I have Photoshop CS2 loaded on a laptop, and all works fine, except slow. I reloaded on a machine with more RAM, bigger HD, but now CS2 seems not to recognize RAW files. Same copy of CS2 from same installation CD on both machines. What gives?
Which camera? You probably need to update ACR to the latest version - check the downloads section on Adobe's website, and follow the instructions, and it should work fine. Victoria www.photoshopservices.co.uk
ACR 3.3 must be installed exactly as instructed - Program Files/Common Files/Adobe... Otherwise, ACR will work, but you will not see thumbnails in Bridge.
My copy of CS2 suddenly stopped recognizing RAW files after doing so just fine for several months. I checked in the above plug-in folder and the ACR plug-in had vanished. I downloaded a new one, put it in there and everything worked fine again. Yeah, I know, plug-ins don't just vaporize......
