CRW & DNG files load 1/4 of their size.

Post by stevvie »

I have just started using RAW mode on my camera and noticed that CRW & DNG files load at around a quarter of thier size. The JPG files should be 3264x2448 but XnView seems to load them at 1649x1236. I have set options/read|write/read/ camera RAW to high resolution and that didn't help. I have also tried options/browser/preview Camera RAW to Full that also didn't help. Is there a way to load CRW/DNG files at full resolution. I know they are 3264x2448 as thats what Picasa and Photoshop report them as.

Thanks

Go to Tools » Options... » General » Read/Write » Read » Camera RAW » Parameters and tick the checkbox for High Resolution.

Aren't you saying the same thing? :wink:

To view RAW in full size you need:
A. Tick "High resolution" in Read/Write >Read >Camera Raw (as everybody already said... :mrgreen: )
...and depending on how you view your images:
B1. Use Preview >Camera Raw: "Full size" for fullscreen view (shares most settings with preview)
B2. Use View >Misc >Camera Raw: "Full size" for normal edit view.

Thanks it was the setting in preview that worked but now instead of taking a second to load it takes almost 10 seconds to load. In that Time I can fire up Photoshop and load it in there :(
