Can anyone recommend a plugin for opening Canon .CR2 files in Photoshop 7? I have Canon Digital Photo Professional for opening the raw files but they can't be saved as .psd files. Maybe it's just as well to save them as .tif and open those with Photoshop 7 but I don't know if that introduces image degradation by adding the extra step. Thanks for any thoughts.

Upgrade to CS2 and use ACR. You can calibrate it to your camera to get better out-of-the-converter color, so that all you need to do in PS is de-noise, crop, and sharpen. Its much handier than Canon's kludgeware.

My opinion differs from Jonathan's, the color DPP gets from the files is fantastic, and the sharpening algorithm erases the camera's anti-alias filter like magic, in a way that cannot be done by ANY other tool.
DPP is a kludge, there I agree with Jonathan, and I use Adobe stuff for the big batches from my Canon, and DPP for the art gallery enlargements which need to be high quality.
I would check on the Adobe site, it's possible that the last distributed version of the ACR plugin that works with PS7 can open CR2 files. I seem to remember it could.

Lost cause...nothing that would run in Photoshop 7 could open a DNG file....Camera Raw 2.4 (the last version of CR for Photoshop CS) was the first version that could open DNG.
CR2 files didn't even come out till AFTER Photoshop CS shipped-it was the 1D MII that first started using CR2-prior to that Canon cameras used either CRW or TIF...
It's either upgrade to CS3 or use DPP (or use some other 3rd party app).

Let's not give up so easily. I think Bibble supplies a Photoshop plugin that can open the Canon Raw files. Go look at [a href=\"http://www.bibblelabs.com]http://www.bibblelabs.com[/url]
