Sony Image Data Converter v3 - cannot save as jpg

#795156 - 25/05/2009 09:59

I've downloaded this so as to read and convert my A350 RAW files (versions 1 & 2 wouldn't work).

However, I find that after adjusting the .ARW file, I cannot save as a jpg. In fact, there are no other options to save the file except as .ARW. Also, cannot adjust the compression either (it's greyed out).

Is there some other part I need to download? None of my other photo editing suites read the SONY RAW files.

Click on the icon on the top tool bar labelled RAW (forth from the left) then you will have an option to save as a jpg or a tif and where you want to save it.

You can get it to send directly another program. What image editing software do you have?

Thanks Rog.

Other software: JASC, Adobe CS, Irfanview, Serif Photoplus 6, Picasa 3.

Tend to use the JASC most of the time.

Are there any download tutorials on using SONY's RAW editing (Sony or independent)? The A350 manual isn't that much help, though Gary Friedmans book has a useful chapter.

There's this but it may not be for your version ... still might help.

You should be able to export the image straight to any application from IDC using tools>settings and then adding your program.

As well as the Icon the same process is accessible via File>Output
