1. Don't use the built in Windows ISO mount, it doesn't work. I downloaded a free trial of Power ISO (beware it has adware that you have to decline in the install) but I'm sure there's other good ones too.
2. Open the ISO in Power ISO or whatever program you chose and Extract all the files somewhere.
3. Download the program XnView https://www.xnview.com/en/ and open the program and go to General -> Preferences -> General and make sure "Show all graphics formats" is checked.
4. Rename all the photos from the extracted files to .PIC and now you can open them in XnView. This is where I stopped because there's too many files. Could probably run a Windows command line or Powershell script to rename to give them the .PIC file extension in in one go.
There's also an extra file in each folder that shows up as 'Form' in Windows 11, I think it may be a text file? I know I saw some previews with the model's ages, maybe it's that. Not sure what the extension would be for that one seeing as it's from an Apple computer 30 years ago. If someone knows a fast way to rename all the files to .PIC (because there's like 800 of em) then I'm sure it could be re uploaded in a much simpler way. |
Thank you for the detailed reply! I'm perfectly happy manually renaming all the extracted files to .PIC (tedium is very much not a problem for me) but I can't for the life of me find an ISO mount that is a. compatible with my computer (running Mac OS X 10.9.5) and b. able to extract any files from the ISO.
If you could post the extracted files somewhere like Mega or bunkr I could take it from there and post the results. I just keep getting stuck on Step 2.
As for the "Form" file, yeah, I imagine that's the models' biometrics, which I'm not terribly interested in
