A good idea Tom, and that was the first thing I tried - without success

Yes, opening it in any app was not a problem

So sending it thru the mail changes something even if its in a folder

Yep, I had tried that

I dont have a Sony, that pic was taken by my daughter who does.  But 
usually I dont have any hassles with the pics she sends, and many of the 
pics I cant rename are not from her, but were taken with either my 
Panasonic TZ3 or Fuji Finepix

Do you have write privileges in the directory which contains the photos?

I think so, as there are other photos in the same folder and I can 
rename them OK

I would not recommend that someone open and re-save a photo in
GraphicConverter without telling the person to save them under a new
name to preserve the 16-bit original. GC is fine for what it is, but
what it is is a low-end photo editor, meant for preparing photos for
WWW display. Most importantly, it can only save in 8-bit color, and no
matter what else it does, that keeps it in the little league, as it
destroys much of the color information in a photograph (24 bit = a
palette of over 16 million color shades, while 8-bit = a 256-color
palette). (24-bit color is referred to as "Millions of Colors" in Mac
language.)

Photographss meant for art printing or other professional purposes,
such as the ones that I happen to be showing off at the moment
<http://www.primordial-light.com/aves.html>, ;) need Photoshop or other
professional software.

Not to mention opening a file and saving it is a fairly inefficient way 
to *rename* a file.

I have other methods that are simpler, but harder to describe and not
necessarily as transferrable.

What is the point of the speckled background rather than a 
restful plain colour, is there not enough going on with the 
pictures to delight the viewers? What is the point of the 
underline under some of the photos, is this supposed to be 
obvious?

Your points are well taken. I'll revisit the design of these pages when
I get some spare time.

But when the photos are so spectacular, I didn't notice any of that 
other stuff.

I see so many spectacular photos so often that all I notice is 
the rest. Seems a shame for decent photos to be dumped into so 
bad a page. 

You do realise, of course, that your post will further cement 
your reputation as a nice guy and mine as the meanest of

Soooo horrible it is? A passel of my friends, acquaintances, strangers,
and enemies have seen that page and you are the /only/ one to comment
on the presentation.

/But/ as I said earlier, I agree it needs re-examined with a view
toward cleanliness. Warning: the horizontal lines may be thinned, but
they will stay, as they separate species; some species have more than
one photo.

No worries, mate. That's already set in concrete, etched in granite,

years, polished to a high gloss, waxed, and dusted off periodically;)

No need to warn me, make sure the lines make it somehow 
*obviously useful* to your visitors and do not assume they will 
be because *you* have intentions. Remember, all the intentions in 
the world did not help the ME crises.

And while you are at it, why the transitional doctype? What are 
you transitioning from? Why even the useless xhtml? And why, 
given you go and do these two latter things, not at least get rid 
of the mistakes that validators can easily point you to? In case 
you don't know, even Mac Safari can be decked out with extensions 
and links in the top of the browser, including one that sends 
your page to the competent W3C HTML Validator. 

If you are simply anxious to get your pics shown, then you can 
easily do this without trying to make a fancy page. Don't worry, 
Goldberg won't notice and will still be delighted by your 
pictures.

My web pages are intended for viewing by people, not robots. Of the
thousands of people who have seen my sites over the years, a grand
total of /one/ has complained--and I keep a tight count of complaints.
I know what my web pages look like in Firefox and Safari under Mac OS
and in Firefox, IE, and Safari under Windows. They look just fine in
every case.

What I'm not going to worry about is what you /or/ your robots think of
my web pages!

You do not care about search engines? No wonder the Middle East 
troubles are in such a mess with barely conscious over-proud, 
arrogant and ignorant folk like you 'diplomating' it.

Actually that makes it no people complaining, you don't think I 
am human do you? You are so naive. 

> --and I keep a tight count of complaints.

You mean you have an apparatus to handle no complaints? You are 
quite a fellow! People tend not to complain in most cases if they 
are not paying for something. And good enough for them does not 
mean you should take the same attitude.

Actually, my objections began in my mind because this is not so 
at all. Your taste is gauche. I suppose you are some sort of 
relativist about aesthetics, polling the masses is your standard. 
You probably have shares in McDonald's in your fine foods 
portfolio.

You publicly have no qualms showing what an ignorant man you are? 
That you do not care for well established standards fashioned by 
legions of intelligent people for the sole purpose of making 
websites usable to the maximum number of people. You blinkered 
dolt! 

I have always had suspicions about you and now the evidence comes 
flooding in. You were a diplomat in the Middle East? If I had a 
heart, it would be bleeding right now for the poor schmucks over 
there that have suffered so much under the various tyrannies 
(including that of the basically racist state of Israel), 
tyrannies that have been fawned over and aided and abetted by 
barely conscious folk like you.

I don't think about search engines much; family and friends know where
to find my work. I have nothing to sell, nothing important to say, and
I'm not in competition with any other site for hits. I just googled
"raptors" and "Maryland" (minus a couple of terms) and my page was in
the top 100 of 2,280,000 results--and it has been up for about three
days. I expect it to rise after I find time to refine the keywords.
Google "macintosh" and "astronomy" with no modifiers. My page
<http://www.primordial-light.com/macastronomer.html> is #10 of
2,230,000 results (as of this moment). I'm only sorry that I didn't put
a counter on that page until well after MacLife magazine did a
three-page article about me
<http://www.maclife.com/article/feature/using_macs_take_pictures_galaxie
s_far_far_away>. It was that page, by the way, that brought me to the
attention of the editor of MacLife. The counter (which does not count
my own visits) is at 7461 just now. The total number is probably twice
that. Amazing, considering that I put the page up and did not promote
it. The world amateur astronomy community is a small one, and the Mac
astronomy community is just a tiny slice of the total.

I played a very modest role in brokering the peace treaty between Egypt
and Israel.

I know that I should spend more time thinking about you, but it's
springtime in the right-side-up world and between my wife's farm, which
is located about three miles up the road, and our own two acres, I've
been really, really busy.

Of course not. I can barely count. But "one" is a fairly easy number to
remember.

Ah, I have encountered the Grand Arbiter of Taste. Being a machine
intelligence as you are, there is no way I can question Your authority
on matters of taste. I am honored and humbled that You would stoop to
condemn my disgusting taste and my miserable, unworthy work.

Keywords in the head play hardly any role (Google long ago woke 
up to their abuse).

No need to be so sarcastic seeing how nice I have been to you. I 
have looked carefully at the things you claim are taking up your 
time and I cannot accept them as being more worthy than me.

No need to exaggerate or be sarcastic. Be diplomatic. <g>.
