Info about previews for RAW files
With some RAW files of some cameras, there may be color tints or image errors in the previews. Your uploaded original files however are not affected by this!
The technical reason for this is that most camera manufacturers do not publish their “RAW recipes”. However, we do our best to analyze the raw data and still display a reasonably correct preview image in your galleries as quickly as possible.
Please note that we have a 25 GB file limit, so a file can’t be uploaded when it exceeds this limit.

* For Photoshop and TIFF files, we recommend disabling the alpha channels in the file so that the image preview can be displayed in picdrop.
** If a PDF has more than one site, only the first page will be shown in picdrop. All other sites can only be seen when the file is downloaded.
