RAW or JPG?

The software you're using to view pictures on your computer may not be able to read the RAWs from your camera.

Yeah, i am shooting in raw D:
Is it possible to find a program that will open it in raw?
Or is it just my computer?

One came with your camera.

 

[Josh66]

What camera are you using? Did you but it new?

It should have came with the software to process the RAWs.

If you don't have that for whatever reason, there are a few alternatives.

GIMP is free (google it), and with the UFRaw plugin, you can process RAWs.

There are a number of non-free programs you can use too - Lightroom is popular.

Ah - you have a Canon camera, lol. Yes - DPP (Digital Photo Professional) is the software you need. It is on one of the disks that came with your camera).

OH okay, got it haha
But just oneee more question : P
Uhm i put in the disk for the editing system that came with camera, cause i wanted to check it out, and all that comes up as the folders, no installer

Sorry for all of my questions haha
Thanks
Anthony

Nevermind.. got it haha im really sorry for all my annoying questions -edit-

 

[Bitter Jeweler]

can you right click the drive it is in and select Auto Run?

 

[Josh66]

Run setup on the CD/DVD drive?

Open the folder and look for an .exe file. run that.
Check your autoplay settings if you want the installer to come up when you insert the disk...

 

[Ajlista]

Again, im sorry but haha i have yet again another question
Uhm.. how do i open raw images outside of the program? Like save them to my desktop? When i did, there was no program to open them with, i tried otherr programs and it didnt open
I see them in the digital photo professional thing, but i cant see it in any other way
Thanks again so much : )

You have to use DPP to convert them to JPGs, which can be read by pretty much anything.

I haven't used DPP in a long time, but I don't think it's very hard.

Do whatever tweaks you want to do, then export as TIFF, JPG, or whatever.

Somewhere on the disk that had the program, there should be a PDF of the manual. That will tell you everything you need to know.

Maybe your computer needs a software to open RAW...
