Default Jpeg embeded in RAW files

Hi

Have just found out that when I take pictures in RAW on my D70 there is a “jpeg” file embedded in that RAW file.

You can set the camera to take RAW + jpeg, but this uses at least 20-30% more space on the CF card.

Using the Extractor software, you can shoot in RAW and extract the jpeg’s to a dedicated folder and view all before opening the RAWS.

These jpegs are not thumbnails but full size pics and can be PS’d in their own right.

Maybe you knew this already, but for those that didn’t the program can be downloaded from the web free of charge.

Cheers

Brian
