Compatibility issues with Canon 5D mk II and Photoshop ???

[Gill Jones]

Has anyone experienced problems after uploading images from Canon 5D to find Photoshop nor Bridge will read them?
Have been on lots of forums but haven't found a solution yet.
Any help greatly appreciated.

Are you using raw CR2 format ?
If so you might want to see if theres any Camera RAW updates for PS

Think you may need to download the DNG converter from Adobe

Thanks so much for your reply Mark, yes they are CR2 RAW.
I actually did as the second thread; Joan suggested.
Many thanks for your input, great first time experience of the Welshot Forum.

Thank you Joan, I downloaded Adobe DNG converter as you suggested.
In addition to my RAW and JPG file I now have a dng file which is a slightly smaller than the RAW.
Is there anything I need to be aware of when working with the dng file?

Are you still having problems Gill ? I will make John and Eifion aware of your question as I know that Joan's having email / internet problems at the moment...

If you could hang on until tomorrow (Fri) then you could also phone Eifion, we are getting ready for the Llandudno Academy Evening tonight right now.

Glad you got some help and liked your first time experience.

Thanks Mark and Joan for helping.

Lee :)
