I just bought a Kodac DSC-520 (Canon D2000) and it is 2 megapixels. I do not think there is a way to lower the quality (MP) on this camera but all my images come out at 156X104!!!

Whats the deal???

Did it come with a manual? 156x104 is only 16K, so something's definitely off. If it didn't come with a manual, have you checked with Kodak?

I have the manual and you can change the resolution.... It does from 0 to 10,000. Its on 10,000.

The manual does nto say anything about changing the quality.

This camera puts out .TIF format. A great format because it is not compressed, but not when the images are less than 1/4 megapixel!

The weird thing is the images are almost 2 megabites. Thats the size I think they would be if they were 2 megapixels.

Process the TIF file. Like i said, you are probably seeing the header jpeg for viewing purposes.

My 1Ds outputs .tif files with a little itty bitty jpeg and I drop them into ACR and it opens them. Are you doing the same? Are you using teh software that comes with the camera?

Its all .tif files. No .JPG. Will lightroom convert them?

Im not sure if the software will work on my macbook.
