Title: Q: How to copy Hasselblad 3FR from Imagebank without converting to 3f?
Post by: MyEcholalia on September 20, 2009, 12:53:51 pm
Hi all,

I am sure missing something, but for the life of me I cannot figure out how to copy 3FR files (shot with an Imacon 132C back) from my Imagebank to another hard-disk. Would love to try the latest Adobe Camera RAW on them, but the Imagebank can only be seen by Phocus, not as a drive by my Mac. And in Phocus I can only find ways to import but at the same time convert to 3F. What am I missing? Any help would be much appreciated!

Best regards,
Thorsten

The 132C shoots FFF not 3FR files. So no ACR for these backs (I have the multishot version), unless a future version will support FFF.

Wim, thank you very much for your answer. Strangly, I do see the files on the Imagebank in Phocus' browser labeled as 3fr... But maybe that's just a small bug in Phocus for such an old back. Again, thanks for your answer. I guess I can stop searching now.

Regards, Thorsten

My camera does not show up as a device on my (Snow Leopard) mac - so I cannot save 3fr to mac without using a card reader... is this right?

Can you not drag/ copy the files using Phocus's browser into your Mac's HD? Most if not all other raw editing apps allow this...

yaya answwer is correct. That was the technique I used to copy the fff files from my v96c. This was with the earlier version of the software: Flexcolor, so I don't know if Phocus will work the same way. From the import pane in Flexcolor it was possible to select and drag the fff files to a folder in my mac.
