Although the data is compressed when recorded, the original data can be completely restored without any loss of quality, making it possible to obtain high-quality images. Moreover, the RAW image file format is extremely compact, creating files that are approximately one-third to one-quarter the size of an uncompressed file (RGB TIFF). Please refer to your Camera User Guide to learn how to set the camera to shoot in the RAW format. The process of obtaining high-quality RGB signals from RAW format images (hereafter RAW images) is called "conversion. " Since TWAIN Driver can be used to adjust the attributes of the original data, you can achieve the effects you wish while maintaining high image quality. · The [Linear] option is only enabled when [TIFF 16 bits/ channel] is selected as the file format. Preview Area Displays the image in the Preview Area at full size. Resets the image quality settings to the state in which the image was shot. · The image quality settings are restored to the default settings when the TWAIN Driver is closed. The settings are also restored to the default settings when the connection with the camera is broken off, if an image is recorded or deleted by the camera while connected to the computer, or if the TWAIN Driver window is refreshed. Selecting and Adjusting the Attributes of Multiple RAW Images Ensure that all images included in a multiple selection of RAW images are from the same camera before attempting to adjust the image attributes. The white balance will not adjust properly if images from different cameras are mixed and the [Manual] white balance option is selected in the RAW Image Parameter Settings dialog or if a white portion of the image is selected in the preview area. How to Change the File Transmission Format 1. Click the [Preferences] button in the TWAIN Driver window. Change the transmission format in the [Send RAW image data to the application] option and click [OK]. Transmitting in the TIFF 16 Bits / Channel Format When [16 bits per color channel] (supported by the EOS D30 only) is selected as the transmission option for RAW images, images can be transmitted to the application at 16 bits per RGB channel. Although colors are expressed more vividly with the 16-bit setting than the 8-bit setting, the file size increases dramatically. Moreover, some image editing applications function only partially with files of this format or cannot open them at all. Windows 52 Troubleshooting the USB Driver Installation Check This First 1.
