Canon EOS 40D Raw files in Adobe Photoshop CS3
So, I tried to open a Raw file from my Canon EOS 40D with Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended and it said "Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document". Well, there's a big surprise. Apparently, I need to do something to get Photoshop CS3 to recognize the Raw .CR2 files produced by the EOS 40D.
I can see the Raw thumbnails in Adobe Bridge CS3, but I can't open the files in Photoshop CS3. In Photoshop CS3, I selected Help - About Plug-In - Camera Raw. It says I'm using Adobe Camera Raw Plug-In Version 4.0, so I'm going to install the Adobe Camera Raw 4.4.1 Plug-In update.
Here are the directions I followed to install the Adobe Camera Raw Plug-In 4.1.1:
To install with Adobe Creative Suite 3 or Photoshop CS3:
1. Exit Photoshop CS3.
2. Open My Computer.
3. Double-click Local Disk (C:).
4. Navigate to: c:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS3\File Formats
5. Move the existing Camera Raw.8bi plug-in to another location (for example, a new folder on your desktop). Ensure you keep this version in case you need to revert back.
6. Copy the Camera Raw plug-in, Camera Raw.8bi, from the download into the same folder as in step 4.
7. Launch Photoshop CS3 or Adobe Bridge.Note: If generic camera thumbnails appear in Adobe Bridge, follow these steps:
1. Check to make sure the plug-in was installed in the correct directory in step 4 above.
2. Start Bridge.
3. Choose Tools > Cache > Purge Central Cache.
OK. Now, I can open the .CR2 Raw files in Adobe Photoshop CS3. Why do I have the feeling that this is just the beginning of a long and painful learning curve?
I found these tutorials somewhat useful:
