? ,,,,i can not up load to photobucket ,,
could anybody help me out ,thanks
 
.psd is a photoshop file and can't be viewed on the web. You have to open the .psd file with photoshop and save it as a jpeg before you upload it to photobucket. Hope this helps.

Could you maybe expand on that a little? I was looking at that today on my EOS. Never having taken a RAW image before maybe a little instruction would be helpful.:oops: :oops: :oops:

i agree .....now say it in English dood :lol::p.
 
RAW+jpg means the camera snaps both a jpg and a raw for each exposure. If you're planning on loading it into photoshop immediatly, its a bit of a waste to do the +jpg part of it.

Once you have the PSD (Photoshop Document), you need to Save As the image as a jpeg in order to upload the image anyways, as a photoshop document is proprietary and more or less uncompressed.

So, if I upload it with the EOS software, I should be able to take care of business then. If I understand it correctly, I should be able to separate them and then take the RAW image to photoshop and deal with it there?
Can I also mess with the jpeg in photoshop??
 
RAW is basically that... raw format. Most generic programs (internet) need file format such as JPEG. JPEG is a compressed file format so the file size is much smaller than raw. It is a good idea to save your RAW file as it contains all of the original data. With compression, the software reduces file size by converting pixels with like colors to the same. A little compression is not noticeable but alot of compression will degrade your image tremendously. This is important if you want to eventually print a pic larger than just a 4in by 6in.
 
if you took a shot with raw+jpg... then it will create two files. image01.raw and image01.jpg.

You can transfer these files via usb connection or via card reader. You can use the jpeg instantly for upload in websites and keep the RAW file for further editing and safekeeping.

Unless you are taking a very serious/competition type of a shot then you dont need to take RAW shots. Its a bigger size compared to jpeg thus means it writes slower too in your camera/card.

The only advantage of RAW is you can manipulate the images more than of a regular jpeg. And thats it. If you plan well, then you dont need to manipulate your shot later.

Always create a copy of the original shot. So if you mess up doodling with the image then you can always go back.

Hope this helps.

I'm going to have to disagree with this. You don't need to be taking very serious/competition type of shots to use RAW, you just have to want better pictures, period. If the camera has the ability to produce better shots when using RAW, it would make no sense to not take advantage of it. It's very little work to process a RAW and looks much better than the original jpeg.

If you plan well, then you dont need to manipulate your shot later.

You can't plan for everything. Processing a RAW will give you a sharper image, better color, less noise, and just about every advantage over a jpeg which are all things you can't control. Learning how to process a RAW will bring out the most of any picture.
 
No prob Charlie.

Blazer if you put it that way... then i definitely agree with you.

Its just sometimes.... using RAW takes critical seconds on my camera and most of the time I loose composition. Specially when doing several frames per second shots to steal the moment.

Yep that is a camera limitation but all things being said, taking a RAW + JPEG is the best of both worlds. I like RAW + small JPEG.
