saving in raw and jpg

[meatwagon]

OK im using the 300d with the moded firmware. I gives you the option

of saving in raw with a jpg, I have it set to that, but whenever i

take the photos it only saves the crw file and i never see the JPG

file, Am i doing something wrong? thanks Jamie

The file is "embedded", this means that 2 graphical files and perhaps some extra data are saved in one file with the extension .crw. Have a look at the Canon software, this gives you the option to extract and save the jpg file or to convert and save the raw file. Irfanview for instance will show the jpg file unless a few extra Canon routines are present on the PC. These will allow Irfanview to show the raw files.

hmm, ok i never use the canon software, i just use a card reader to copy to my hard drive then, i use Adobe cs... anyway to extract from cs, ps 7?

Far as I'm aware, there's no way to extract the embedded JPEG in a .CRW file using

Photoshop CS. Unless you want to use the Canon software to do it, the simplest thing you

can do is create a script to batch convert the .CRW files to JPEG using the "As Shot"

defaults.

 

If you had Photoshop CS2, you could use Camera Raw v3.4, open all the .CRW files into

Camera Raw simultaneously, and then RAW convert directly to JPEG format from Camera

Raw.

 

I do this as a matter of course when I need JPEG proofs so I never bother using the RAW

+JPEG options on any cameras I've got that support it.

I find it much simpler to shoot in RAW & then, if you have to, use the PS CS2 Bridge Image

processor to create the JPGs (Bridge -> Tools -> Photoshop -> Image Processor) from the

images you want?

If you are a geek (or know one who will do you favors), you can use the <a href="http://
