| Problems w/RAW images in iView & Portfolio? |
|
Andrew R. asks: In iPhoto and now iView, and Extensis Portfolio (both of which I have been using the trial versions, 18 days left, have any advice?) if I open the RAW image in PS and make some adjustments, I can never see the results in the management software. I've tried 'updating', 'rebuilding', etc., yet nothing works. Without being able to see the changes it seems that my workflow is stymied.
Answer: It has more to do with the fact that those other programs do not use the camera raw plug-in and therefor can't produce the same results (one day they might program to read the preview that the file browser creates but I don't know of any that currently support it). The only solution I can think of would be to save your images as Digital Negatives (.dng files). I believe the newest version of iView supports that format and should be able to read the preview image that therefor display the results of any camera raw adjustments that you make in Photoshop. |
