OK! So you corrected my punctuation oversight. Now what?

That's the worst job of punctuation editing I've seen.

Some how I don't think that is an accurate assessment.

Pretty bad considering there was no punctuation editing.

So you didn't notice the Eric punctuation edit; "...at the same event."
edited to "...at the same event?" ?

The comma should be removed between "better" and "or", but that isn't the more
noticeable error.

Oh! Well.

I corrected two of them. :-)

More importantly, what was the answer?

Neil is the only one who can provide that answer. We only pen the
awkwardly punctuated questions.

I'm confused. Was the amazing difference between pictures you took and
pictures she took with your camera? Or between pictures you took at the
dinner and pictures she had taken at other events?

Bob

With the same pictures. She used her method of finishing while I used mine.

Obviously since we had two different photographers sharing one camera
there were "amazing" differences.

More importantly, since the camera both used was Neil's, were his
daughter's results better, or worst than his taken at the same event.

Really just different. It is a matter of her taste compared to mine. I
also use the Gimp white she uses something else which seems to give decent
results but not to my taste.
