Re: Problems reading SD cards
If you put the cards back in the camera can you still see all the photos in preview? Can you use the camera as the card reader? That is, connect the camera to the computer and download from there. Can you download to a non-Windows device, such as a phone? > On 22 Feb 2024, at 20:39, John Sessoms wrote: > > I don't think it's Adobe because I had problems just copying using Windoze > with Adobe not involved ... > > I HOPE it's not the computer because I don't know how I'd transfer CS6 to a > new computer. > > It could be the card reader is getting old.

Re: Problems reading SD cards
Since Win7 was working for you have you considered backing everything up and re-installing Win7? If all you use that computer for is photo processing there shouldn't be a lot of software to re-install. OTOH, if you have a computer running (or able to run) Win10, Win10 has a compatibility mode that you can activate that allows you to run aged games and software. -p On 2/21/2024 6:54 PM, John Sessoms wrote: I spent today doing some maintenance on my photography - making sure I have all of my images copied off of the memory cards onto the computer & batch renaming by Camera Type & Sequence Number ... so that IMGP5432 from the K-2 becomes K3-05432 Part of the reason for this is the default for Pentax Raw files is "IMGP" and a couple of my cameras have rolled over past and the K-1 numbering was reset when I had to send it in for repair after I fell & yanked the screen off the back.

Re: Problems reading SD cards
I don't think it's Adobe because I had problems just copying using Windoze with Adobe not involved ... I HOPE it's not the computer because I don't know how I'd transfer CS6 to a new computer. It could be the card reader is getting old. I looked online for a new reader, but haven't yet found one I like. I found a bunch more files I have to rename to get my catalog in order. Don't know if I'm going to get them done before I shut the computer down to clean it out.
