The best way to download pictures (RAW, JPEG, or any other format) from your camera to your computer involves removing the memory card from the camera and plugging it into a card reader (either built-in to the computer or connected via USB). This is likely to be faster than connecting the camera to the computer, and won't run down your camera's batteries.

Once the card is plugged in, it will appear to your computer as a removable drive. You can use the operating system's drag&drop facility to copy pictures from the card to the computer's hard drive, the same way you copy any other files.

Access picture sent to my phone?

For everything you want to view on a computer, tablet or phone, you need a viewer. For pictures in .jpg go .png, you need a Photo viewer. Dow a .PDF, you need a PDF reader and for text you need a text reader. Formatted text, need a word or other reader.
So downloading is not the biggest problem. Having the correct programs (apps) installed is more of an issue.
Check for your device what you need to view the picture. Realise most RAW pictures can't be viewed on phones or tablets, because every camera model has its own RAW format and needs its own translation. For RAW you need even special program's on a computer.
First make sure you can view the file on your tablet, before you start downloading it.

Can't download to Snapfish from computer

Is the camera pictures setup as JPG? Often a camera will have different picture settings and if it's a SLR in a raw format, your pictures will be saved as a incompatible Snapfish format.

I am shooting in raw i cant download pictures properly or get my pictures printed off the the card

RAW images are what it means. You should convert them into a printable format such as JPEG before you can take prints. I strongly suggest that you shoot in JPEG mode to avoid all these headaches!

D70s I shoot raw. Thumbnail picture on LCD is ok. when downloaded to computer have picture is perfect other half out of focus and look like ribbon or rainbow?

When you are using the raw format, you are also taking a jpeg basic photo. The camera display on;y show the jpeg. Most windows programs only show jpg also. In order to view the raw files, you must use s/w capable, such as Photoshop or the s/w that came with the Nikon (Picture View, I think/ Compare both jpg and raw files. If they both exhibit the same anomoly, than more than likely you have a dirty or bad CCD sensor.

CR2 files are created when you shoot RAW files. Your computer cannot read them without a Canon RAW plugin in whatever image processing software you're using.

We took pictures on our Fujifilm finepix S100 in raw format. We now cannot download these pictures to our mac computer. Help please. Our camera is a finepix s100fs

Raw files of any type can be a problem if you don't have a program to open them but, they should download to the computer the same as a jpg file format. Are you attempting to download from the camera to the computer or do you have a card reader plugged into a USB port? Image software such as Photoshop has the ability to open and work with RAW files also with the S100fs when it was bought is a "FinePixViewer" and a program to be able to edit the files. I can't use the Fuji RAW editor because it clashed with another program and I had to remove it. I use PhotoShop CS3 for my RAW files from the Fuji S100fs. Aside from all this it shouldn't stop you from creating a file folder for your image in "Documents" and placing those images in there for future use or editing. If you can download jpg then RAW should be no different.

My 450D thinks it's recording RAW pictures - only JPG on the SD

It is possible that you have set your Camera to RAW+L instead of RAW. Take card out ofb the camera, use a card reader and browse the card using the OS (as auxillary drive) rather than Aperture. I suspect that the RAW files are present, juts not visible on your computer possibly because of some setting in Aperture.

Raw Photos

"AW files are usually proprietary to the camera manufacturer and sometimes to the specific model of camera. That means, only the camera that takes the picture can understand the information collected on the camera sensors. That information is then translated by means of firmware (software) built into the camera and the usual result is a more user friendly format called JPEG."

Understanding RAW Format

Raw image format
In substance many software do not manage Raw format, this is normal. The newer photoshop CS3 can manage some Raw format , depending on the camera.

Photoshop 6 does not read Sony RAW format.
You need to export pictures from camera using jpeg, or to use a converter software if pictures are already on computer, see:
Convert RAW to JPG

Nikon D200 incomplete RAW pictures

If youre using exposure bracketing, especially when raw+jpeg is used, this is saving out massive amounts of data to the memory card. Have you tried using a faster (80x) memory card and/or just using raw alone? You can always make the jpeg at the computer later.
