scrambled RAW images
This problem has occurred on two different Apple machines. It occurs on Preview, Adobe Bridge, and Photoshop.
A friend has a Canon 20 D. I have a Nikon D1X. His raw Canon images work fine on his home computer, but come up scrambled on mine. My RAW Nikon images work fine on my computers. His images are fine on the viewfinder of his camera, both before and after they appear scrambled on mine.
The nature of the scrambling is that 80% of the thumbnails are fine, but 20% have a few bad lines at the bottom. However, nearly all of his images are blurred beyond recognition when enlarged to the working screen.
Footnote: In looking around, I find it said that Canon RAW is 6 megs large, while Nikon is 9 megs large, or 3 megs when compressed. This suggests to me there is some switch to tell these programs which type of RAW they are encountering, and somehow I can't find that switch, or it's automatic and jammed, or once it is set it doesn't know to reset itself. But that's just my floundering guess.
