laybie Posted August 24, 2007 Share #1 Posted August 24, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) I have just acquired an M8 having used Nikon dslr cameras the past few years. I have always used the Nikon View and Nikon Capture programmes to view and edit my photos. I always shoot raw. Is there a programme in which I can preview raw images full screen size in a slide show format. I can't locate this in Capture One LE. I also have Photoshop Elements 5.0 but I'm not familiar with the progamme. I would appreciate some help. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hdrmd Posted August 24, 2007 Share #2 Posted August 24, 2007 Photo Mechanic is very good. Photojournalists use it almost exxclusively. It is very quick and stable. The newest version will preview The Raw image from the M8. Try the demo at: http://www.camerabits.com Regards. DR Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morten Grathe Posted August 24, 2007 Share #3 Posted August 24, 2007 Photoshop Lightroom will do the same. You can download a 30 days trial at Adobe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean_reid Posted August 24, 2007 Share #4 Posted August 24, 2007 I use Breezebrowser Pro and recommend it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro Posted August 26, 2007 Share #5 Posted August 26, 2007 I use Apple Aperture for all my post production and archival management. Would Capture One, since is provided with the M8, deliver something that i am missing? Thanks, Pedro Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtZ Posted August 26, 2007 Share #6 Posted August 26, 2007 I use Breezebrowser Pro and recommend it. Me too! I've using it for years Breezebrowser Pro and Breeze Bownloader Pro. By the way, Breeze Downloader Pro is the best program I've seen for downloading and classify pictures. Ahhhh... they only work on Windows . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guy_mancuso Posted August 26, 2007 Share #7 Posted August 26, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) You can also use Bridge which comes with PS if you just want to view your raw DNG files in a contact sheet look than you can double click and bring into ACR. i use Bridage to actually rename my raw files sometimes. now C1 has basically the same setup too plus a few other programs . This all depends on what you want to do also just see them or actually process from them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are using PS/ CS3 and you have your M8 set to DNG+JPG, you can read in the SD card into your computer (MAC or PC) you will wind up with one image with DNG+JPG on the bottom. Next "select all" (CTLA or APPLE A) and use the CTL+J key or APPLE+J key and the two images will seperate (DNG & JPG). you can than do a quick edit on the JPG's and backarrow when you want to select the DNG RAW image (I figure that you want to process the raw image in photoshop) After processing the RAW image you can than save the new JPG for want ever use you need (printing, transmitting of viewing) All not that hard and the results are great! Good Luck with your M8 Gary http://www.girphotos.com Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
grober Posted August 26, 2007 Share #9 Posted August 26, 2007 Related question: assume I capture in raw, process through Capture One into JPG files and then wish to give several photos on a CD to friends to view. What program can I also load on that same CD that would cause the photos to flow in a slideshow for the veiwer? (Assume a Windows environment all around.) Thanks! -g Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
farnz Posted August 27, 2007 Share #10 Posted August 27, 2007 G, Lightroom can create a self-starting pdf slideshow, which can also compress the images if you're short on space and can tolerate a limited loss of quality. If you have Acrobat writer you can also change the security settings to prevent unauthorised copying of the images using Acrobat's image selection tool. Obviously for a faster workflow you could process your images in Lightroom as well. Pete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
laybie Posted August 27, 2007 Author Share #11 Posted August 27, 2007 Thanks to all who replied to my questions .Really helpful information. I will follow up on Photo Mechanic and Lightroom. I'm delighted with early shots from the camera with the 35mm Summicron. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete. Thanks for the response, Pete. Alas, I don't have Lightroom nor am likely to buy it due to budget and having all I can handle just to coping Photoshop. Someone on another forum suggested Google's Picasa2. Any experience with this? -g Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveB Posted August 27, 2007 Share #13 Posted August 27, 2007 I use Breezebrowser Pro and recommend it. I've always been a big fan of Breezebrowser and Downloader Pro. Do you think we'll ever seen DNG conversion capability included in Breezebrowser Pro? I always miss Breezebrowser ever time I sit and wait for Capture One to load.

leicashot Posted August 27, 2007 Share #14 Posted August 27, 2007 Probably a silly question to some, but why would you use a special RAW converter when PS3 handles RAW files? Is the quality really any better? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
