Canon G9 RAW with photoshop

[hughesy]

Hi
I was just wondering how i would convert the RAW .cr2 files from my Canon G9 into files that i could work with in Adobe Photoshop 7.0 full version.

Thanks

Given that recent versions of Photoshop support RAW files directly, you need to tell us which version of Photoshop you have.

I just updated the plug in from Adobe.

Once you have downloaded the compatible plug-in, it should open when you click on the RAW file and look like this:

Hi,

you could try Canon Digital Photo Pro which can be downloaded from here


Update: - Sorry that software appears to only works with EOS digital cameras.

Cheers,

Mark.

G9 raw files can only be opened by the latest version of Camera Raw (v 4.3). To use v 4.3 you need PS CS3 or the latest version of PS Elements, so you'll have to upgrade from PS7, or buy Elements just for the Camera Raw.
Otherwise use the software that came with the camera and export in a loss-less format such TIF and open those files in PS7.

Does this mean that i won't be able to open RAW files direct using Photoshop 7. If i was to save as a TIFF file would i still be able to change things like exposure, etc. Is Photoshop CS3 the updated version to 7.0.

Thanks

Unfortunately I think you might need the software. I was using a Fuji S2Pro with Photoshop CS but when I swapped to Nikon D200 I had to upgrade to CS2. Then I changed to an Intel Mac and had to update again to CS3. It is undeniably a fabulous tool but very expensive and you have to authenticate on-line. No doubt a pirate out there will tell you otherwise!

They most definitely will tell you otherwise so i have heard. Ahem.
