Hello all, I'm new to this forum and this question has probably been asked before but my 'search' skills are a bit lacking. I have a Canon Rebel T3i. I took a series of photographs in Canons CR2 raw format. I had hoped to use the raw files in DSS. When I tried to open the raw files in DSS all I got was a thin vertical black strip. I tried DSS beta version also and still got the same results. Is there a simple (I'm not a computer genius) way to convert the Canon raw CR2 format to a format that DSS will recognize? It is my understanding that if you convert a raw file to tiff file to make it usable in a program, i.e. DSS you do lose a certain amount of post exposure processing control, maybe not the 'amount' of data in the file, but how your able to use or manipulate some of that data. I was unable to find any information in the DSS help menu about this. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Tim
