RAW [PEF] in PHOTOSHOP

vic cross · 2009-12-02T16:43:01+0000

When I have my K7 set to RAW DNG it comes up in Photoshop with no problem. When I shoot in RAW PEF Photoshop doesn't recognise the format? The normal letters/numbers for the file are 100PENTX then each photo has its own number [IMGP etc.] and there is a thumbnail in Bridge. For some reason [Most likely my stupidity] instead of 100PENTX for the file in Bridge it has 100_0212 this being the date the photo was taken. e.g. 100_3011 would be photos taken on 30/11/09 and this is what Photoshop doesn't recognise? In Bridge each photo still has its own number [IMGP etc.] in the normal way but there's no thumbnail just a small icon. When I shoot in JPG I still get this new file number 100_2711 [DATE] but the photos come up in Bridge with a thumbnail and their normal number [IMPG etc.] and they come up in Photoshop both in the normal way and also in raw if I set it up to open JPG in RAW. WHAT-o-WHAT have I done wrong? HELP HELP CHEERS Vic EDIT In Bridge. Inthe folder number and in removable disk it still shows the usual DCIM first. CHEERS again Vic.

Do you need to be space efficient when 1TB drives are £70?!

Yes. The cost per byte decreases as time goes on, but also the size and number of files to store increases.

And don't forget £70 for another 1TB drive for backup! Then £140 for another two when they're full up with K-7 movies! Not a trivial amount of money to me.

Indeed but I also find it in inefficient since a compressed file by the computer are roughly 2/3 of the size so you can have 30% more photos on it that way and if it's a 1TB disks that are thousand of photos so yes worth it since it costs no effort
