When I open a RAW file from the 40D in PS2 I get an error message – ‘could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of file’.

I’ve been processing 30D files (CR2 format) in PS2 for 2 years without a problem. The 40D RAW file is also CR2 format, the same as my 30D.

I’m not sure if it’s a camera setting or a PS2 issue. Any help would be appreciated.

What is PS2?

If you mean PS Elements 2, go here:

If you mean Photoshop CS2, your camera may not be supported by the CS2 version of Adobe Camera Raw.

And to expand a bit on that, CS2 can’t be upgraded to read 40D raw files. You have 2 ways to go, upgrade to CS3 or get the latest version of the DNG converter from Adobe (free) and convert you RAW files to DNG format and CS2 will then edit them. And your original RAW files are not changed in any way doing that.

Hope this helps

John,
Thanks for that tid bit. I have been debating on whether to get a 40D or the XTi. Now I know CS3 handles 40D, thats one less thing to worry about. BTW I have CS3 Master collection.
