Re: Newbie Raw Question
I think the file (there is one file? "camera raw.8bi"?) goes into the PS directory, under a subdirectory called "plugins" and then in the "File formats" directory. I'd save the one in there first though, or change its name to old or something.
As for the RAW conversion. With the RAW file, you have "tools" in the RAW convertor (PS or RAWShooter or whatever) that let you manipluate the file somewhat. You're just fixing the lightness, white balance, exposure, etc at this point. You can do some sharpening in the convertor, but I don't, as I save it for later.
Once you are 'done" converting and getting the image to look as good as you can, you convert. You do NOT have to convert ot a JPG. You can convert ot a TIFF if you want.
