Does Album Ds support RAW format?
Album DS supports files in JPEG and TIFF format, but you will find very usefull a way to indirectly work with NEF ( or any other raw format) files. First convert your RAW files to JPEG format in a fast way using batch method or use the JPEG files provided by your camera if it is capable to save both formats, the you can start to design the album with this JPEG files; please use Album DS scaled mode as this is the fastest method. Once finished the design you only have to convert the actually used (for the album) RAW files to JPEG and correct them if necessary, copy them to the Pictures folder of your album overwriting the actual JPEG files and finally Generate the album using the Album DS – Generate album feature. This will resize the whole album to final resolution and replace any used picture with the “good final” ones. Please take in mind that the file name of the temporary JPEG files and the definitive are to be exactly the same.
