1D Raw set up

Geoff Boughey · Mar 21, 2003

I’ve used a D60 for a year now and I always shoot raw.

My new 1D arrived today and I can’t seem to set it up to shoot raw. In the menu it is set raw only, but when I put the card in my card reader it contains not very good quality (low res) TIFF files. What am I doing wrong?

That is the RAW file.

Look at the image quality setting in your custom functions...you may be set up to shoot jpg + raw.

Pictures can't do the real thing justice, but you gotta' try.

You need to render the image using the Canon File Viewer Utility.

You need to change the quality, the button to the left of WB, to shoot in RAW. The menu setting describes what happen when you shoot RAW.

I'm used to pulling the card from the D60 and into a reader and using YarcPlus to convert to 16 bit tiffs. I guess this workflow is different with the 1D?

ds.photo has it right.

The raw tif has a thumnail embedded - a lot of applications will recognize it and disply the thumb. You need to convert/process the the raw file to produce a editable tiff - using the Canon Software, YarcPlus, Capture One, Adobe Camera Raw, etc...

Very similar to what you need to do with your D60 just that the file ext starts as tif with the 1D...

Sorry, I didn't read your thread carefully.

The TIFF file is the RAW file. The crappy preview is only the thumbnail. You need to convert the RAW file like ds.photo said...

You can keep the same workflow. Just tell Yarc that you are using the 1D. Go to view and click 1D. The TIF file you see is the RAW file with a small tif file embedded. You will see different settings to set then the D60.

That is the raw file!

Now use the conversion utility to process the file.

You needed to install the twain driver on your PC.

The difference is your old CRW file is now a TIF file.

Email me if you need more help.
