I take photos in RAW format which I peel off the Compact Flash card via a reader and then process in Photoshop CS2. iPhoto 6 lists my camera as compatible, likewise my Flash Card Reader. The raw files are in Nikon .NEF format and open correctly in Photoshop. However in Image Capture or iPhoto 6 they will not read. In both cases they are seen correctly but on importing come up with an error message that they could not be imported. This happens either plugged into the camera directly, the Flash Card in the reader of for downloaded files on my hard disk. Has anyone any help to offer on this one please. It would be so nice to file the raw photos straight into iPhoto.

Try BibbleLite from Bibble Labs.Version 4.5. I beleive its free and certiainly converts Nikon RAWs for me without difficulty. Bill

Colin Hi Colin, No Access blocks all access to the item so that users can't open the item, change its contents, or copy its contents. But take note that changing permissions on a folder and all it's contents to 'No Access' to others DOES NOT encrypt the contents of the folder. To change permissions for a disk, folder, or file: 1. Select the item you want to set permissions for, then choose File Get Info and click Ownership Permissions, if necessary. If you want to set permissions for multiple items at once, select them, and as you hold down the Control key choose File Get Summary Info. 2. Choose a permission for yourself from the pop-up menu. If the menu is dimmed, you don't have permission to change this setting. 3. To change permissions for the owner, group, or others, click Detail. If necessary, click the lock icon and, when prompted, enter the name and password of an administrator user of your computer. 4.Choose permissions for each type of user from the Access pop-up menus. Cheers, Ronni Car'n The Pies

Adobes DNG converter great archival format, if Adobe supports your camera within their RAW format conversion plug-in. DNG also saves the original file in its native format untouched, must select in options though. DNG works in most photo manipulation programs, not sure with iPhoto would appreciate confirmation. Captures complete colour spectrum of original file format, so all data is still their and useable. Free and fairly quick even with minimal hardware. Can be a little slow in converting within program of choice though. Also check out Adobe Lightroom a free Beta at moment. Cheers! `Rob... Adobe Website info:- Key benefits for photographers: The DNG format helps promote archival confidence, since digital- imaging software solutions will be able to open your raw files more easily in the future. A single raw processing solution enables a more efficient workflow when handling raw files from multiple camera models and manufacturers. A publicly documented and readily available specification can be easily adopted by camera manufacturers and updated to accommodate future technological changes. Key benefits for hardware and software manufacturers: DNG removes a potential barrier to new camera adoption, since raw files from new models will be instantly supported by Photoshop and other applications. The DNG format allows for RD savings by eliminating the need to develop new formats and simplifying camera testing. A common format allows for greater control over the quality of conversions by third-party applications. The specification allows for the addition of private metadata to DNG files, enabling differentiation.

Internet speed
Hope you are all rested after the Easter break. Can anyone tell me where I look to measure my internet or download speed? Is there a monitor built in? I am supposed to have a 512k ADSL and it is SO SLOW since I upgraded to OSX 10.4.6. The new Intel advert that Glen posted took 40 seconds before the stationary figure appeared and was still stationary after 3 minutes with the bar slowly creeping across. I gave up then. It also takes 70 seconds to download 30 seconds of music from the Apple Store. Lloyd
Re: Internet speed more info
Further information. I checked the Network in the Activity monitor while downloading that Intel ad and it showed 7.9KB/sec. Is that slow? Hope you are all rested after the Easter break.

Your upload speed is normal for a 512/128 I think. My Westnet 512/128 tests as 47 KB/sec down and 11.7 KB/sec up.
