Adobe Photoshop Elements 2.0 software that is supplied with the D300

I see people talking about using RAW mode to take their pictures. With the
300D you get PE 2.0 and of course it is possible to do RAW pictures I'm
assuming. I've seen some comments about a plug in for it. Can I get it
from somewhere as well ? Is it an extra cost or ?
Also, any quick instructions on usage of this would be helpful. If it's a
long drawn out thing to do please say so as I'd like to know what I'm
getting myself into here.

Thanks,

Adobe Photoshop CS lists for $649 (U.S.) and Adobe Photoshop Elements 2.0 lists
for $99.

The Plug-In cost twice the price of Elements ($190 vs. $99) -- not PS-CS.

 

Use Irfanview to view quickly as this handles the canon crw files - the only thing I found
was that it required the files to have the .crw extension to read them (files on CF/Camera
are not labeled with extensions). It`s free too, so you don`t have to worry about spending
lots of money on upgrades ... Zol.

www.irfanview.com & don`t forget to obtain the plugins too from the same site (Z)

 

Just a quick note about my experience with Irfanview (an excellent program,
IMHO)--- it does not actually convert the Canon raw files but rather
extracts the JPG files for viewing.

 

Hi,

I was under the impression that Canon supplied software to read the RAW files
and convert them to TIFF.

I know Minolta has a viewer for the raw images from Dimage 7hi (which I own).

Canon does suuply a proprietary program to view/convert RAW images and
convert them to TIFF or JPG. However, that program is independent of PS
Elements 2. They do not (as this time) supply the Adobe plug-in to convert
their RAW files in PS Elements 2.

 

Irfanview does have an option plug-in for viewing Canon RAW files (CRW), in
addition to extracting the embedded JPEG. You need to copy a list of the
Canon dlls to the CRW plug-in
folder. I haven't been able to work yet but I really haven't tried too hard
: )

 

It`s easy enough - goto the plugins section of the Irfanview site where you can get the crw
plugins with all the files needed to download! Zol.

 

Did that. Downloaded and installed the full set of plugins. It placed
crw.dll in a Crw subdirectory and I copied all the listed dlls per the
readme file.

If I select "Load using FORMATS-plugins...." I get a true RAW image where
I'd expect to get the image "as shot". For example, if I shot under
incandescent light with the WB set to incandescent, I'd expect a color
corrected image.

If I select "Load using Canon DLLs...." I get an error message: "Can't start
CRW DLLs(2)..."

I've installed all of the DLLs as listed into the CRW subdirectory.

Appreciate any help.

 

Hi Steve,

Try either Breeze Browser or Capture One, which are stand alone
programs that convert the RAW files into tiff format. Both work with
the 300D quite well.

They both have a free trial period, with the Capture One being fully
functional for a limited period. The Breeze Browser program will put
a watermark on all the converted tiffs until it is registered.

They both work quite well and are a lot faster than the program that
was provided with the Canon 300D. If I had to pick one, I would give
Phase One's, Capture One a slight edge.
