Photoshop 6 can not open raw files without a manufacturer’s import plug-in. Not sure if Canon even offers one any more. Check with Canon.
Thanks.
So…if I’m trying to open raw files produced on a Sony camera I would need an import plug-in from Sony, and if Nikon, one from them?
I added Nikon NEF plug-in.8bi to the PS6 File Format plug-in folder.
File format fields show RAW files, but the CRW (the Sony version of camera raw files, I’m assuming) do not. PS6 produces an error that this file type is not supported.
rrose – well, yeah – you added support for Nikon’s NEF format, not Canons CRW format. You’ll have to get a plugin from Canon to support the Canon format.
Thanks, Chris.
Yes…Crw – for Canon, that makes sense. I have a disc of CRW files that I was informed – mistakenly, apparantly – were from a Sony digital camera.
Irfanview (free) will open/convert crw. Don’t know how well. Does NEF so so.
Make sure you load install the additional all_plugs add on also. irfanview.com
