I am trying to open my RAW files in CS and I am getting a "not the right kind of document" error. Is this an known incompatibility? I have shot in both sRGB and Adobe RGB.
This new version of the Camera Raw plug-in replaces the original Camera Raw plug-in that was installed with Adobe Photoshop CS2 and Adobe Photoshop Elements 3.0 and 4.0 software. Visit the Camera Raw page for a complete list of supported cameras.
Important notice:
Read the following installation instructions carefully. Incorrect installation will prevent Adobe Bridge and Adobe Camera Raw 3.4 from reading raw images correctly.
Support for the following cameras has been added in this update.
I was afraid of that. I guess until then I will use Canon's software. It does let me transfer to PS, which is nice. It converts the file to a TIFF when it opens in PSCS. The only problem there is that PS won't let me save it as a JPEG file. Any ideas there? If I save it to the desktop for example in a TIFF file, open in PS I then can save as JPEG, but this is turning into way too may steps. I'd prefer to transfer directly from Canon to PS but I cannot if I want to save as a JPEG.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding you . PS will let you save anything you open as a JPG. Go to File->Save As and change the file type in the drop-down box. You may have to scroll to see the JPG option.
I wonder if you can use the most current DNG converter with CS? You could take the 30D from raw to dng then process the dng in CS? Just a thought and it might work.

I wish that were true. When transferred to PS from the canon raw software it comes up in PS as TIFF. But when I choose "save as" in PS, JPEG is not in the list of choices in the pull down menu. I'm scratching my head too.

What version of PS are you using? I know it was there in PS7 but don't know anything about earlier versions. Did you scroll the list of choices up?

Just a quick claraification on the original question. PS CS only uses up to ACR 2.4 which does not support the 30D files. CS2 uses ACR 3.x, which newer versions should support it. You need a separate converter to save to TIFF, PSD, or JPG. It sounds like you found the DPP disk included with the camera which will do the job. There's a number of converters that you can try out (see here for reviews of a few: http://www.sphoto.com/techinfo/rawconverters/rawconverters.htm

I believe it only runs in CS2. That is what I use and it works fine.

Right...same in PS7. That must have been the problem.
BINGO. Thanks guys. First time using this Canon software.
Yes you can ... I do this all the time.
I personally prefer Bibble.
