Raw Shooter - WOW

Yes I have tried all combinations of tiff/jpeg/srgb/argb. But my goal is to save as 16bit aRGB tiffs. I am opening these in CS2 which I am assuming is diplaying things correctly. My workspace in CS2 is set to aRGB.

This is exactly my problem, RSE switching display modes. I think it has allot to do with the zoom settings which I outlined in this thread with screenshot.

I could be mistaken but aren't JPEGs only 8-bit with any program?

I am having the same problem in C1. I will have a RAW image open in C1, then the converted tiff open in PS, and they look different. PS one has less color saturation. I will try switching to sRGB and see if that help. C1 has many different options and I am still learning them.

with C1 you have different output options. you can set destination as AdobeRGB, web as sRGB. give it a try. its in the colour menu i think. then when you go to output your shot select the different destinations from the drop down menu.
I took me a while and a few questions here to get it sorted.

Yes My RAW "head aches" seem to have stopped for now. I went to colour management in C1 and made all the settings sRGB and the image looks the same in both PS and C1.

Seems that the reason why my images looked so light and flat was some colour mangement settings.

Having said that I feel C1 seems way too compicated for me. I dont know what the PSCS2 is like but as Im still on a steep learning curve I will continue for now.

One werid side bar is that it seems impossible to change a TIFF 16 bit to a JPG in PS. I have try to make it PSD file and even save to web but no luck. I remeber cursing over this once before but cant remeber how I did it. Seems silly to me though!!!!

Must convert the TIFF to 8 bit (image > mode > 8 bit ) before it will allow you to save as JPEG.

In PS if the working space is sRGB then your pics should look the same as if they were viewed on the web. there is also a proofing view which you can change to simulate different outputs.
C1 is worth sticking with. it seems to work in a slightly different way to some windows programs but once you get the hang of it its produces gret output.
Alot of my RAW shots go through C1 then straight on to the web or to a lab. i do use PSCS2 but i try not to for my "snaps".

Canon's supplied File Utility is very basic. Other programs have more options. I use PSE 3 and I'm sure it's quite comparable to Raw Shooter. When I open a RAW file it automatically gives me it's "auto fix" settings. I do not think Canon's software does this. It only allows changes in 5 different steps I believe.
