Canon 40d Raw and Photoshop CS3

hnjngo

Currently I am using Adobe LR and CS3, but when i try to upload my 40d's .CR2 files to CS3 it says that it is either corrupt or my raw plugin does not work. I am currently running the most recent RAW plugin for CS4.

I have done some looking around and I read that the CS4 plugin doesn't work on CS3. =( so assuming this is true what do you do to get your .CR2 files into Photoshop. Or do you just export a good .jpg from LR? do you loose anyting by doing this?

Thanks

You're running a CS4 raw plugin in CS3?

I'd say take it out if you can. Go to Help->Updates in CS3, and load the latest CS3 updates. It may say ACR update, I forget. And voila.

Hmm, dunno why that would be. Is this a fully licensed version, or maybe a demo version?
