I normally use CS3 no problem with my own Nikon RAW files but a friend has asked me to do some processing on a file from his Canon (5D I think - it's new and he can't work it in manual!!!). It is a .CR2 file and photoshop says it cannot complete my request because it is not the right type of file.

Is there anything I or my friend should do to get it to work?

Thanks

You need to update the camera raw plugin to v4.6. Here is a link that will help you Adobe Camera Raw v4.6

I have checked...It is the MkII. Is it easy to convert to DNG? (I am at work at the moment so don't have access to CS3 to try it)

Thanks, I'll see if I can get a copy of the cd from my friend. Failing that, he'll need to convert it to jpeg for me

Let me get this straight:

Your friend cannot work a camera in 'Manual' and is asking someone else to do his processing for him, yet he's out buying a 5D MkII ???

Some people have more money than sense. Maybe he'd like to swap it for my wife's little point and shoot ?

I nearly fell over when he told me. He actually makes money from taking photos. His next purchase is a mac pro but he can't find the tool to draw a straight line using PS!!!

It is a separate stand-alone program but is installed at the same time as Camera Raw. In fact you may already have it on your system. On my system (XP Pro) it's installed in - 'C:\Program Files\Adobe\DNG Converter\Adobe DNG Converter.exe'
You may still need to get the latest version though.
