copying D10 raw files ...etc.

[haroldboyle]

Just received my D10 after using my d-30 for one and a half years. Because I tend to shoot lots of photos on any given day I've been in the habit of downloading the raw files from the d-30 directly onto a cd from the microdrive using a card reader. Today after taking my first 100 or so shots on the D10 I did the same thing, however I cannot open the raw files in photoshop (as I could before on the d-30). I get a message indicating the files cannot be opened due to missing, corrupted or incomplete data. Is there a reason why the D10 raw files cannot be opened as simply as the D-30 files? I can open the files in the file utility program that came with the camera (not photoshop) however the histogram on the right side of the window appear to indicate that there is some clipping (do not appear to be raw files), before I could work on raw files taken from a cd directly in photoshop for instance in levels, before conversion. Thanks for any help.

I'm not sure what a D10 is but with the 10D you'll need either a hack/edited version of the Adobe Camera Raw Plug-in or the newest version which is supposed to support the 10D or D10 as you like to call it. You can search this forum for directions on how to modify your leagally owned copy of ACR.

If you have the current ACR plug-in then I would assume that there is data corruption happening during the CD burning process. try copying the files to your hard drive and then burning the CD.

Good luck to you

oops, yes I meant the 10D. I'm wondering if the embedded Jpeg in the Raw files are preventing Photoshop from reading the file correctly. I can use the raw files in the supplied Canon File Utility Viewer, but they still seem to have been modifed, I state this because the histogram clearly shows clipped (squared off peaks and valleys so to speak) frequencies before you do any modifications. I'm comparing the 10D raw histograms to the D30 histograms which I'm used to working with and clearly there is some modification from the original Raw file that the software may be doing to display it in the File viewer. Has anyone who went from using a d-30 to a 10D else noticed this? Just from the few raw files I've looked at so far, the color saturation before the file is modified seems to have much less dynamic range then the D30's did at the same moment before modification and that seems to be reflected in the histograms of the raw files.
