It will read the raw files, allow you to do basic editing and save output in various formats. Bzzzzzzt! Wrong answer. Not for someone already using PS CS3. Could still be easier than sorting through all the plug-ins as previously advised. that advice was wrong. there's only *one* camera raw plugin for cs3, although he may need to update it to the latest version. |

There's nothing to "transfer". You just open the files like any other image files. Assuming that you have a legal copy of Photoshop it should be trivial. -- Ray Fischer |

There's nothing to "transfer". You just open the files like any other image files. Assuming that you have a legal copy of Photoshop it should be trivial. -- Ray Fischer Here's another wrinkle to the RAW file issue: My wife shoots with a Canon EOS Rebel XT, and she wants to try using the RAW files. She set the camera to store images in both RAW and JPEG, and uses the Canon software to transfer files from the camera to the computer. Somehow, during the file transfer, the RAW files get converted to JPEG so that she ends up with two copies of the same file, in the same format. Anyone know what's happening? She's also tried to simply copy the files from the camera to a directory on the computer using Windows Explorer. The same thing happens. I haven't been able to figure out why the RAW's won't copy without being converted. We have Photoshop Elements installed, and she wants to see if RAW images give a better print, but it's difficult to do when she can only work with the RAW's on the camera. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Take Care, Dudley |

OK, so there is only one latest version of the raw plugin. That's much easier then, than installing ufraw - NOT. |

One file vs. one file - seems like a tossup to me. What's to learn? You run it, you do it. |

How do I open raw images in CS3 please? Just double click them. If it complains about the wrong version get the latest ACR download. If your computer opens in another program, right-click open-with & chose photoshop. -- Paul Furman www.edgehill.net www.baynatives.com all google groups messages filtered due to spam |

Adobe ACR is not the be-all and end-all of RAW developers. In fact, it is not very good at all with some types of RAW images. I'd say using ACR for Canon DSLR files is going to guarantee minimised (if any) detail in highlights and a color cast after it's finished UNLESS a skilled operator creates a profile specifically for a particular camera. Not a trivial task for a new user. If the OP is using a Canon DSLR, he could do a lot worse than use Canon's own "Digital Photo Professional" to develop the RAW files and transfer them to Photoshop for processing using the "Open in Photoshop" menu option of DPP. If ufraw is half as good as it's dedicated users say, it too will have an "open in Photoshop" option, just like many other RAW developers have, some of which do not blur off light areas of the developed image to conceal a bad development routine the way ACR does (with Canon images). |
