How do I open a CR2 file using CS3 photoshop

how do I open a CR2 file in CS3

You cannot open a raw file from that camera  directly in CS3 and never will be able to.  That camera model was supported for the first time in Camera Raw 5.2, which requires CS4 to run.
You need to convert your Canon raw files to raw DNG files first.  Download, install and run the free, stand-alone Adobe DNG Converter 8.1, which is not tied to any version of Photoshop at all,

  • I have a Fuji X-Pro1 camera. How do I open its RAW files using Photoshop CS5. I use Mac OSX Lion 10.7.5

    I have a Fuji X-Pro1 camera. I use Mac OSX Lion 10.7.5  I have Photoshop CS5.  How do I open its RAW files?

    Since photoshop cs5 can't use past the camera raw 6.7 plugin and that camera requires at least the camera raw 7.1 plugin, you could use the 8.7.1 dng converter
    to convert the files to dng copies, which then photoshop cs5 should be able to open.

  • How do I open a PSA file type in Photoshop Elements 12

    How do I open a PSA file type in Photoshop Elements 12

    A file with a .PSA extension is most probably a catalog file from an older version of Elements (up to PSE5). To be able to use it with a newer version (including PSE12), you'll have to convert the catalog to the new format. In the organizer, open the 'File' menu, select the catalog manager (shift Ctrl C) and click the convert button, browse to the .psa file. Your catalog will be converted to the new format.

  • How can I open old cwk files using OS X 10.8.4?

  • Opening Canon CR2 files in CS3 on a Mac

    What Camera Raw plug-in do I need to open Canon CR2 files in Photoshop CS3 on a Mac?
    -Please send download link and installation instructions.
    Thanks

    Martha,
    You have not provided any information about how you updated to ACR 4.3 or details about your setup, whether you have purged the Cache through the Tools menu in Bridge, trashed Photoshop and/or preferences, Repaired Permissions, or performed any other maintenance, nor what error message you get or what happens when you try opening your images, nor any information as to the exact version of Photoshop you are running (10.0.1?) as well as the OS (14.0.11 or 10.5.7?).  You really need to post in the Camera Raw forum so that you can browse existing threads and so we can point you to relevant posts.
    Provided the files themselves are not damaged or corrupted, the most common problems are installing the ACR plug-in in the wrong place and not removing the obsolete ACR plug-in that is originally installed by default with Photoshop.
    If you go to the Photoshop menu > About Plug-in > Camera Raw…, you should see only one instance of Camera Raw and it should be 4.6 when you select that menu item.
    If you have any other question, please post in the Camera Raw forum, not here.  A discussion of this nature should be over there, where it can benefit other Camera Raw users, not just you.

  • How can I open AppleWorks 6 files using Pages or Word?

    I am currently running Mac OS X v.10.4.11, but I am turning in my old mac for a new one in about a week. Almost all of my important files are AppleWorks 6 files and my new mac will not have this program since it has been replaced with Pages. I currently have AppleWorks 6, Microsoft Word 2004 for Mac, and Pages 08 on my old mac. I am unsure as to what applications I will have on my new mac (I am a teacher and the macs are school computers so I do not have control over the software), but I think it will have both Word 2008 and Pages 08 or 09. So far I have not had any luck opening my AppleWorks files in Pages or Word. I have been able to copy and paste the AppleWorks files into Pages (they are mostly Draw documents, not simple word processing), but they become an image so I cannot edit the content. I need to be able to edit my documents on my new computer and do not have time to open each AppleWorks file and copy it to Pages anyway. Any suggestions to help me with this compatibility problem?

    AppleWorks will run fine on your new Mac, though if you transfer it from the old one you should delete it from there to stay within the terms of the licence. You would need to copy the Appleworks folder over, not just the application.
    Pages can open Appleworks 6 word processing documents, Numbers can open Appleworks 6 spreadsheets. It's possible to open AW Draw documents in Eazydraw, or in Pages through a workaround. Nothing will open AW Database documents.
    I have written a detailed article going into the process of migrating from Appleworks, including the workaround for Draw>Pages:

  • Canon 5 d mark 2 - opening RAW/CR2 files with CS3???

    I have CS3 version 10.0.1 and Raw convertor 4.6 and a Canon 5 d mark 2
    I have downloaded the Camera RAW and DNG converter 5.2 and camera profiles but photoshop still will not open the files and Bridge just displays the RAW icon. Photoshop says it does not recognize this file format?
    Any other suggestions- I have downloaded it now a couple of times and tried to install- but no luck - it still does not recognize the 5 d mark 2 .CR2 files - HEELLPPPP!!

