Why would you want to, Al?  Your camera will have already scanned the image
and produced the digital file.  You will then have to process the raw file
using Canon's software or, even better something like Breeze Browser to
convert it to tif so that your editing software can read it (unless you have
Photoshop CS).  I am not sure whether Vuescan can open Canon's raw files but
even if it can, Vuescan is a poor editing programme unless you have nothing
else.

Hi,

Like many list members I use Vuescan for scanning slides and negs.  (That's
the on-topic bit.)  I've been thinking of getting a small digital compact,
preferably one that outputs raw files (like the Canon S50) so I have the
choice
of how to do the post processing.

I know Vuescan can open and process raw files but I don't know how well.
Does anyone use Vuescan in this way or is its forte still mainly in the
scanning
arena?

Thanks,


Al Bond
