Hello all,
I'm new to RAW, so please bear with me.
I have Rawshooter (and have also tried the Microsoft raw software) but am having trouble opening my pictures. Can anyone help?
This is what I'm doing:
1. Taking photos in RAW format (Panasonic DMC-FZ50)
2. Connecting camera to PC via the cable (for some reason my card reader doesn't recognise pics any more, I think since I formatted the card)
3. Open Rawshooter
4. Move an image to my PC
5. Drag into top box in Rawshooter.
I then get a message saying "unable to open RAW filefilepath).RAW may be in use by another program".
When I tried with the Windows one, the box would come up saying "creating preview" then it would disappear and nothing would happen at all.
Strangely, when I transfer pics to my PC, the icon is Photoshop PSD. If I try to open it directly into Photoshop, I get a box coming up saying "Describe (filename).RAW" and asking me to enter a file size in pixels. See screen dump on attachment. If I go with its default suggestion it says "specified image is smaller than file; open anyway?" If I click ok, just a portion of the image opens. If I click "guess", the same happens. (see second screendump)
Any help appreciated!
Thanks in advance
Sean
