Hi Dan,

Looking back to an earlier thread of yours you are using Photoshop 7. http://www.worldphotographyforum.com...read.php?t=544

I know Stephen occasionally visits here and may be able to help as he is a photoshop user. I was earlier trying to help someone, also a photoshop user but was not sure if the links I posted were up to much as I use Paint Shop.

I would guess though that you could still play around in the meantime by converting a RAW image to TIFF and then treating the Tiff image just as you would a JPEG in PS7. Your origional RAW file will still be intact and TIFF is a lossless format so it does not matter how many saves you do. Be aware though that the TIFF file will be about 3 times as large as the RAW file. On my plays with RAW that is how I do it.

The next question is can you open the RAW file to do that ?

Don
