I loaded the (HORRIBLY SLOW) Canon software, and the RAW files are fine. I *thought* my Capture One Limited Edition software would work with the 1Ds, but it will not. I will have to upgrade to the professional edition. Instead of doing all that, I might just as well upgrade my PhotoShop to CS, which has RAW conversion already in it, including 1Ds. * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
