		I've never shot RAW until this evening. So, I took some shots of airplanes and brought them home and tried to open them in Photoshop CS2. I can see the thumbnails fine in PS' Browser. However, if I try to open one (xxxx.mrw), I get an error that says the file can't be opened because it's the "wrong kind of document". Looked in PS' Help Area and it mentions that CS2 has a Camera Raw Plugin that should pop up as soon as you try to open up a raw file. 
 
 Any ideas?

		Thanks for the link. I followed the instructions. I'm a Network Engineer as my day job, so I know my way around technical documentation. :) Now when I try to open the file, I get a message: Could not complete your request because this version of Photoshop does not supply the services required by this plug-in module. My version is Photoshop CS2 v.8
 
 On my laptop, I have v.9 and it workds like a charm there. I'll just upgrade it on my desktop.
 
 Thanks!

		You have CS1 version 8.
 Only CS2 supports raw.

		| Download something like Raw Shooter Essentials to convert it before you take it into PS. |

		Okay I've got CS2 v9 now. :)  Converting was going to be my next hurdle.
 I'll download the Raw Shooter Essentials and take a look at it.
 
 Thanks everyone.
