Re: Picasa run-around

Re: .NEF RAW files
I can't say for the 5700 but I belive Nikon, for a period of time, decided it would proprietorise its RAW format - encrypting it so that you couldn't use 3rd party RAW converters - only their $200'ish Nikon Capture program - a chronically short sighted move by anyone's reckoning. I don't know if they ever ended up allowing third party developers to access those NEF's but I've got a friend who owns several Nikons and for one of them he simply can't use anything other than Nikon'$ Nikon Capture program I have a Nikon Coolpix 5700 which shoots in the Nikon RAW format .NEF. I believe that the .NEF files produced by this camera and others of its vintage are different from .NEF or .RAW files from later Nikon cameras. iPhoto will not recognise this format, nor will it recognise .dng to which these files can be converted while retaining the raw data. Recognise is the wrong word to use here, it recognises the files and tries to read them then subsequently comes up with an error message.

Re: .NEF RAW files
Hi Severin Mark, I cannot remember where I found this information some time ago. It might be relevant or not. Yes, It appears Nikon encrypts its white balance information in NEF files. I read this about a work around that involves opening your photo twice into Photoshop. First open the RAW file and do your conversions/settings. Leave the converted RAW file open in Photoshop and open it a second time from iPhoto except this time tell it to use JPEG. In Photoshop you'll now have two files open of the same image. Drag the converted RAW image from its window to the JPEG image (that iPhoto created originally). This effectively replaces the JPEG with your converted RAW (in a new layer). Flatten the JPEG image and save it. Since this JPEG was created by iPhoto in its library, it will now be updated in iPhoto. Just close your converted RAW image without saving.

DWG Files
Hi Guys, I have some DWG files that where sent to me by a customer in Dubai from AutoCAD. He is unfortunately unable to provide them to me in any other format so I need to work out something to convert them with. So far, I have been able to find a few XP programs, but they either crash on export and leave great big watermarks over the images. Does anyone know of a piece of software that is either: - macintosh compatible without leaving a watermark (and preferably free) or - windows compatible, free and doesn't leave a watermark?

Re: .NEF RAW files
I wrote to Nikon re. .NEF files, this was their response... Dear Michael, This has been transferred to the Nikon Support section as we are best able to handle this type of question. The Nikon software provided with all the cameras alloows all NEF files to be saved as either a TIFF or JPG. Please refer to the Reference Manual CD for a detailed how to export the images in the formats you require. It offers basic editing features as does several other programs that are out there, eg Adobe CS2 with the Camera Raw. Nikon don't provide the full editing program, Capture NX, as from experience it is better to not have a cover price for all users as our competitor does when only about 5% of all DSLR users use Raw images. The cost of NX is a low $249 RRP if people do want it to compliment Adobe Photoshop or even take the place of most functions CS2 offer. It is a far more powerfull raw editor then CS2 can offer.

Re: .NEF RAW files
Be interesting to see if Adobe's LightRoom handles these files - that's a nice program very powerful RAW processing - as good or better than aperture in most processing respects and more intuitive - though not so good with library management as it can only handle a 1 library with files in a single physical location without re-launching by manually double clicking the alternative library file I wrote to Nikon re. .NEF files, this was their response...

Re: .NEF RAW files
Just some comments on the RAW format problem: I used a Nikon 5700 for several years, and I don't recall having to do the work around which Rhonda mentions below. However, I cannot recall the exact procedure I used to load RAW 5700 files into iPhoto. That being said, it should be pointed out that iPhoto has very limited capabilities with RAW format. Confer: ...iPhoto, of course, is not the professional tool that Raw format users expect. Further problematic, when you import Raw files into iPhoto, the application immediately makes JPEG copies and then applies any edits to the copies, and not the original. This results in the JPEG quality loss problem described above, which is bad. But the user is unaware that edits aren't being done off the original uncompressed file, which is perhaps worse. At least when you import Raw image files into PhotoShop, you are given editing options right up front, and those edits are applied before the resulting file is compressed. extract from: http://www.winsupersite.com/showcase/longhorn_raw_images.asp Vladimir James No broadband in my part of Sawyers Valley -- Severin Crisp wrote I have a Nikon Coolpix 5700 which shoots in the Nikon RAW format .NEF.

Re: Reverting to OS 10.4.9
i had some problems after updating as well as i menioned ~2weeks ago, but i got the lot going 1) after update to 10.4.10 reboot leave the mac for 10-15minutes, screens may remain dark for a long time but listen to the hd noise which confirms the the mac is doing something it may reboots again by itself. (it did it in my case) 2)do not switch off in that time!!! i have less sluggishness usb seems better now on 10.4.10 i think in 15m it should have the screen on again cheers James On 03/07/2007, at 12:22, Michael Hawkins wrote: I installed the combo version of OS 10.4.10 last week.
