Yes, it is a standard size we use to transfer real estate studies. They
work fine, I just noticed that although they are shot at the same
settings,
they come up later reading different when the mouse pointer goes to them.
(One is 135kb, the next 139kb, etc, etc, all varying kbs.)
Hope this explains it a little better. I do grasp the point that the
details within the picture may make one picture register at a different
number kb than the other.
