Thanks Bob will do just that, Fogey my problem is i no longer have the raw images in future i wll do just that. I was wondering if its possible to increase the size of the small jpegs.

cheers guys.

Basically NO.

The whole idea of shooting in raw at the largest size is so you have access to any size up to the maximum raw size available to you.

I have all the raw images I have taken (bar really out of focus or irredeemable images) I have ever taken in the state they came out of the camera. Any editing is done in LR or on copies and the originals are kept safe.

Cheers Steve for your input, sadly ive lost circa 4000 images due to inexperience so no longer have my Raw images, im basically a wildlife enthusiast that grabs photos of my favorite subject, im no photographer perhaps i should rethink reason for taking images.

We all learn by our mistakes. I have made many over the years.

Consider your original raw image as a negative/slide in film terms. One would never cut the neg down to a certain size and a raw image should be treated the same.

In future always keep the raw as is and work on copies of the image.

Good luck and don't give up

Steve
