Hello Kirk,
thanks for adding the "Sharpen" checkbox in "Save photos as". I wasn't able to test it yet, since I experienced several chrashes with this beta. One that I could reproduce: when closing the tab that shows the content of the CF card (connected via Fire Wire reader) PM crashed.
The other crash (I was not able to reproduce it): scrolling fast through a tab that had 600+ shots caused PM to shut down. The photos were located on an external FW drive.
Used this system: Mac OS 10.4.10, iBook G4 1Ghz with 768 MB RAM
Greetings,
HM
