Bridge cs5 will not recognize cr2 files [mod edit: from the Canon 1DX]

Question

I just re-installed Photoshop CS5 to a new computer, but now I see that Bridge cannot preview CR2 raw files from my camera. Do I need a special plugin for this?
Bridge worked fine on my old computer, but I can't remember what I did to see the previews.

Answer 1

Photoshop uses the in built Adobe Camera Raw plug-in to read Raw files.
Raw file formats used by camera manufacturers are unique for each and every camera on the market. So Camera Raw is continually updated by Adobe. The version of Camera Raw you have installed supports a different range of cameras depending on which version. Earlier versions do not support newer cameras.
Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
The 1DX was first supported by Camera Raw 6.7 (compatible with CS5+)
The 1Ds Mark III was first supported by Camera Raw 4.3 (compatible with CS3+)
When you re-installed CS5, you reset Camera Raw back to 6.0 so it can read 1Ds Mark III Raw files out of the box - but not 1DX without updating Camera Raw.
In Photoshop CS5, click Help > Updates to re-install Camera Raw 6.7.
If the Update mechanism does not work, try installing ACR 6.7 manually
