Thanks Paul, that's the final conformation I was looking for.

If I'm feeling enthusiastic and have sufficient time I might go for a
compile of GIMP 2.6.0 for the experience, but suspect I'll just end up
going for the upgrade to Debian Lenny soon instead.

In the mean-time I bodged a bash script to run Imagemagicks convert on
all the .JPG file the camera creates giving me copies in .png format.
Which is okay, but not perfect.  It does allow me to edit the image
files to sane sizes though.

Thanks again to all.

Toodle pip,

Al
