But why isn't the object code for dcraw available? There is something called dcRAW-X available: http://www.frostyplace.com/dcraw/ It's an OS X front-end for dcraw. I've never used it. -- Jeremy | |

According to Nikon User :
In article , (DoN. Nichols) wrote: Are there differences between the D70 version of NEF and the D70s version? If not, why can't I import with iPhoto? Presumably there are differences -- though you might try as a test importing images from her camera to see whether there may be a plugin to the program missing. Well, it was already answered that there is a difference, but I couldn't test with her camera regardless; we live about 800 miles apart. Have her take a single image on an old and small CF card, and snail-mail it to you to test. Or have her e-mail you a RAW image, if your mail system can handle something that large. You don't say which version of the Mac's OS you are using. If you are using OS-X, you should be able to download dcraw and compile it, just as you can on a unix system. (Do you have the development system installed in your Mac? It is free, and provides an excelent C compiler, "gcc". I think that it is even on the CD-ROMS which the OS comes on. I have Tiger 10.4.2, and do have X-Code 2.0 installed. But I'm not a developer, so have no idea of how to compile anything. Anything other than Applescripts, that is--and I don't need the development system for that. But why isn't the object code for dcraw available? For which system? It is written for use on linux, and can be used on other versions of unix (I use it on several versions of Sun's Solaris and on OpenBSD). If he were to make *any* binaries available, they would likely be for the system which he uses -- linux. Source code is a *lot* more portable than binaries, since it doesn't care what CPU is used, or what OS, as long as it can support the C compiler and the necessary libraries. He is quite happy for others to make binaries available if they so desire -- but be sure that they are up to date, as he brings out a new revision a couple of times a month, it seems -- as he finds out about new camera models which need to be decoded.

If you own the 10.5mm fisheye, then you can convert the image from round to rectangular. The rectangular image still needs some work to avoid the falling over backwards look. Otherwise, both are a waste of money and time. This can only be done in Nikon Capture, which also does some other neat things, like map your dust spots between sensor cleanings. If you get that falling over backwards feeling from your 10.5 mm lens after being made rectillinear you weren't holding it level. I thought Nikon View came with all Nikon dslrs. What program comes with the D70s? |

According to McLeod :
What is a good Scotts name doing using as a username the Spanish term for "beer"? :-) (I didn't notice the username until my spelling checker popped it up as a candidate for "correction".) [ ... ] I thought Nikon View came with all Nikon dslrs. What program comes with the D70s? Picture Project is the one which came with my D70. There was also Nikon View (or some other program) only as a limited-time program -- just long enough to get a bunch of images embedded in it, and then you have to pay to continue using it. I don't play under those rules. :-) Enjoy, DoN. -- Email: | Voice (all times): (703) 938-4564 (too) near Washington D.C. | http://www.d-and-d.com/dnichols/DoN.html --- Black Holes are where God is dividing by zero --- |

Thanks. Second question: Does Photoshop SE offer enough advantages over GraphicConverter to make it worth the money? I'm not sure what "Photoshop SE" is, but if you meant "CS2", then, yes. Actually, I meant Photoshop Elements. I don't know where I got the "SE" from. There used to be a Photoshop LE (Limited Edition) that may have been a predecessor to Elements. I got a copy bundled with a Nikon Coolscan IV ED. Wasn't eligible for upgrade to the full version, so I ended up buying the full version at retail. I think I've since seen where it can now be upgraded, but the price is about twice the regular upgrade price. |
