Number sequence out of whack!

[Tintype_18]

Attended a dog show and took 144 photos. Downloaded them from the card to my laptop. OK, so far. When I went to view them. the were interspersed with photos that my wife too weeks ago. Her photos would be IMG.XXXX.jpg but my photos would be IMG.XXXX,jpg(1). Any ideas what happened? Need to check the camera numbering sequence,  Canon T7?

Thanks in advance. BTW, going back to the show tomorrow. Show was in a covered arena with open sides so I had to play with settings. Good experience as I had to watch settings and adjust over/under exposure, f/stop, lens speed, ISO, etc.

Hate to go through all 144 and transfer to a new file. Should have made the file before downloading the card. Live and learn.

RAW files need to be processed.  You can use Canon's DPP (free) software.  Adobe Lightroom, Adobe Photoshop, Capture One, and prob some other software but these are the main ones.

Now by processed, that doesn't mean you have to do any editing.  The above mentioned software will let you view the RAW image with zero or more automated processing already applied to it.  You can then use the software to further edit (all non-destructive; meaning the original RAW data stays as-is).  And then export your images as say JPEG for output to web, print, etc.

Questsion, EB, how do I view the RAW photos? If I go to the File Explorer, they are a "symbol" along with the jpg. If I click on the RAW .cr2, I don't see anything. How do I view them as a RAW only? Thanks.

Download this free MS Windows extension.

It will show you exactly what the RAW file image looks like.

Just open the file folder. All the image files in the folder are Canon RAW files.

Get Raw Image Extension - Microsoft Store

... There!  

They show just as any jpg on my Windows 10, nothing special, computer. Off the shelf Dell with no additional apps or software. Here is what I see ...

Same as me- Dell Inspiron 1500 with no whipped cream or cherry on top. However, looking at  your screen shot, I see a difference.

The top of my screen has the following- This PC > Pictures > Dog show 2021.

Yours shows the D drive, mine doesn't. Difference?

"This PC > Pictures > Dog show 2021.

Same, same!  I simply have an additional 2TB hard drive. Windows 10 labels it as the 😧 drive. It is no different than yours where you have pictures stored on your C: drive.  This is just used as a additional storage space since I take so many photos.

When you shoot professional you are obligated to store photos, or jobs, for a period of time.  This requires a lot of additional HD space. I have four 2TB external HDs for more long term storage.  I keep each cilent's work for a minimum of six months and usually a year or more.

It all depends on the age of the camera.

Cameras post-2019 aren't supported in W10 w/o the RAW file extension. If tintype is opening a folder and seeing icons and not images then he needs the extension (it isn't an app).

I had to install it to see my 1D X III files as images and not icons.

Editing software like Ps, LrC etc needs to render the RAW files before they can be edited, but many simple file viewers simply use the embedded JPEG from the RAW file.

The easiest way to see that is to take a photo using the monochrome Picture Style. If the image is monochrome its the embedded JPEG.

You can actually see that during import in Lightroom. The image will first appear as monochrome, since LR is first using the embedded file. Then, when it renders it it turns into a color image.

"Cameras post-2019 aren't supported in W10 ..."

A Rebel T7 is a 2018 release I believe!

[Tintype_18]

I bought it late 2018.

BTW, the file, the blue spot, I am working on and will deliver to the school and yearbook people is this....

Now you have had three fairly experienced photographers, Ricky, John and me suggest you use Raw. Of course the choice is yours but do you want to remain in the beginner stage or are you ready to move on? Again, you decide, there is no good reason not to.

The explanation by Ricky, above, is spot on.
