The new Canon camera uses a *different* RAW format than my old one

they no longer use CRW , now it's CR2 (sigh)

Adobe's CR2 plug-in does not work with Photoshop cs2 and below...they
want me to upgrade again. Sheesh


Canon is at least good enough to include a RAW program that can at least
be used to do any preliminary editing... then save a TIFF to send to
Photoshop to finish the job.


The real thing that steams me though is that the *free* software such as
IRFanview or GIMP have plugins for CR2 that can be installed in a matter
of seconds...and at no charge!


(end of venting, thank you)

Welcome to the wonderful world of Open Source. I use ufraw, myself - it allows basic editing before you save it out.


Yes

I use that and GIMP myself and I switched over to Linux full time at the beginning of the year.

However my fiancé is a Photoshop die-hard.

When I watch her work...I have to admit that she can work more efficiently when she uses Photoshop.
