Photshop 6.0 won't open Canon raw

[carl_cocch]

I have photoshop 6.0 and it won't recognize or open Canon raw format. Is there

a way around this or do I have to convert to jpeg. I'd much rather work with

raw. Any hints?

Thanks, Carl

Do you have a new model camera??

It may be that you need to update the PSE6 ACR to the latest version.

Visit the Adobe site and check for updates on you software.

You need a more recent version of Photoshop. The current version of Photoshop

Elements has virtually all the features of Photoshop 6.0 (if not more), costs about $80,

and includes the Camera Raw plugin to facilitate working with RAW files.

James is right. I have Elements 6.0 and a Canon SLR and had the same problem. Go to the Adobe site and search for Adobe Camera Raw updates. It will be somewhere in the downloads section of the site.

Photoshop v6 or Photoshop Elements v6?

 

With the former, you're out of luck - even if you convert to *.DNG format you'll still need PS7 at a minimum. With the latter, all you need to do is update the RAW converter as per above.

What Colin said. PS 6.0 (Oct. 2000) never had the capability to support raw image files. PS 7 introduced ACR 1.0 to the world in 2002.

What kind of PC are you using? There is other software which will open raw and save it in TIFF so that you can use PS6. Graphiconverter 6.1 will do it. Its available for PC or Mac, and the shareware non-paid version will do all of it.

 

Raw Photo Processor (RPP) will do it too and also offers a number of manipulation tools.

Ok, I did it. I bought CS3. Ouch. Now it's gonna take a month to learn to do anything with it.

Thanks to everyone for the advice and hints.
