Photo Forum / Digital Photography / Digital Photo / June 2006On-line photo album Canon RAW format
Dear all Do any of the on-line photo albums support RAW format ? I have checked flickr and photobox, unsuccessfully Many Thanks Simon > Dear all > > Do any of the on-line photo albums support RAW format ? > > I have checked flickr and photobox, unsuccessfully Who is going to sit and wait for a 8.7 MB image to load? Web browsers don't support RAW, so again what is the point? There really is no need to display a web image any larger than 700-800 pixels on the long side. > Dear all > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > Many Thanks > Simon I would be extremely surprised if they did. Raw is not meant to be a Format for displaying Images. There is no Standard for Raw, each Camera maker has their own. It is a means of getting a better quality image OFF your camera sensor. It needs to be converted to a standard Format, (Tiff, Jpeg or whatever), before being displayed or printed. Roy G > Dear all > > Do any of the on-line photo albums support RAW format ? Of course not. A RAW is not yet a picture; it's binary data. >> Dear all >> >> Do any of the on-line photo albums support RAW format ? > > Of course not. A RAW is not yet a picture; it's binary data. This is not strictly true of course because both jpg and raw are binary data!! Both formats are used to represent a real picture on a computer screen or to print to a piece of paper. However it would be better to view a raw image representing a negative on an analogue camara and a jpg the final print. It is easier usualt to change things on the negative whilst printing than when the photo has been printed to paper. I shoot in RAW all the time then I use gimp+udraw to convert to jpg then send emails or post to websites with the jpg. Simon I know that Picasa supports the Canon Rebel XT. I don't know about support for other Canon RAW formats. But, if Picasa can read your RAW files, then you can use it to batch convert your pics to JPGs and then you can just upload them to a site. In general, you can probably post a RAW file to some sites; but nobody will be able to view it unless they first download it and then open it up with a separate viewer. Kevin > Dear all > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > Many Thanks > Simon > Dear all > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > Many Thanks > Simon Why in the world would you want to post a full resolution image to an online photo album anyway? It would take forever to load on dialup and the image size is overkill for internet display. If the album doesn't automatically resize the image, you end up scrolling around to see the entire image - very annoying. I usually don't post anything larger than 800x600. To answer your question, I'm certain there are no online albums that support raw. Mark > Do any of the on-line photo albums support RAW format ? PhotoShelter will allow you to store raw format files. I haven't used it, so I'm not sure exactly how it works, but I imagine they just display the embedded JPEG preview. http://www.photoshelter.com/tour/feature/archive  SignaturePosted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |
