The camera specs says it records it's RAW in the Canon CR2 format which has been around since the 20D (perhaps earlier but I am not certain). Unless the 14-bit makes a difference. If it does, I would have expected the file extension to change to something like CR3 to indicate a different file format. -- Len >> Stay informed about: Canon 40D Files and Photoshop CS2

Nope, but they won't open in CS3 either yet. Until then just use Canon ZoomBrowser EX with RAW Image Task, or Canon Digital Photo Professional to convert the files to 16 bit TIFFs after making the raw adjustments, and then open the TIFFs in CS2. After Adobe updates Adobe Camera RAW to add support for the 40D (probably in 4.2), then you can download the DNG convertor from: ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/photoshop/cameraraw/win/4.x/ and use the DNG convertor to convert the 40D's raw files into DNG format which can be read in ACR3.6 in CS2 or ACR2.4 in CS. You can then do all of your normal raw operations in ACR 3.6 on the converted DNG file without upgrading to CS3 just as if CS2 supported the 40D. I'm aware of ACR3.7 for CS2 but it adds three super annoying bugs that make it unsuitable for use. Adobe won't fix the bugs that they added in 3.7 since the software is now obsolete. 1. ACR3.7 causes fully saturated yellows to get a red halo around the the saturated part. 2. ACR3.7 converted files cause Windows explorer not to be able to see the EXIF data in the jpgs saved from CS2. 3. ACR3.7 converted files to sometimes cause the Windows Picture and Fax viewer to show "Drawing Failed" for the saved jpgs. >> Stay informed about: Canon 40D Files and Photoshop CS2

Cheers for your reply. I am not shooting the messenger, but this sounds like a ploy by Adobe to either sell more software, or to force people to use Adobe DNG format if they want to shoot in RAW? It's disgusting that Photoshop versions have such a short life span with cameras.

Yes, agree completely but i will say that the upgrade to CS3 is well worth the price of the upgrade.

Sorry, forgot to mention in my post the following statement from the Adobe site: http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/cameraraw.html "Camera Raw 4.0 and greater is not compatible with Photoshop CS2". So, by that I assume that if you buy a new camera, you also need to buy the latest version of Photoshop as well?!?

My new D-SLR can save in native raw or DNG, was great to have that option until they upgraded ACR to read the new raw format. >> Stay informed about: Canon 40D Files and Photoshop CS2

There is no reason why there cannot be a universal format other than manufacturer cussedness. It might as well be DNG as anything else. -- --- Paul J.