    >will I be able to edit them with Bridge?
    NEVER! But you can use Bridge to open your DNGs in Adobe Camera Raw. :)
    Bridge is just a file browser. It does not open, edit or save files of any kind. It just hands the files over to the appropriate application(s) to open them, like Photoshop, Camera Raw, Illustrator, Acrobat, even MS Word, etc.

  • Missing Plugins.  Unable to open InDesign CS4 file, using CS3.

    There are various updates InDesign CS3 available;
    Adobe InDesign 5.0.2, 5.0.3, and 5.0.4.dmg etc, plus 'Digital Editions'.
    Which one provides correct plugins to allow opening of a CS4 originated file in CS3?
    Alternatively, is there a link which provides a utility which will automatically detect which
    plugins you require to update from CS3>CS4?
    Thanks very much.

    My script in this thread: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4071273 will identify with what version of ID a file is created, which may be helpful at times. (Aside, you may be the first to try it with CS3 -- so it might not work.)
    Nothing to be ashamed of on your side, really. That infernally misleading "upgrade your plugins" 'error' dialog has been confusing first-time users from the very first time some lazy programmer at Adobe opted for a quick shortcut in programming and be at home before rush hour.

  • How can I open/save .xlsx file using java

    Hi
    I have a jsp whose contenttype of response is application/vnd.ms-excel.
    When I am saving the file as .xlsx and opening from disk it displays error message.
    How can I save and/or open the file as .xlsx?
    Any advice will be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Checkout the Apache POI XSSF API or the OpenXML4J API's to create xlsx files and use a servlet to write it to the outputstream.

  • How do I open a png file using firefox with windows 7

    In Windows XP I could save an image in the png format then open it using firefox, copy and paste it into an excel spreadsheet. However I can't do this in Windows 7. Has anybody else encountered this problem and found a solution?
    Kind regards

    Hi there,
    Could you describe your workflow and what happens? If you mean that double-clicking on a .png file in a normal folder (Explorer) window doesn't launch it in Firefox, which application is launched when you click it? If you want to make Firefox the default application to handle .png files, you need to change these settings in Windows 7. Unfortunately I don't have it myself (running a Mac here) so I don't remember the exact instructions. But I'm sure you could right-click on a .png file and select "Open With..." and from there manually pick Firefox. Try that and see if you get the results you want!
    Cheers,
    David

  • HOW CAN I OPEN A CS5 FILE TO CS3???

    hi I been having this problem with most the files, i dont know why its so difficult if i am using the same program even though one is an upgrade than the other can someone please help!????

    As Colin points out, backward compatibility is seldom going to work, or work well.
    An alternate is to Export an intermediate file from CS5, to be Imported into CS3, and a new Project/Sequence.
    Two schools of thought on doing so:
    Edit completely and finally in CS5, as you will no longer have things like Handles, etc., in your newly Exported intermediate file. It will be hard to re-edit, but you can certainly do things like Titles, Audio additions, PiP and overlays.
    Edit very loosely, leaving adequate Handles in each Clip, and NOT adding any Transitions. The tight editing would then be done in the older version, and Transitions, etc., would be added there.
    I would look into a lossless CODEC, like the Lagarith Lossless, for the intermediate file. Note: it would have to be installed on both machines, and one would have to consider the 32-bit on the CS3 machine, and the 64-bit version on the CS5 machine. I do not know how well, or poorly, those might play with each other, but I am sure that others can direct you, or perhaps suggest an alternative.
    Good luck,
    Hunt
    PS - I also think that you meant something different than "CS4 into CS4... " above.
    PPS - It is usually easier going UP a version, or two, though even that can hold some problems, just waiting to strike.

  • Unable to open T1i CR2 files from CS3

    Running CS3 on Windows Vista.  I have updated Camera Raw plugin to 4.6.  I am able to view raw files from my Canon 5D, but not from new Canon T1i.  I get error message of "Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document."
    I read that I should use DNG software, but when run, I get error messages on the converted files. I have been able to use Canon software, but would prefer using Adobe.

    What version of the DNG converter are you using?
    It has to be the equivalent level to the Adobe Camera Raw version that would be needed for that camera, ie 5.4 or higher.

    Photoshop menu File>Open select the CR2 file.  If you have a resent canon you may need CS6 or newer only they support ACR 8.6 beta with RAW support for the latest cameras.
