We photograph as many as 5 or six assignments daily with an average of 30 or more exposures per session. This is a lot of images. We use Photodesk to import our Kodak images into the computer. We are able to batch process and make global corrections very quickly.

With Photoshop 7.01 and earlier releases we could make these corrections in Photodesk and save them as RAW files in Photoshop with the corrections saved as well.

Not so with Photoshop CS. CS will save the RAW files, but not the corrections made in Photodesk. Why? Camera RAW (IMHO) does not do the batch processing to allow us speed.

Is there any hope of having CS recognize changes made by Photodesk. Right now, we have removed CS and reverted to 7.01.

Thank you.

That doesn’t make much sense.

Photoshop RAW files are just the bits of the pixels — there is no edit information. Camera RAW files are just raw dumps from the CCD with a little metadata – there is no "edit" or "correction" information.

Do you mean that you made adjustments in PhotoDesk and later Photoshop opened the RAW file with those adjustments? That would mean that you were going through a third party plugin that read and understood the PhotoDesk edit information.
That will still work in CS if you use that third party reader instead of ACR.

Adobe could only support that sort of edit if PhotoDesk fully documented their edit data.
