Is It Alot Of Mucking About With RAW.
No brick walls needed - we can finally agree. :-) A rather tenuous agreement, but technically agreement none the less. Doug
Forum: Taking photos
Michael, There are two new pieces of software from Canon. The one above is Digital Photo Professional, which is only for 1D, 1D Mk II, and 1Ds owners. The second, which supports all the above plus D30, D60, 10D and 300D is called EOS Viewer Utility. I have only downloaded DPP, so can't comment on EVL.

Canon 5D Mk II not compatible with CS2 raw?
that's an ePz rule (to drift off the original topic) I believe it may even be compulsory! :) None of us want to pay more than we need to but Adobe is not a charity Quite.

RAW or JPEG format ??
Tell me why I cannot batch process more than one RAW file at a time and use saved settings on some of the parameters? Cos you haven't found the right "button" in C1? :)

lightroom vs photoshop
There is often confusion between editing and manipulation. I agree with everything you say. The scope and capability of Photoshop is astounding. I started using it in 1991 (version 1!) when we used to develop colour films in hotel rooms, scan the resulting negs via PS, noodle with the levels and unsharp mask and then transmit them to London from all over the world. The modems we used then we...

RAW Software - which one is best?
Quote:Silkypix for raw devThat program is so underated, whats the latest edition of the software like ??? Its very good and they do tend to update the software regually as soon as a new camera comes out. I think the reason it is under rated is because it is complicated and there is such a vast array of settings that are not immdiatly understood or easily accsesed and also the translated jap...

Olympus raw on CS5
Hope your friend isn't planning on installing the same CS5 on to his new computer. Adobe are getting pretty cute at detecting and preventing piracy! Theoretically, he would have to deregister it on his old computer before he could re-instal it on a new one. I think there may be a bit of leeway, but he needs to check. Otherwise it could be a pretty expensive bit of redecoration. ;)

Image Processing - RAW or JPEG?
I have resolved the RAW/JPEG delimna for myself. This forum has been helpful. My experience today was also helpful. I took a very nice JPEG into the printers looking for an 11x14 print. The image would print at about 200 dpi. Now that might be good enought for my fading eyesight, but not nearly as good as the recommended 300-400 dpi. I may have saved the image several times and lost resol...
