Hans Roggen Posted April 12, 2007 Author Share #3  Posted April 12, 2007 I still get the small previews and that loupe thing doesn't work on the M8 files. It works fine with my Canon files though...  Hans  edit: i should ghave switched to: 'use raw data' instead of the embedded jpeg. It works. A little slooooow, but it works.

Patrickxyz Posted April 12, 2007 Share #4  Posted April 12, 2007 Hans,  I get the small previews, too, but I can at least zoom in. In that case, the GVPE will decode the DNG (hasn't done before). As soon as I go back to the zoom window size mode (hope, the translation is correct, in German it's "Zoom Fenstergröße"), I only see the small preview.  Having zoomed in, the loupe does work for me.  Patrick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dspeltz Posted April 12, 2007 Share #5 Â Posted April 12, 2007 Has Epson done an update for the P5000 or 4000 that you know of? I have not seen one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidigital Posted April 12, 2007 Share #6 Â Posted April 12, 2007 The Epson question is a good one. I'm trying to decide between the Jobo and the Epson. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
harmsr Posted April 12, 2007 Share #7 Â Posted April 12, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) I talked to both Epson & Jobo at PMA. Â Epson said that they have zero plans to support the M8 with their viewers. The quote was that it is just not a big enough market for them to address. Â I spent quite a bit of time with Jobo. They took copied an SD card full of images from M8 so that they could use these files to set-up the evolution to work with the M8. The promise was that they would make it functional with the M8. Sounds like they lived up to their promise. Â Best, Â Ray Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dspeltz Posted April 12, 2007 Share #8 Â Posted April 12, 2007 The jobo has a slot for a cf card but not for the card the m8 uses. how are others downloading m8 files into the jobo? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
harmsr Posted April 12, 2007 Share #9 Â Posted April 12, 2007 As a PS., I also talked at length to the makers of Expodisc about the M8 at PMA. Â I showed them the issues with Auto WB and how badly a solution to manually setting WB quickly was. They wanted a demo on how to manually set the WB from an exposure on the M8, which I showed them. We then played with several of their larger sizes that covered the lens and we saw the improvement. Â The end result was that they said would produce a 46 mm size for sure and probably a 39 mm size for us M8 users. Â More good news. Â Ray Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
harmsr Posted April 12, 2007 Share #10 Â Posted April 12, 2007 David, Â All you need is a CF card size adaptor which accepts the SD card. Easy to find. Â Best, Â Ray Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
