Downloading Photographs in Raw Format Quickly


How do I download images in RAW Format quickly to my application (which is Adobe Photoshop 6). I use a SanDisc card reader to download which is quicker than using the camera. Would a self-powered card reader be better and is there is one available for my camera (a Canon EOS D30 ).

Fire wire is the fastest way to get the images from the camera to the computer. It is hadr to find a fire wire card reader but if you see one get it especially for the raw files. I use ULead Photo Explorer to open and look at the files the click and drag them to a new location on the hard drive. After that write the CD right away seems to work faster that way. Tigers Direct has a card reader the installs in your computer that is to work as fast as any other drive you now have built in.

Check the "SanDisc" website for a Twain Driver for your reader. Then you can you use the Import tool (under File) to import into Photoshop.

If they don't make a twain driver, just use the open tool (under file), choose the drive that you assigned to your reader and highlight (left mouse button-hold) all the file names and hit Enter. That will open all the files you selected directly in PS.

Photoshop will support .RAW files right from the card.
