CS2 help

[Denise40]

I am just starting out to learn RAW and CS2 and taking an online course learning all of this, but one thing I needed to know how to do, is actually get my photos into the "organizer"?? I know with PSE, I just go to file, open and bring up my photo. Is there some type of photostrip in CS2 or do I use bridge? I am totally new to this program.

TIA

Hi. You will have to use bridge to open the raw files. When you double click on the raw file it will open it in camera raw. If double click doesn't work try to right click and click on open with camera raw. Using camera raw you will be able to set the white balance and few other things and then you can open that file in photoshop. Make sure that you have the most updated camera raw plugin. You can download it directly from adobe.

Hope that helps,
Yan

Does that not open your files in Bridge ?

Thanks for the info, I will give that a try. The instructor made it sound like an organizer, where there will be like a photostrip at the bottom or something. I will play with it today.
