Not sure if I'm expecting too much. I've used Canon's EOS Utility to do Remote Shooting.

I can get the images sent straight to a folder fine.:thumbs:

What I would like to do is to have the most recent image to be shown full screen.

I cant find a way of getting Digitial Photo Pro or Zoom Browser (the two utilities that come with the canon software) to display the image full screen - without double clicking it :thumbsdown:

Anyone had some success with this?
 
I know it is possible in Lightroom, but I don't have much knowledge about the Canon software...
 
You can't as far as I can find out get the Canon software to display the image full view as standard. The only thing you can do is to get it to display as a large thumbnail. To get it to go full screen you have either to double click on it of select Edit.

This is the reason I use Lightroom as preferred choice for teathered. It will drop the images into full screen for you. Much easier if you are trying to check on lighting etc.
 
You can get the EOS Utility to display in a full size window, if that helps. When you take your first shot, the preview window opens as a medium sized screen. Just maximise the screen and every subsequent shot will display as a preview in that window at full size. I was doing it last night.

I didn't install Zoom Browser or Digi Photo pro, I'm just using the inbuilt preview browser of the EOS Utility.
 
neo2810 - this sounds exactly what I want to achieve.

How do you get EOS Utility to display in a window?

Under preferences, on the Linked Software tab, in the 'software to link' drop down I have selected None (instead of DPP or ZoomBrowser) but I cannot get anything to open up automatically when I shoot remotely.

I open the folder where the file is uploaded to and can see the files appear there. However, I cant get the image to preview.

What program is being opened on your system, is it a windows explorer window?
 
Hi mate, sorry I've just noticed your post...

I'll have to check when I get home, but I believe I just opened the EOS Utility (no other apps open) onto the "Remote Shoot" section and when I take the first shot, it opens in a preview window. Maximise that and leave it open and all shots will appear full size in that afterwards. I don't save the shots anywhere, they preview directly off the CF card on the camera (which is connected to the laptop via USB cable). There is a preview button near the bottom of the EOS Util if the window doesn't open automatically I believe.

Only after the shoot will I transfer shots across to a folder for Lightroom importing.
