Can't open Cannon CR2 Raw image in Photoshop CS2

Question

I've tried everything I can think of.
I downloaded/installed Camera_Raw_5.2 and still can't open any of the 2 DVDs full of images.
I'm not the best with the technical side of Adobe Products. Can anyone guide me a bit?

Answer 1

No, not in the application plug-ins folder. It goes in the File Formats folder, starting the path in your Root Level LIBRARY folder.

<br /> If still in doubt, post over there and we'll pick it up there.
<br />
<br /> You should have only ONE copy of the ACR plug-in, so you have to delete the old one that resides there AND any others you may have put there, such as the incompatible ACR 5.2 you mentioned early.

<br />c This screen shot shows the path for both CS2 and CS3.
<br />c The red arrows go all the way to the folder for CS3, but you can see the CS2 folder right above that, so you'll be able to figure it out.
