Saving RAW files

[chris_milliman]

When working with RAW files through Canon FVU, is it possible to save the files to a desktop folder and then work on them in RAW later?

I can't seem to set it up and am forced to work on the RAW files while connected to the CF card of the original files.

Thanks,

I copy always my card to my PC (using a simple Zio reader) and work from that directory. No problem.

I am using a Mac OSX.2. So I try to save the files off the disk, which I can do, but then when I try to re-open them in FVU and change anything I get the message that I do not have model specific processing targets for the images. I notice that they are not tagged as RAW files, but rather as plain old TIFs.

I'm also working in OS10.2. This is what works for me maybe it will help. 1) Create a folder in Pictures called Downloaded RAW's. 2) Create a folder with the day's date, say 4 Feb 03 in that folder. 3) Open Canon's Image Browser and click on the 4 Feb 03 folder inside Downloaded RAW's inside Pictures. 4) Connect either the camera or card reader and select the photos that I want to download into 4 Feb 03. After they are done downloading I disconnect the Camera/card reader and quit Canon's Image Browser. 5) I then open Canon's File Viewer and select the 4 Feb 03 folder. All of the images in that folder are now available for conversion. Pay particular attention to you put them. I generally will put them in a 4 Feb 03 Tiff folder. 6) After the conversion quit the File Viewer and open Photoshop. In Photoshop's Browser I open the 4 Feb 03 Tiff folder and there are all the converted tiffs. I hope this is of some help to you. There are of course a million other paths to go on from there but that's another story. best of luck [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

Okay the Capture, FVU route is a bit circuitous, but it works! Thanks.
