CR2 RAW

[pastorchrisk]

I have a Canon XTi and am new to photography. I want to shoot in RAW and edit in Photoshop but Photoshop CS2 will not open it because it says it is not the right kind of document. I have the Canon software that came with it but I came across a video: http://www.opensourcephoto.net/forum/index.php?showforum=79 The video is called Brige_RAW. Anyway this seemed pretty cool so I thought I would try it on photoshop.
Is there a plug in? Or am I stuck with Canon?
Thank You!

Go to Adobe's site (http://www.adobe.com/downloads) and download the latest version of ACR (v3.6).

You need the Adobe Camera RAW plugin to enable you to read RAW files in CS2.

Thanks!
I just downloaded the plug in and put it in the plug in folder. Works great. :) Thanks again!

No probs...

RAW is the way to go IMO, I find I actually do less PP work than i did with jpg, I find it's mainly WB adjustment that is so much easier.
