it again. A nearest neighbour resize from 640x480 up to the 1400x1050 of the sx60 is more likely to show resize errors...
I've not checked yet, but nearest neighbour should be easy to spot. I'd just automatically assumed that to keep memory overheads low (to avoid paging in...

FFP doesn’t store the images in RAM, but it does have to examine each file – so it loads the file, extracts the metadata and then discards them. If the...
Andrew, I feel I'm missing something :-) We now find the best way is for everyone to submit everything unresized on USB Flashdrives the week before. It is a...

You’re stricter than our projectionist – he allows entries up to the day before! Most of our members are pretty good at getting the image size right now,...
The EXIF reader is proprietary; but it’s worse than that! There are three places FFP looks for metadata – EXIF is sort of supported by the Microsoft...
