Quick preview of 1Ds RAW on a Mac?

james · Feb 7, 2003

Anyone got the solution?

I haven't found a way apart from waiting 30 secs for each one in File Viewer Utility.

I have a 550 Mhz Macintosh tibook and there seems no quick way to see previews of the raw files. iview media pro only gives small previews, photomechanic has pixellated fuzzy previews, and the canon software is very (agonizingly) slow to generate a preview. Capture One not out for Mac yet. Rats.

(Also, I must say I find the menus very NON-intuitive on the back of the 1Ds after using the d60.)

And my hip pocket is still aching.

SHoot Raw and Jpeg. My Mac is dead slow aNYWAY (800MHZ) so I shoot both and preview the shots (if on mac) using the jpegs. If I'm going onto my PC I use C1 so it's not an issue, I delete the camera derived jpgs. If shooting volumes this is a pain. I can hardly wait for commercially available 3gb cards.....

A mindstor or the like is a must for volume..

Any suggestions welcome

I shoot plants and would dearly love to use scientific names for the filenames.

I need a batch renamer that can handle long long filenames.

Iview has a limit of 31 characters and Photomechanic is similarly limited.

I want a fileviewer that can rename files such that they end up looking like this:

Brunfelsia_odorata_subsp_odorata_cv_Browns_Variety.tif

I shoot thousands of varieties of plants and this would seem to be the logical way to organise them so that the computer would sort them alphabetically

Thanks mate.
I have already thought of that. But it does eat up the card quick.

I am seriously thinking of jumping to PC for my desktop, only because high end cameras seem better supported by the PC software. Much as I love Mac, it is getting to be a millstone around the high-end digicam photographer's neck!!!!

Have a look at ExifRenamer at http://www.qdev.de

i made a classic boo boo when I dropped an entire volume on this baby and 40gb of excel s/s, word docs and 17000 photos go unceremoniously renamed... funny really...

so use carefully....

That sounds like something I would do(I'm still laughing!!!)

Another trick with the 1Ds is you can make the attached small jpg even more compressed in the parameters menu item, just program a new Set. This jpg will take up less room.

I made a Quick Keys command which lets me toggle quickly from the Thumbnail view in the Viewer Utility to the JPEG preview mode.

Another good bet for a file renamer is: FileRenamer, its freeware, you can find it at:

LOL as well

And exifrenamer sounds like something only a fiendish german could invent, it renames the files with day_date_year_hour_minute_second.jpg not really useful to me at all I'm afraid.

I believe the latest version of exifrenamer has a lot of flexibility in what comes out as a renamed file. I mean, I thought from the latest he sent me during beta it has the ability to pick, choose, and organize the shape of the rename function.

send a note to the author and ask for him to add an undo function. I believe he will have no problem doing it and it will bring this utility into the elite group of photographic tools.

... iview media pro only gives small
previews....

I use iView MediaPro with my D30 raw files and when I press the MEDIA tab, instead of those cute little frames that look like slides on a slide viewer, I get full screen snorkelations of the raw files. It's what I use to verify my CD has been burned properly. I'm not sure if it will be fast enough for you with the D60 files, or if it knows how to decode the D60 raw. It should by now.

James, take a look at Cameraid. It's got some nifty batch renaming functions once you get into it, not sure if it's got the same 31-character limitation as the others, though.

... but if you set the jpeg to a low engough level it doesn't hurt too much! And I use the jpegs as my electronic proofs to send to customers (cropped and resized).

I only 'process' the ones that they buy (or ones that would look nice in my portfolio!)

29 lbs. of Canon stuff in a backpack that I carry everywhere. A closet full of things that are banned in Britain. A minivan and a Fender Stratocaster. A three bedroom ranch with three owls on an acre. An aversion to rumours. Also, absolutely no Canon 1200mm f/5.6. Yet.

Hello James,

what about graphic Converter?

Thanks max, as far as I can see with CameraAid would need to put the pics in separate folders to rename them, which would get nightmarishly complicated. I deal in lots (thousands) of plant images that need to be named. It would be best if it worked like i-view, where you can select a group of thumbnails and batch rename. Bummer about the character limit in an otherwise excellent program.
