My Canon 5D II produces RAW files not supported by my PhotoShop CS3 (10.0.1). Does anybody know if Adobe has developed upgrades to support these RAW files?
Thanks, TIm Stenning

Tim,

I had asked this last month here.

Basically you need to download the Adobe DNG Convertor from Adobe, its free.

Or upgrade to CS4.

Lightroom 2.2 can handle them. You can then export them as a .Tiff to use in CS3 with the lightroom rendering.

Your best (and least expensive) bet is to convert the RAW files to DNG files so you can continue to use ACR in CS3.

You can also use the DPP software that came bundled with the camera to do the conversions before opening in CS3.

Many thanks for the quick tips. Tim

It sort of stinks that Adobe stops supporting with CS3 and now only with CS4, but should you have reason to update to CS4, CS4 RAW update will read the files.
