Massive Photoshop/Bridge problem, pls help???

Hi everyone,

Got a huge problem, I've bought Photoshop cs4, installed it etc, all great so that I can use it with my 5d mark II, just gone to edit some photos from a civil partnership ceremony, and the raw files are all showing as .cr2 files - photoshop cannot open them?!?!?!?!?! Why is this?!?!?!? It wasn't doing it the other day, I don't understand??? Please help,I have to rescue these images?!?!?!


HELP! :'(

CR2 files are the raw files from the 5D and they will not open up directly in Photoshop. You have to process them in Bridge (or other Raw converter) and then pass them over to PS to work on them.

Thanks Steve, that was what I was trying to do....but its ok, I've updated my cs4 and its all good now, panic over lol! Thanks for your reply though, I appreciate it!

PS. My goodness Steve you have a lot of kit!!!!!

Glad you got it sorted.

I'm a hoarder and don't get rid of much.

On top of what I have listed I also have a Canon Eos 3 film camera which is still in use regularly, a Bronica SQ-AI with 3 lenses 2 film backs, and a myriad of accessories and ancillary equipment for the cameras.

I should start up my own camera museum

I'm thinking about buying an eos 3, I have just bought my Hasselblad 503cw which is stunning, really love it The Bronica sounds great, one of my friends in Uni has one and he swears by it which do you prefer film or digital?

That is a difficult one.

For pure quality of image I don't think you can beat a 6 x 6 Velvia transparency literally glowing on the light table.

Digital however comes into its own when I am out at a gundog trial or similar where I may fire of 500 or more shots. Funny, I even find myself moaning about changing a CF card when it's full with 250 images forgetting that not that many years ago I had to change film every 36 exposures

Horses for courses I s'pose.

Envious of your Hassy though

Steve

My Hassy is literally the nicest thing I've ever had ever! Lol!
Digital is great for convenience but I just feel that it doesn't have the same magic as film!
I still want to go and use one of the 20x24 inch Polaroid cameras in America, thats my ambition for the next few years to get enough money!!!!

Ah well....I can dream!

Never stop dreaming. Dreams do come true if you work at them

Steve

I hope so....sooo many ambitions, I'm very lucky that I have a partner who allows me to try and realise them

Ah well back to work, doing a site specific project at the moment so I have to print off some images for that, I also have two images in an exhibition that is opening tomorrow evening....no rest for the wicked lol!
