<p>I have a Canon 5D Mark II and have been shooting RAW files (.CR2). But I cannot open them in Photoshop CS3 or Adobe Bridge. My operating system is Windows XP (Service Pack 3). I downloaded Canon RAW Codec 1.5.0, thinking that might solve the problem. But I still can't open the files in anything except Canon Digital Photo Professional. Can someone clue me in as to what I need to do to work with these RAW files in Photoshop? Thanks!</p>

<p><big>I am about to purchase a Canon EOS D5 Mark II body, and I'm going to need a good full-frame, wide field of view, low light lens for shooting interiors (which I hope to do professionally). I've had the following lenses all highly recommended to me by various "experts":<br /> </big></p>

<ol>

<li><big>Canon 16-35mm f/2.8 L II USM<br /> </big> </li>

<li><big>Sigma 12-24mm for Canon<br /> </big> </li>

<li><big>Tokina 12-24mm for Canon </big> </li>

</ol>

<p><big>I'd really appreciate some advice from someone who shoots interiors and/or architecture professionally (or otherwise has experience with this type of photography). Thanks so much. Kate<br /> </big></p>
