I not a DPP fan, but a lot of people insist that its conversion is : better for both detail and skin color than Adobe's conversion. I'm a DPP user; but I won't make that claim, because I've never used Photoshop's conversion. But what I do know is that DPP has always had some hooks to interface with Photoshop. So you might check to see whether DPP makes its RAW files more Photoshop-friendly in that context than when they're fed directly to Photoshop. Bob |

My wife has one, and it produces very nice images. Bob |

Canon T2i RAW in Photoshop CS3
"JimG" wrote in message ... My T2i arrived this week and, as I was happily snapping test photos and loading them into Photoshop, I was surprised to realize that CS3 does not recognize the T2i's RAW format. I goggled for some help and, as I understand it, 5.6 is the last Camera RAW plug-in update for CS3 and 5.7 is the first plug-in update that includes the T2i. In other words, I can't use Canon's native RAW ( .CR2) in Photoshop CS3 as I had hoped. After some more goggling it appears I can load the 5.6 update into Photoshop CS3, run the T2i RAW photos (with a .CR2 extension) through the Adobe DNG Converter, and then open those converted RAW photos (now with a .DNG extension) in Photoshop. This seems to work. My question then become, other than the conversion step, is do the DNG photos contain all of the information that was contained in the CR2 photos? Is there any advantage to savings the CR2 photos once they are converted to DNG photos? You might try: http://www.breezesys.com/BreezeBrowser/index.htm It won't replace your CS3, but it will convert your RAW photos to TIFF or JPG and allow a number of adjustments during the conversion. You can download a copy for a free trial. Ron |

A CD containing it is included with the T2i, and the latest updates are available on the Canon Web site. Bob |

However, the results are frequently inferior to using Photoshop CS2 and its converter (for my Canon 30D). The killer is blown highlights. DPP simply won't let you expose as much without ruined highlights. I take lots of photos of things like waterfalls, and this is a big problem because of the large dynamic range. Doug McDonald |

If the RAW image has a pure white pixel, what can a photo editor do with it, other than graying it down? And how is that different from simply lowering the contrast or the color saturation? Bob |
