After fiddling with this for a while myself and trying several different converters I've found one common problem, Donny. And this is most important! As we're all using a hack to produce these images you have to remember--our cameras--in reality don't produce these images. So when we try to use a converter generally many of them also can't see RAW images produced by our cams because they're not supposed to. Its not "on their list"--so most OEM softwares won't access them. It would seem these programs are very camera specific as all RAW files are not the same.
I've found that the UFRaw plugin with Gimp2 opens them. Try converting them to DNGs, that might help with other programs. Look in the other threads. There's one I started a few weeks back that shows my workflow and that seems to work.
Thanks for the contribution but that's not the problem i'm having.
The issue is that when I connect my camera to my PC to get my files off, Windows will only
sometimes display the CRW files, but most times it won't (JPEGs will show up just fine, every time). In cases where it doesn't show my raw files i'll have to take the memory card out, pop it into my card reader, and take them off that way. It's just a hassle having to do that every single time and i'm paranoid about wearing the battery cover out.
donny, you can access RAW files only after you switch your camera off and then on.
What do you mean? Turn the camera on, plug the camera in, switch it off, then switch it back on?
