??? Hello,
I need some help with viewing pictures.
You see....I have a cd of picures that were shot with a canon digital. 2 out of 3 folders I am able to see the pics. The #3 folder is listed as canon msc. When I click it on 119.ctg. It will not let me open. I checked on the file menu on my computer for the properties. It states it is "read only file" ??? I know there are pictures in there somewhere. I also found out it is listed as Mime. It states that dll32 could open it. Any suggestions for how to convert? I need a computer Genie to grant me this one wish!
Thanks a Bunch!

The .ctg files contain internal info - i know not what. If there is a 119.ctg, there should be a 119CANON which contains pictures from 1900 to 1999 normally starting with IMG_ and of type .JPG. They may also start with STA_ thru STZ_, if they are images taken in stitch mode. Some cameras may also have SND_ or MVI_ files for sound clips and movies.
When sorting picture, sort on "modified" not "name" to get them into the most useful order.
I too need some help with viewing pictures.
We cannot open digital photo's with a "CTG" ext
Did you manage to sort out your photo's?
And can you help me?
Please!!
Thanks
Liz

Just pointing this out again as people seem to be somehow missing it. To summarise - *.CTG files ARE NOT pictures. You cannot view them like jpegs.
Digital Cameras create extra files on the memory sticks, cards etc. For Canon they are CTG files. They are not picture files. You will notice each file folder has a number. In the last folder there are CTG files with numbers corresponding to each of the folders. I have been copying files for three years. I always delete the storage files, and have never had adverse effects.
Perhaps a computer geek can explain why there are storage files.
Digital Camera Users, there are warnings about how to delete files from your memory stick, card, etc. because the cameras leave unused files on the stick etc. From my experience, I have used the computer to read the memory stick, either with a USB cord, or a slot. There I can see the excess files. I delete them, and I believe I have clean memory sticks.
Again, a real computer geek can correct me if I'm wrong. Then we'll all benefit.
