PhotoShop CS2 and Camera Raw 3.1

PhotoShop CS2 and Camera Raw 3.1

2005-05-11 by Kevin Bell

Please can anyone tell me if I'm using PhotoShop CS2 and Camera Raw 3.
1 correctly? I have just downloaded the Camera Raw 3.1 file from
Adobe and installed it so I can process RAW files from a Canon EOS 
350D. I was expecting to be able to browse the RAW files as images in 
Adobe Bridge prior to opening in PhotoShop. However, it appears that 
the only way to view the files in Adobe Bridge is to first convert 
them in the Adobe DNG Converter which doubles the disc space required 
for archiving. It seems to me that this just adds another step to an 
already lengthy workflow – am I doing something wrong or is this
the only way to view RAW files in Adobe Bridge.

I can see the benefit of manufactures and software houses moving 
towards a single file format, i.e. DNG, but for the time being I'm 
happy to save on my disc space and shave a step off my workflow. Has 
anyone else any thoughts on this?

(I hope this topic is considered relevant to the group – it's
the first time I've posted).

You are doing it correct, you should be able to view RAW files  
directly in Bridge. Perhaps it's a Canon thing, I use Nikon and it  
works fine. Have you e-mailed or called Adobe yet or look in their  
forums?

As mentioned purge the folder cache.

Also is the Camera Raw installed in the proper location? It's no longer stored in the 
Photoshop Plug-ins folder. 

To install ACR 3.1, replace the existing Camera Raw plug-in at the following location: 

Mac: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Plug-ins/CS2/File Formats/… 

Win: \Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-ins\CS2\File Formats\

Thanks for the info John - yes I had the file in the wrong folder.
The images are showing in Bridge now. Regards Kev Bell.

Move to quarantaine

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
