Converting RAW Images

Images shot in the RAW format (hereafter RAW images) are recorded without the image
quality being reduced by signal processing or lossy compression. Please refer to your
Camera User Guide to learn how to set the camera to shoot in the RAW format.

High-quality RGB images can be obtained from RAW image file data. When a RAW
image is converted, you can also choose to adjust its quality settings to obtain an image
of a higher caliber than if it had first been loaded into image editing software.

Please note that ImageBrowser or the Plug-In Module are required to load RAW images
onto a computer.

Converting RAW Images without Adjusting the Quality

1.

Select a RAW image.

Select a RAW image from the Thumbnail Display Area of the Plug-In Module.

2.

Click the [Acquire] button.

The image will be converted and sent to Adobe Photoshop LE at 8 bits per RGB.
To learn how to change the file transmission format, please see “How to Change
the File Transmission Format” on the next page.

Converting RAW Images with Quality Adjustment

1.

Select a RAW image.

Select a RAW image from the Thumbnail Display Area of the Plug-In Module.

2.

Click the Plug-In Module [RAW] button.

The RAW Image Parameter Settings dialog will display.

3.

Select the quality settings and click [OK].

When an image is adjusted, the “RAW” symbol shown on its thumbnail will
change from white to green. If multiple RAW images are selected, the parameters
are applied only to the first image. When only one RAW image is adjusted, the
changes are also reflected in the remaining images in the selection.

4.

Click the [Acquire] button.

The RAW image will be converted according to the specified parameters and the
data will be sent to Adobe Photoshop LE at 8 bits per RGB channel.
To learn how to change the file transmission format, please see “How to Change
the File Transmission Format” on the next page.

• The image quality settings return to the default settings when the Plug-In

Module is closed.  The settings will also be reset to the defaults if the connection
to the camera is broken, or if the Plug-In Module window is refreshed as a result
of an image being shot or deleted with the camera while it is connected.
