CR2 Files and PhotoshopCS

Posted: August 23, 2006 - 1:28am

Recently while working in the field i had to use a Canon 350D rather than my own 300D. to save time i offloaded the images using a card reader only to discover that photoshopCS does not support CR2 file formats. I dont have access to the canon software for the 350D and as i live and work in a remote part of Australia just ducking out to the local camera shop is not really an option (1300km round trip). I have updated to the Adobe DNG raw converter v2.4 (as the readme files state that 3.4 is not compatable with CS) and have had no success to date.

Does anybody have any ideas as to how to solve this problem short of purchasing Photoshop CS2

Thanks

Have you tried downloading the Canon Software for the 350D?

One option would be to download Canon's EOS Viewer Utility. You may already have it for your 300D and will need to update it. Use it to convert the CR2 files to TIFF, which CS of course can handle. You lose the ability to edit the RAW image, of course, but TIFF is where you might ultimately be, anyway. You can always covert the TIFF files to JPEG afterward, if you like. Good luck, mate!
