Super large cr2 files

4 years 4 months ago #667115 by Gavin-Billington
Took 300 photos this weekend but for some reason they are all above 7Gb per file and cannot be opened. All the files are 2TB in total

Does anyone have any ideo why this happened to just this set of photos.

They're 7GB on the card, or on your computer?

If on the computer, the transfer went wrong. If on the card (which is clearly impossible) you have a corrupted card and unrecoverable.

More details, please.

Large on the pc. Someone blanked the card and took more pictures. I tried to recover lost quite a few but did get some back at 18to20 Mb each so the original copy was to blame.

Yeah, good to know. It seems whenever I print I change the sizing from pixels to inches. If the next time I do any PS work, one of my last steps is cropping/resizing, and when I forget it seems my computer starts cooking....1,000 to 4,000 inches on the long side makes for a large file too.....

D'oh!

Why so serious?
