david enzel Posted July 11, 2003 Share Posted July 11, 2003 I am a new 10D owner and love the camera. I want to buy software to convert RAW files conveniently. I use Photoshop 7. I know Adobe has a plug-in but am not sure if it works with the 10D. Any other suggestions? I am a Mac user. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david_eppstein Posted July 12, 2003 Share Posted July 12, 2003 The Adobe plugin doesn't work out of the box for 10D files but can supposedly be hacked to work with them. A google search should find it. I am also using PS7 on a Mac (OS 10.2), with the Adobe plugin, but with files from a D60, and it works great for me.

rob de la selva Posted July 12, 2003 Share Posted July 12, 2003 You can defitely hack the Camera Raw plug in for photoshop, you use a Hex editor, and it's really easy (you're just changing the word d60 to 10D in the file) . Only downside is that as you're using the d60 profile the colors might be a bit out. Breezebrowser is your simplest bet, works well, is based on Canon's SDK. Capture one LE, IMHO, is the best option, but more expensive than BB. Don't use the Canon software unless you enjoy suffering!!!

homme dars Posted July 12, 2003 Share Posted July 12, 2003 Sorry Roberto, but to my knowledge BreezeBrowser is a Windows only program, and the Capture One program does not support the 10D on the Mac until October 2003. Hacking the Adobe Camera RAW plugin is the best option and has worked great for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khitrovg Posted July 12, 2003 Share Posted July 12, 2003 How do you get the plug in for Photoshop? I tried doing a search for Hex editor but nothing meaningful came back. Any suggestions are appreciated. Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homme dars Posted July 12, 2003 Share Posted July 12, 2003 You have to buy the Camera RAW plugin from Adobe for $99.00, then go to versiontracker.com and pick up a copy of a freeware Hex Editor to do the modification to make it work with the 10D. There are sites on the web that describe the process, it really is simple, but I don't have them bookmarked anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsung_lee Posted July 12, 2003 Share Posted July 12, 2003 I have been staying away from shooting in RAW mode for a few weeks since I got my 10D as the bundled RAW converter/viewer is very slow and not user friendly at all. Initially I was going to buy the Adobe plug-in but US$99 for just a plug-in is not cheap and I still need to hack Photoshop so it will read and convert 10D files. I have also heard a rumour that the Camera RAW plug-in will become part of the package in the next major release of photoshop. So I went for the Phase One Capture one DSLR Limited Edition for the same price (US $99). They also offer a Pro version for US$499 with not a lot more features, but for those who own EOS 1DS and Nikon D1X only the Pro version reads their RAW files. It's a stunning piece of software with doubles up as a viewer and more importantlly workflow manager and post exposure editor. The best part is that the downloaded trial version is the same version you keep when you have paid and activated the software with the product key and activation key issued from them. So download the trial version with a 15-day license and I'm sure you'll be amazed by its capabilities. Yes they do offer a Mac version. http://www.phaseone.com/en/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NK Guy Posted July 12, 2003 Share Posted July 12, 2003 >Yes they do offer a Mac version. Sure wish that Capture One had a Mac version of the limited edition. They only seem to have the pro version for MacOS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homme dars Posted July 12, 2003 Share Posted July 12, 2003 Just found the link for the Adobe Camera RAW Plugin modification instructions, if you are interested. http://www.rogercavanagh.com/helpinfo/20_acrpatchmac.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotografz Posted July 12, 2003 Share Posted July 12, 2003 The Adobe RAW developer will be part of the PS8 upgrade due very soon. The 10D is suppose to be included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patricks Posted July 13, 2003 Share Posted July 13, 2003 David, I'm in the same boat, currently i'm using the 15 days trial period for the Capture One LE. There is definitely a learning curve involved. Can't wait for PS 8... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khitrovg Posted July 14, 2003 Share Posted July 14, 2003 I totaly agree with Tsung I just installed Phase One Capture one DSLR Limited Edition for (US $99) It has allot more features than the Canon File viewer. In addition it is allot faster. I would reccomend it to anyone with 10DGreg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
