RAW shooters

[steevo8]

So I started shooting raw finally and when I went to open the files in PS, PS wont recognize them for me to open them in it :? WTF? I had to export them as Jpeg to edit them :(

Also as a new RAW shooter is there anything I should know? Any simple hints/tips you can direct me with?

[bayareaEVO]

what version of ps do you have? i remember i had to download a RAW plug-in for it to read it ;]

WOW..
I have Pchop CS3 and it even reconises NEF, the nikon version of Raw.

Steve, are you using CS2? http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/cameraraw.html

[steevo8]

no I'm on a regular CS version I loaded off limewire a long time ago. I'm kind of worried if I buy any plug ins that they won't work for me since my program isn't lagit

[Jay]

go find CS3, and your life will be happy;)

[steevo8]

I tried :(

I'm too hood to pay for it so I'm going to hold off till I can find somewhere to pirate it from.

Just now shooting in RAW :shock: Download CS2 it will make your life much easier. I have both CS2 and CS3 both downloaded.

Maybe if you ask nice I can get you CS3.

If you don't want to buy a full photoshop CS3 then get PS Elements 6 or Lightroom.

You can also download CS3 on bittorent. the old CS don't have the updated RAW compatibilities

Just download the plugin for CS, it works fine, even with non-legit versions.

The last pics I took was using the RAW feature in D40. I uploaded them on the computer but my photo program would not recognize the file. I downloaded a plugin so my program can recognize it. I edited the pics, and tried uploading on Photobucket and now photobucket doesn't recognize the RAW format. Fuxin great.
So, I searched google for file converters. Ended up getting (I forgot the name), but it converts RAW images to Jpeg or Mpeg or whatever the fux file name for images are out there. Then finally, I could upload them on Photobucket.


I took some more pix today using RAW feature, they look good on the camera viewer, but I will see how they look blown up. I will post up tomorrow.

If your not editing them then your better off just using the JPEG format.
