Photoshop CS2

Rob - both PS Elements 3 and Photoshop CS1/2 natively handle at least Olympus RAW files (.ORF) without a plug-in.

Kim,

Thanks. Any knowledge of whether or not it will handle Canon RAW files?

I don't believe that it's an issue for Canon. Do a search on http://dpreview.com

• EOS-1D
• EOS-1D Mark II
• EOS-D30
• EOS-D60
• EOS-300D
(Digital Rebel/Kiss Digital)
• PowerShot 600
• PowerShot A5
• PowerShot A50
• PowerShot Pro 1

CS will as well - and I believe that there is also a CS plug-in to add more.

You will need CS2/ACR3.1 if you have *
o Canon EOS Rebel XT (EOS 350D/EOS Kiss Digital N)
o Nikon D2X
o Olympus EVOLT E-300
o Olympus C-7070 Wide Zoom

according to adobe:

The RAW 3.1 update which supports the Rebel XT is also available for PS Elements 3:

Kim, on your link to Adobe, under system requirement, it does say
"For Camera Raw 3.1:
Adobe Creative Suite 2, Adobe Photoshop CS2 for Windows, or Adobe Photoshop Elements 3.0 for Windows"

so CS is definitely left out for a whole bunch of new cameras.
Opps, and thanks for the correction. I did not realize that PE3 will also works with ACR3.1. I would hate to see people buying C7070 and end up having to buy CS2 as well.

Ok...I agree. However it only costs $99 to get PSE3 with the correct camera support and then use it as it is....or save the file to Photoshop RAW format and work on it in CS. That'll save a lot of money buying CS2!
Personally I use PSE3 almost all the time now as there is very little that I actually need CS to do that PSE3 can't. As I have both I probably won't consider upgrading to CS2 as I really don't see that the extras are worth it. The 'bridge' that you mentioned seems like a very expensive feature if that is the only gain.
Still, I haven't installed my tryout yet so maybe I'll feel differently later!

 

[ssra30]

Please don't rub it in. After grudgingly upgraded to CS2, I am still not a happy camper, at least until Adobe and Nikon decided to play nice with each other again. The Bridge thingy is nice but I never use it as I find Nikon View a lot better at browsing and I can open a file directly from Nikon View into PS.

ROFL. Hey...I've only got an 'old' C5050....how do you think I feel when I have to read everyday about all the folks and their flashy new cameras?
