I downloaded the ERF files posted on the site. This is the first time I've had any kind of RAW file to look at and use the CS RAW convertor. Most of the controls make sense but I have a question on file sizes from R-D1s.
The RAW file should be as big as the camera can shoot right? So the files as downloaded are for an 8x12 print at 240dpi. Is this as big as they get? At the bottom of the CS RAW window are different resolutions. I forget the numbers of the ERF files but can you just pick a bigger size and or change the print dpi to 300 or 360?
They are also 8 bit. I though they would be 16 bit.
I was just surpised that the RAW file was so small. From my scans of 35mm film with a 5400 Minolta a 16 bit image for printing at 360dpi is much larger. 12x18s are @170megs . How could you do this with the R-D1 or could you expect to?
I'm green when it comes to digital files as they come direct from cameras and I want to know more.
Thanks
Neil
