Can't Open Files

[curt_kalkstein1]

<p>I did a photo session today with two other photographers, but I can't get their images to open in CS2. Both apparently shot raw (I know one did, I thought the other was shooting JPG, but her images came in at about 20 mb each). I can see the images of one of the photographers in the folder where I dropped them, but I can't even do that with the other person's images (she used a Canon). All her extensions were CR2. When I tried to change the extension to JPG (I made a copy first so I wouldn't inadvertently corrupt it), it didn't do anything.<br>

I've tried to "open" and "open as", but neither works. I don't think I'm doomed because I'm sure I can get the other people to burn disques for me, but do you have any suggestions on how to deal with this?</p>

<p>If the cameras produce RAW files not supported by CS2 (i.e. they are newer than the last Adobe Camera RAW update for CS2) then possible solutions are:</p>

<p>1. Convert them to DNG using Adobe's free RAW to DNG conversion tool or<br>

2. Upgrade to the latest version of Adobe Photoshop or<br>

3. Open them in the software provided by the camera manufacturer or<br>

4. Download and temporarily install Adobe Lightroom. </p>

<p>If you are using a PC you could just download a copy of Picasa from the good folks at Google and use it to process the raw files.</p>

<p>I would go with Bob. I have CS3 and had to convert to DNG. You can then edit your work the same as RAW then save as JPG.</p>
