I dont think there would be any reason why a raw file could not be resized down for other uses, but it technically wouldnt be a RAW file anymore if any sensor captured data was lost in the process and of course it would be if sized down. some sort of lossless compressed 16 bit format simliar to TIFF would do the same thing... jco

What I want(ed) to know was if there is some way to generate a true raw file, in either a format like PEF or DNG either directly from the camera or by resizing the file in some editing software (without changing to TIFF or JPEG or any other such format) to make it physically smaller, both in dimension and size. As I said, I'm pretty sure I know the answer to that question (No), but I had to ask. Adam mentioned it can be done with one of the Canon models. It would be great if there could be a 900 x 600 RAW file could be generated so it could easily be posted to a web page and people could work on it as some here do with JPEGs (often with the comment that there's not much more they can do because it's not a RAW file).
