PM 5 shows false resolution
« on: September 06, 2013, 03:42:54 AM »
Hello,

PM 5 shows the false resolution in the window-title.

This week I made some pics in RAW-Mode with my Canon 1D Mark III.
After ingest PM shows the false Quality in the title of the preview-window.

The Quality is EXACTLY the Quality of the Canon 1D Mark III-sRAW-Fomat, but the Picture has created in RAW-Mode. So it has to be 3888 x 2592 Pixels.  :o

The attached Screenshots shows the problem: The Window-Title shows 1936 x 1288 Pixels (the sRAW-Resolution), but the EXIF-Data shows the right quality "Quality: RAW". See screenshot "reso-false.jpg"
After converting to jpg, the Image will be shown with right Quality. See Screenshot "reso-right.jpg".

The RAW-Preview out of Canon 1D X shows the right Quality.

Hi!

The MK III stores no full resolution jpg in the raw file.

That's the reason for showing the "wrong" image dimension.
On a Mac you have the possibility to enable "RAW rendering". This will give you the full resolution.

Thanks for explain, Sven!

But RAW-Rendering will need more time to show the Image, right?

yes, a bit. And that depends also on the amount of images in the folder.

I also use a MK III and a MK IV. As I am editing more or less every image I don't care of the dimensions shown in PM.
After editing and saving as JPG the full resolution image is saved.

I'm living in Bochum. It's only 35 km far and I've been there many times.

I've been there with my son who is a non-photographer. He get's my 1D Mark III to get some shoots for fun, while I get the "real" shoots with the 1D X.

Greets from Bochum,
