I've had my shiny new Canon 7d for a few days now and I am very happy, Its gunna take a while to learn the new functions but thats cool. It replaces my 450d which i lost (a long sad story)
But my small problems is in bridge (on my mac) it only opens the raw files that are shot in its highest resolution 18m.
When i shot in either MRAW or SRAW neither bridge or photo shop with open the images.
I am running SC4 with Adobe camera raw version 5.5.0.97
Any clues ?
i know there is a later very of ACR but the read-me says it is only for sc5.
I thought i would try here first before i lash out and buy CS5 or bugger up the rest of my system trying to fix this
Cheers
Craig

| Camera Raw 5.6 update This new version of the Camera Raw plug-in replaces the original Camera Raw plug-in that was installed with Adobe® Creative Suite® 4 or Adobe® Photoshop® CS4 software. |

| One thing that has always puzzled me; Why does a person want to shoot a small RAW file? I have never used that setting. I've shot JPEGs in all the available sizes, by why shoot RAW in anything but the biggest size you can get? |

Thanks Faidoi, got it going now.
BrennanOB, i read this article
//www.kenrockwell.com/canon/7d/users-guide/
while i dont believe everything i read on the internet, i thought it worth testing for myself.
Then this weird behavior with PS that didnt open the smaller raw files.
I just wanted it to work.

I'd love it if my camera let me shoot mRAW or sRAW. As it is, I don't like converting the RAWs to JPGs when doing birthday parties and family gatherings, but I feel 25mb is a pretty large file for one picture. I'm satisfied with the quality of my 8mb RAWs on my 30D and am glad if I upgrade it doesn't mean files that are automatically going to be 3x as big. I'd like the ability to control that. |

What Ken says in this case makes some sense (did I just say that??) in certain situations. Bottom line, if I'm limited by my computer, I may find advantages. He's correct that even a 4.5Mpx "S" sized image will pack more detail than a 4.5Mpx camera, but there will be jaggies and moire to deal with because the image is undersampled. As long as I *do* have the drive space and processor power, I will *always* shoot at highest resolution and downsample later as desired for the particular application. If I need all my original resolution, I'll just re-export at full size, and Bob's my uncle!
One bit of hyperbole in Ken's write-up is that "nobody needs 18Mpx." Bah. Stuff like this is why my opinion is Genius or >>Fool<<. As an example, I shot up at EAA's Airventure show yesterday, and I'll tell you, for the airshow shots, I sure wished I was shooting a 5D MkII. The extra resolution would have been a real boon. |
