RAW to JPG (1 Viewer)

andrew_chick said:

I have started experimenting taking images in RAW format. I can view the RAW images in the software supplied by the camera (Cannon), and I can ‘Transfer to Photoshop’ and view in Photoshop. However, when I try to save the images I only have Tiff, Raw, PNG and Photoshop file options – NO jpg. If I try saving for the web, I get a message telling me that this function wasn’t design for images this big (see attachment) – but lets me save it has a .jpg image anyway. If I want to save my image as a .jpg and keep it as big as possible, what is the best way?

Andrew, you need to convert to an 8 bit image to save as a jpg. The size of the jpg depends on the compression factor that you use, for the highest quality use the least compression.

Andrew,

If you intend to file and save your images, always save as tiff. Have a hi-res and low res version.

For the web, reduce your image to the size to view, then at same size reduce your resolution to 72 pixel/inch, then save in jpeg RGB mode, medium – high will do.

Sue under the mode menu you'll find the 16 bit ticked, just tick the 8 bit and when you go to save as you'll find that jpeg and a few others will be available, mode is above the adjustments menu under the image drop down list
