Right here is a crazy question someone sent me a CR2 File to change in to a jpg. They thought that it was RAW but I have never heard of a CR2 File. What is it and how do I open it??

CR2 is Canon's RAW format. You may be able to download the proper conversion software from the Canon site/

CR2 is a Canon raw file. Open it in Photoshop CS2

I don't have Cs2 All I have is elements and it is not opening it...It opens my NEF though strange.

RawShooter Essentials should be able to open it. It's a free RAW converter.

There are two tabs in the upper right, one for the RAW processing and the other for actually running the conversion. I think it's the icon that looks like gears (at the top) that will add the image to the queue for processing.

Just to add some more info;

If you have elements or photoshop you can get the update so that both will read the RAW files from most of the latest cameras. This is the latest and greatest. (released 10/06)

Go here: //www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/cameraraw.html then follow the instruction on how to download and install file.

The file must be placed in the correct folder manually but it is not a difficult job.

Hope it helps

Does anyone know if Photoshop CS (version 8) has an upgrade available for Rebel XT raw CR2 files? Can't seem to find anything. Only CS2.
Starting to stress. :(

I don't think that CS has the support for the XT. It's too new.

Thanks.
Not good.

Ya, but...

I think the newest plugin only works with CS2.

Good suggestion. Good program. It's one of the few 3rd party systems out there that is Pentax friendly. Should handle Canon without any problem.
