PhotoShop Question

PhotoShop geeks: lateley I have been shooting in Raw (with small jpeg) mode with the 30d. I have been trying to plow through "PS CS2 for dummies" to find a quick way to show Raw photos in PS.? I use the file open command and when I choose a Raw photo (using the open in RAW format dropdown in PS) it asks me what the vertical and horizontal pixel counts are. I put in what I think is close and I get a black and white image with horizontal streaks accross the whole. I know my complete ignorance of PS is glaring here...is there an "understanding" of the nature of RAW that I am not grasping?

Anyway, if someone can post me a pathway to open a Raw photo from a file in "My Pictures" into PS CS2 I would be extatic. I know, "read the book!". I have been trying, but time constraints and fatigue have been making this more like an exercise in sleep inducement. crazy.gif

Swimmer the first question I will ask is do you have the RAW converter installed in CS2? Its sounds as if you don't. Go to the Adobe HSOforum and get the latest version of the raw converter for CS2. When that is done you do nothing more than, File---Open--- and select the RAW file you want and it opens in a new window inside CS2. Do your work in RAW and then you can "Open" the file in CS2 for further editing. Hope that makes some sense crazy.gif

Thanks Dan. I thought I had CS2, but it is CS1. The camera raw is version 2.0. SO that is the problem. Unfortunately, the latest plug-in camera raw update from Adobe is version 2.4 which supports the 20d, but not the 30d.?? Do you think this version might still work for the 30d? Can't hurt to try I guess.

Sorry, bud, it won't work for the 30D. I had the same problem when I was using a 1DMk2n with CS. Latest CS plug-in didn't support it and I had to upgrade to CS2 to use the RAW images. However, there's a great workaround. Go to Adobe.com and download the free Adobe DNG converter. It converts all camera RAW images from any camera to an equivalent format called Adobe digital negative (DNG), which CS will open just as though it were a camera RAW image. There has been some talk in the industry about offering DNG as a capture option for new digital cameras coming out, since it's a format invented by Adobe and supported by them.

Just different enough to push you back on the "software upgrade merry-go-round." Reckon the Canon and Adobe heads "do lunch" now and then and figure out how to stick it to the little guy?

But that's why DNG is so effective. It can keep you off the merry-go-round a few years longer.

Since I'm a dummy at pp this can be a learning moment. I use the Canon DDP software to open the raw image, do my pp then convert it to a tif. and then open it in Paint Pro if I want to do more.Since a tif. is lossless,wouldn't this be a fairly quick way for Swimmer to get his to Photoshop for pp?

No prob, FM. That's a good way to go too. But I believe CS offers more options for altering a RAW exposure than your option, so by converting to DNG and opening as a RAW-type image in CS, Swimmer should be able to do more with the image in the "preview" mode. CS and CS2 offer a dizzying array of abilities to correct things that way before the image is even opened. I haven't compared the actual mouse clicks, but I don't think the option you mentioned saves much time.

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      Problems with Yetti

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
