"use the DCS format. For some unknown reasons, Kodak decided to make these files TIFF files; but standard TIFF readers cannot access the actual image information - only the thumbnail is available." "A registered version of ThumbsPlus will properly recognize and decode DCS images; however, their extension must remain .TIF, as the Kodak library won't handle them otherwise." - ----------------- I haven't tried it because my DCS460 works fine so far with PS 6 on OS 8.6 on an old Mac 9500, which doubles as my dedicated scanner computer. The latest versions of ThumbsPlus run only on Windows. - -- Jim - http://www.hemenway.com Jeff S wrote: > >snip< > > I'm facing a minor proprietary file-format woe right > now with my Kodak DCS200 DSLR: As far as I know, the > means to control the camera via it's SCSI connection, > and the workings of it's archive files have never been > made public, so the only means of access are via old > Photoshop Twain-aqquire modules which don't work with > newer versions of Photoshop.
