Get the latest ACR from the Adobe web site
You should be running v3.3, and if your
Canon is supported, you’ll have the
converter.

Thanks Dave but I don’t think the Adobe site offers PS7 versions.

You can also download for free and use for free until at least Feb. Adobe’s beta Lightroom.

It’ll convert more RAW versions than anything I know, and it has a lot of other things to recommend it.

I doubt whether there’s difference, Myles.
Download it and load it – but keep your original safe

Photoshop 7 doesn’t support RAW files. There was a special early version of CameraRAW (which you had to buy for US$ 99), but that disappeared when Photoshop CS was introduced. You can download ACR, but it won’t help you. ACR cannot be used with Photoshop 7.

Sorry Myles, I were not aware of it. I am using PS (serious) since CS But there is more programs for the raw format available then only Photoshop. Do a search.

To you Johan, many thanks for the tutorial
‘How to quickly remove a color cast’ involving only 3 steps:
1. eyedropper
2. new layer (filled with sample) & invert
3. Normal to color & opacity.

This is so easy & fast, it became kind of standard with me. Maybe you should refer more people to that URL
because this is a question that turns up here relative often.

Raw Shooter Essentials is still available for free. Hurry to get a copy before Adobe discontinues the distribution

As others have said, ADOBE WILL not support older versions of Photoshop for new camera RAW files. There are three options.

1 USE the DPP which came with the CAMERA. It is an excellent converter and MANY adjustments can be made with this RAW converter. It does colors better the ARC ( Adobe Raw Converter)

2. Download DNG ‘universal’ RAW converter different then ARC ( I am not sure if it will work with P/S 7) from ADOBE. Downside it is not as accurate (IMHO) and you end up doubling your image file size plus increases time.

3. Update your P/S version to CS 2. Apparently, Adobe will continue to support its ARC and any new camera RAW formats UNTIL a new version of P/S is released.

Won’t work. As I said before, Photoshop 7 doesn’t support RAW files, period. That includes DNG.

Not true at all. Adobe sold the original Camera RAW plug as an add-on for PS7, I’ve had it for years. It won’t support any cameras that have come out since CS, that includes DNG, but PS7 certainly does support RAW files if you have the Camera RAW plug.

You are correct, of course. The list of supported cameras is here, near the bottom:

DNG has been supported from ACR 2.3 (September 2004). Users of CS should use ACR 2.4 (January 2005) instead, because that also supports the later version of the DNG specification.

(ACR 1.x is for PS 7. ACR 2.x is for PS 8 – CS. ACR 3.x is for PS 9 – CS2).

If you had read the whole thread, you would have noticed that I already mentioned the existence of that plugin. That plugin isn’t part of Photoshop 7 though. You had to buy it separately and it’s no longer available. It was an add-on, just as any third party plugin you could buy. And because it didn’t support DNG, the DNG route via DNG Converter is not an option.
