"Microsoft Internet Explorer 8.0 dropped support for jpeg images saved as CMYK and now only supports images saved in RGB mode..." (Quote from the flikr site)
OK I won't settle down to anything else until I've got something figured out here. I decided as an example to go to a photo I took yesterday of my homemade plant light stand for my fellow Northeasterners who are all bringing their plants in for the winter. I "fixed it up" in photoshop to this:
Here is the original; ATP will change the size, but I'm not doing anything else to it.:
You will need to click on the "thumbnails" here to fully appreciate the difference between the two photos.
And I have just discovered that while Photoshop has always given me a drop-down list of what I want to save this file as, yes, it is actually reading it as JPG. AND one of the options I have (which I never noticed before because I had no idea what it meant and my printer would accept it) is (ta da!) .RAW.
I decided to save this as a .RAW photo -- and discovered that ATP won't read it. So that answers one question. Adobe also gave me this warning: "The RAW format does not fully encode the image mode and size. Among other things, the image may not be fully restored when you reopen the file." So I closed and re-opened the file and couldn't see any change... If I had no other information, I would assume that .JPG (RGB) is a file with more information than RAW...
Unless someone has some new and exciting information we've missed here so far that will create a resurrection, my interest in RAW has just died a natural death. MR
