New here need some help
« on: 26 / December / 2008, 20:01:23 »

I have a Canon S3IS and just installed the CHDK for the camera however, when I import my images into either iPhoto or Aperture 2 neither program recognizes the format or the images. What do I need to do to get these programs to recognize these images??? Is there some setting in the camera I need to change???

Anyone???

Thanks Lou

Hello & welcome, Lou !
- the JPEGS are unchanged, they are always the same, with/without CHDK
- the RAW images (with DNG support disabled) needs to be converted with DNG4PS-2 into the DNG format
- if you have enabled the DNG support in CHDK, the RAW images are still saved in the DNG format, maybe you have to rename them to .dng.

*EDT: if the images are already in DNG format, this information may be helpful:

...DNG files (both from the camera and DNG4PS) are 10 bits per pixel. It appears that not all DNG applications support this format. You can try importing with one that does, and converting it to 16bpp.

After DNG4PS2 DNG files are 16 bits per pixel.

Thanks for the responses.

I tried to enable??? DNG in the menu under RAW parameters, DNG Format, but when I try to enable DNG Format I get this error message: Cannot load CHDK/badpixel.bin Please run CHDK/SCRIPTS/TEST/badpixel.lua

Additionally I could not exactly figure out how to download and get the converter running.

I am also wondering if I will need to convert the images prior to using Aperture or iPhoto??

Thanks again Lou

--> run the script badpixel.lua, it's included in the complete download package, you'll find it in the CHDK/SCRIPTS/TEST/ folder
--> goto the CHDK script menu, select "load script from file...", goto the TEST sub folder & select "badpixel.lua"
--> then start the script with the shutter button - the script will take 2 shoots, the screen is black for some seconds, then press SET to save the badpixel file as stated in the display...

If you enable the DNG support, you don't need to convert the images, most apps could open the DNG files directly.

You can wait until they occur there magically. Or just use the full zip package and extract it to the sd card..
