Getting RAW Files/Pics To Open - Page 3 - Toyota Yaris Forums

I said it earlier.... try picasa and it's free. It will at least open the files and allow you some control.

Thanks.

RAW, as the name indicates, is the raw unprocessed data straight from the image sensor. The jpg files are processed and compressed, and thus are not as "pure" as the RAW file, but they are far easier to work on, so it's always a compromise between convenience and image quality.

someone on here will know this.....

when working with a RAW image in photoshop, I want to crop a photo down then do other editing.....but I have not figured out to apply the crop

Adobe has it's own conversion for RAW.

A RAW is not a JPEG. Rule number 1359 of photography.

In Adobe RAW, which is what P'Shop will throw you into with a RAW file (hopefully), you cannot do anything much but adjust settings - contrast, exposure, gamma, etc. Then you have to go into Photoshop itself to crop and do all the other fun stuff.

well there is a button to crop in Adobe RAW.... I can select the area to crop, but I do not know how to apply that crop

here is a pic of what I am talking about

OK - that will crop the whole RAW file, and you wil not get it back - ever. To use it, simply lay out the crop on the screen as you show, and push the "Open" button. your file is now permanently cropped
If you take the uncropped file to P'shop itself, you can crop using "hide" and the cropped part is hidden in the .psd file, but you can save the cropped version as a jpeg. If you ever want the cropped area back, you can get it back, or go to the original RAW file again.

What happens in PS when you open a RAW file it will create a configuration file that corresponds to a specific RAW file, this config file will have the settings you used to modify your RAW file. To go back to the original unaltered RAW file you simply delete the config file and thats it. Also the cropping will only be applied when the Save command is issued.

Good enough! Thanks for the correction.
