Oh the files are there alright but I can't see what they r!! I mean, there's no thumbs, just a white square with 6 'lil blue and red points on it. it's also much lighter than once converted. Only 6MB but when I save it in TIF it's 46MB!!! So it looks like a Zip file or something, know what I mean?? But I'd like to see the thumb to know what RAW image it is so I guess I have to save the RAW image in it's original form but how?!! I sound very unclear here don't I?? I really don't know how to explain this any better! O_o As for teh 16bit I guess I will keep the high res in 16bit then and only convert the JPEG to 8bit. As for ICC, thx for the link Kortalouche. I don't really see the use for it though! I mean, for ICC embedding my images!?
