emily_heskett Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 I've never used RAW before, but I'm trying to figure it out. I took a picture inRAW, but I can't figure out how to get it off my Canon Rebel XT. I've looked allover the Internet and in my manual and I can't figure it out. Any help would be lovely! Thank you.

richie_boone Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 I just use photoshop cs. what software do you have? your camera should have came with at least canon's software that will handle it but its painfully slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emily_heskett Posted February 1, 2007 Author Share Posted February 1, 2007 The thing is, I can't get any software to work. My camera came with PhotoStudio 5.5 and it can't find anything. I tried Adobe Photoshop 7.0 and Paint Shop Pro 8... Nothing's even recognizing that there is anything on the camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m_barbu1 Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 What about Canon Digital Photo Professional? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emily_heskett Posted February 1, 2007 Author Share Posted February 1, 2007 I didn't get that with my camera... Is it free? 'Cause I can't afford to buy a $100 product. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giovannis Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 The Canon software I use with my XTi 400D is Digital photo professional that was included (but also dowloadable on thier site). RAW files can also be read by: Capture One, ACDSee, and of course, Photoshop CS2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mars c Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 You need to use the zoom browser that came with your xt , so that you can download from camera and view the raw images or convert them to Jpegs or tiff files in the canon raw converter. Hint: right click the thumbnail of the picture you want to be converted when you're in the zoom browser main window, a dialog box will appear, then click "convert raw image". You must do the exposure compensation and white balance adjustment while your in canon raw converter rather than after the convertion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emily_heskett Posted February 1, 2007 Author Share Posted February 1, 2007 What do you mean, the zoom browser? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mars c Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Its in the CD ( compact disc) that came bundled inside the box of your xt. It is a software, you must install it in your PC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m_barbu1 Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 <p><i>I didn't get that with my camera... Is it free?</i></p>You should have - on a Canon CD-ROM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim_larson1 Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Also. . .use a card reader. Don't download directly from the camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emily_heskett Posted February 1, 2007 Author Share Posted February 1, 2007 Why is a card reader better? Just curious! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim_larson1 Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Card reader allows you to download without powering up the camera. (really important if your batteries are weak). Card reader will transfer information faster than the camera can transfer information Card reader will make you treat the card like an external memory device. . .which is exactly what it is. If you use the camera as your card reader. . .now you suddenly have to worry about some of these software compatibility issues you are having. When things are really going nuts. . .you can transfer information from the memory card while you are shooting the camera using a second memory card. And. . .it allows you to use the memory card as a standard USB key device (although. . .as time goes by. . .this is less important as 2gb memory keys have really dropped in price) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
