Not sure where to post this, am a Pro Acct and its a sales related Q....
I have a client that wants me to shoot his classic/custom motorcycle for submission to a UK Publication, however they require Raw files on DVD/CD
- Now I'm shooting with a Canon 20D (very happy with, also) but have never shot RAW as of yet,
I do have the Canon EOS digital 'solution disc' that alegedly will allow me to download the RAW files (?)
My home system iMac G5 1.6 g 17" w/1.25 gig ram and PS CS,(and recent add. pantone eye one LT - thanks Andy)
(however i do have access to g5 quad w/PS CS2 if need)
I guess my question is a kind of workflow related as to 1)download / 2)?? / 3)burn to DVD my Raw files I'm sure that step '2' is the big unknown can i do minimal processing' and just burn -since raw will be supplied to them they can still adjust/tweek??
any suggestions would be greatly app.:bow
note: the shoot can/will be approx 50-100 images with very similar exposure - should minimize ind. post(?)

Thanks,
rich
(clearly i don't have a clue!:dunno )

    you have the software from Canon - use it :)
    3)burn to DVD my Raw files
    insert DVD into your burner on your Mac. Drag files to the icon on desktop :)

    I'm sure that step '2' is the big unknown can i do minimal processing' and just burn -since raw will be supplied to them they can still adjust/tweek??
    wanting the raw implies they will do EVERYTHING so, I wouldn't worry too much. But if you need some help, here's a start:
