Canon Raw Converter

[John Tucker]

I've got the Canon CD but don't want to load all the stuff. Which program contains the Raw File Converter?

DPP - Digital Photo Professional. i don't know if it's on their CDs yet, otherwise you probably need EVU to install it.

Don't bother with that program ... go to http://www.pixmantec.com and download their free and much more powerful converter! ASAP!

I'm sorry, I should have been more specific. I need the program that extracts the embedded JPEG from the RAW file.

Both FileViewer and EOSViewer Utility programs extract JPEGs. I think they also both do some RAW conversions too, at least in their most recent versions they do (I think).

if you want a handy tool for extracting JPEGs, i can supply you with my homemade extractor. it doesn't carry over EXIF and needs .net framework, but you can embed it into windows shell and use it via right-click on folder with raw files.

oh, and it's for the 300d.

Thanks, Glenn.

Agreed... though the way it does batch is annoying.

And the pull down WB setting if you know the light is nicer in DPP from Canon sometimes than the sliders or guessing by Raw Shooters.

But overall, Raw Shooters is a better program with better results.

Don't bother with that program ... go to http://www.pixmantec.com and
download their free and much more powerful converter! ASAP!

Awesome program

quickly and easily. Seems like no one ever answered your question, so there it is. Canon's FileViewerUtility, which is also on the CD, is more for just looking at digital images of all types. Load the ZoomBrowser and when you click on a RAW image, it will ask if you want to convert it for viewing. I think that's what you're looking for. I agree, however, that RawShooterEssentials 2005 is a better, faster, program and it downloads free from

http://www.pixmantec.com/products/rawshooter_essentials.html

When you get to their page, it looks like it's for sale, but the download is free and I like it very much. I don't yet have anough experience with it to say whether its really better than CS2 PhotoShop or Canon's own, but I've read that Canon's is kind of low-level. Good luck. jim

Also if you are using PhotoShop Elements 3 or CS you can use PhotoShop Organizer as well

But it says that it is "trial version". Will it expire some time?
Why is it better then Canon's home-made software?

No RSE, is free for ever and will continue to have free upgrades according to the company. I have been using it since its release and IMO it is the best converter out there and I have tried most of them.

I believe that the site says that RSE will always be available for free, but they don't promise that there will be any more upgrades.

They have been saying for quite sometime now that RS Premium which will be sold for an unspecified price is "coming soon."

Michael Tapes has said a number of times that there will continue to be free upgrades to RSE. RSP will be the paid version and have more features.

Yeah, CS2 does a nice job in Bridge. As does RawShooterEssentials, another free download. I kind of prefer CS2.

BTW I was wrong about the Canon FileViewerUtility -- it will jerk the jpegs out of the CRW files too, a little faster and easier than the ZoomBrowser in fact. jim

All I have ever seen is that they will continue to provide RSE for free. Nothing about upgrading it. Here is what their site says:

It was said by Michael a number of times in the forum in reply to others concerns. Bit hard to find, but I am sure it is in there.

Okay, I got it. It's forever free and good.

I found this website:

where there is a long collection of RawConverterSoftware. Not so easy to choose one...
