Janet, I see we cross posted. You are absolutely right about KISS. We are probably not going to invest in a newer camera. Although I do want to get the most possible out of the one we have.
Going through all the above definitions may not have been entirely a wasted effort, though. I do think that how photo files are managed after they come from the camera makes a big difference in how they look, whether online or in print. I'm pretty much self-taught with Adobe PhotoShop, with some pointers from the prep people at our printer. And have learned how to take a "so-so" photo and in some cases turn it into something really good, between managing the "curves," cropping and doing some cleanup...
So I would like to learn about CMYK files and learn if there ARE better ways of managing my .RGB files. I will also be asking our printer -- I need to get a new issue of our monastery newsletter out soon. With the possibility of online PDF viewing, I will probably do a full-color original and then turn it into Black and White for the press...
