Good day,

I have taken delivery of a Canon EOS 9 D, a great little camera that suits me well.
The RAW files generated a bit of excitement though.

This camera uses Canon’s new RAW format CR3, it is unlossy. The format itself seems very good with plenty of data available. The format does not run on any of my processing programs other than updated Canon Digital processing. My coal fired laptop is not suitable for Lightroom. I am not in a position to replace my laptop at the moment.

The images can be converted to another file, TIFF, JPG etc. The TIFF files are huge. Some 94 - 139 mb. Is there a way to reduce the size of the TIFF images?

I use Luminar and Corel Paintshop software, neither will open CR3 files. Maybe use JPG only until the laptop is replaced.

Has anyone dealt with this and how did it work for you?
Thanks and regards, Journeyman
