Ok, I give. With the camera set to RAW, on my 1Ds, the images are only 2X4 inches at 100%. You try to enlarge them and they turn to junk. What am I missing? Should I set for RAW and JPEG-L?

Are you looking at the RAW file or the small JPEG that is embedded in the RAW file. (A small JPEG is embedded even when you select to capture only RAW images without large or medium sized JPEGs.)

What program are you opening the files RAW files with.

... What version photoshop?

You need to install the software that came with the camera, or get a third party application that can handle RAW files and conversion.

Unless you have Photoshop CS ( 8 ) Photoshop will not be able to read the RAW files.

Ver. 7. I'll try the Canon software. I was hoping not to have to use some other piece of software, but alas. Thanks :-)

make sure you're looking at the memory card where the RAW files are written. the eos-1d series can write a RAW file to one card (e.g. SD card) and a JPEG to another (e.g. CF) simultaneously.

the RAW files will have a ".CRW" extension. on a 1Ds they should be more than 10 megabytes each.

What's the extension of the files? JPG? THM? RAW? Other?

I think you need PhotoshopCS with the ACR plug-in (I read somewhere that newly purchased versions of PhotoshopCS seem to come through with that plug-in's capability already installed) to work with the Canon 20D .CR2 raw files.

Or you can install the DPP which came with the 20D and use that to get things right, and then save as jpg to open in Photoshop7 for further processing. When you install the Canon software, go to the Canon website to download the latest versions -- DPP should be 1.5, a big improvement over the original that came with my 20D back in October.
