Quicktake Software runs on Classic! I have anasty feeling that you cannot reun Classic on a G5 (but don't quote me on that ...) my QT 150 works on my G3, and then I transfer the images on my flash drive to my G4.

If you go to http://more-information.net.au and send me an email from the "contact" link, I will send you the QT150 software.

The whole package is 10 MB, but there are links on other pages in the forums to the software if you look.

What version of PhotoShop?
Running in Classic or directly in Mac OS X?
What EXACTLY did the error message say?

How were the original files saved and on what machine? JPEGVIEW opens up just about any file I throw at it.

The original files were saved on to a Zip disk and then copied to CD. When I try to open up the files directly from the CD, ( on my G5 running 10.4.8 ) preview opens up and displays a window that reads, "QuickTime and a QuickTake decompressor are needed to see this picture" When the same photo is dragged into PhotoShop 7.0 the same message appears........ When the same photo is opened in my T.A.M. running 8.6 and PhotoShop 5.0 a message reads that there is not enough RAM... Opening it up in PhotoShop 5.0 with traslation, a window opens up like it would if the photo was going to open but instead, it's just blank....... I even installed software for a QuickTake 200 and a window opens up like it would if the photo was going to open but instead, it's just blank...... I don't know what else to do...

Go here and download jpegview. Give it a try.

This might be a newer version although the other said it was updated this year.

for version 3.3.1.

TJ,

Forgive me for not rereading the entire post to see if you have an older system listed, but if you do, try connecting up to a classic Mac and taking a new photo and viewing it. I have forgotten what 'save as' options the original software allowed. Work on getting legacy software to work on legacy equipment to recreate a path to the future.

I will have to look for the original software. It is most likely at school.

I'm pretty sure that the QuickTake 150's file format is PICT which QuickTime dropped support for long ago. You either have to use the PhotoFlash software that came with the camera to open each image and save it as a JPEG or other format.

A better option was QuickTake Drop, software that enabled you to drag and drop the original files and it automatically converts them to JPEGs.

Grant,

Thanx for the link. I knew something was up when Psyko would email and attach photos from his G5 (OSX) that could not be viewed on the pre-mini (OS 9) Macs here. He finally took screen shots of the photos and they came through fine, albeit at a lower resolution.

It was a small program written specifically for converting QuickTake PICT images to JPEGs. Since I can't find the place from where I downloaded it, email me at seanclancyAT(REMOVETHIS)gmailDOTcom and I'll send it to you.
