CR2 files aren't recognized by CS3.

-

shooting canon 5dmarkii.  windows 7; photoshop cs3.  when try open raw (cr2) files, message file type can't recognized.  i've not had problem before.  "updates" says current.  help?

photoshop uses adobe camera raw (acr) plugin process raw files. raw files , formats vary brand , camera model , every new camera brings different spec. thus, adobe must update acr plugin every time new camera released.

 

the 5d mark ii first supported in adobe camera raw (acr) 5.2

cs3 compatible acr4.0 through 4.6. cs3 never compatible acr5 or higher.

your options:

  1. join cloud (full or single app subscription) , photoshop cc (monthly payments required)
  2. purchase new copy of cs6 perpetual (cs3 no longer qualifies upgrade)
  3. (free option) convert 5d mark ii raw files dngs using free dng converter

    then edit dngs in cs3.

 

edit: see lightroom alternative suggested ssprengel in post#2 below.
