Either I'm daft, or I've got a big problem... Bought a Powerbook on Thursday to use when away from the desk - my first Mac. Shot around 2gig RAW files on the 1DS on Friday and downloaded in my hotel Friday night. Struggled a bit at first as it used iPhoto as the default folder, before I realised that I can just create a desktop folder and drag and drop from the card reader. I also accidentally processed some files straight out of the camera through the Canon software - this might now be a godsend....
When I look at the files in the folder, they all appear to have a horizontal line running through and when processed in Canon software, get corrupted noise out. Tried burning to a disc to view in C1 on my PC, same thing. The same files I have a copy of in iPhoto and I've noticed have separate folders titled 'data' and 'thumbs' The files I processed right out of the camera appear to be OK - there's a 5 gig folder with 31.5Mb tiffs in it, so I hope to be OK with that, however, the powerbook won't see my external hard drive caddy either in USB or Firewire, so I can't get them off the powerbook and don't want to touch them. Additionally, when I try and run C1, the program loads, then at the last moment stops and throws up 'the application Capture One DSLR has unexpectedly quit' I've tried re-installing it, but no go. Of course, the moral of the story is make sure you're familiar with your kit before you use it in anger - something I was all too aware of on Thursday night, but had no choice. Any help, please, direct as I'm in digest mode. Feels like I'm right back in 1987 when I first bought a Windows machine......:-( Neill Watson 01642 781112 =============================================================== GO TO http://www.prodig.org for ~ GUIDELINES ~ un/SUBSCRIBING ~ ITEMS for SALE
