Adobe CS2 problem

[maged_mmh]

even after updating to ACR 3.7; still i cannot open .CR2 files from my G9 directly on PS CS2; however .CRW files (from EOS 300D dinosaur) opens with no issues. any idea what might be wrong?

You need ACR 4.3.1 to open Canon G9 RAW files - unfortunately it only works with PSCS3 or Elements 5 or 6.

Adobe - Photoshop : For Windows : Camera Raw 4.3.1 update

A workaround - use the free DNG converter from Adobe to convert your images to .dng format then you should be able to open them in ACR 3.7

so the only way - apart from using DNG - is to go for CS3?? that is robbery!!!

i guess that wrap it : Adobe Forums - Camera Raw 3.8? - Photoshop CS2 useless with Canon G9?

No, that is Adobe!

I had the same issues with my D200 and CS. I had to purchase an upgrade to CS2.

If you are an adobe owner, and buy a current model camera, plan on the upgrade cost, because Adobe does not make their software backwards compatible with new RAW formats.

Is corel any better? somebody tried it out there?

You could check Corals website, it should be fairly obvious.

Another solution is to purchase Elements, and use that to convert the files.

Does Lightroom offer export to JPEG or Tiff ?

actually it does; thinking of that now my cs2 is of no good at all with G9
