Question
I just got Adobe Photoshop CS3.  I like to shoot in raw.  When I try to open a raw
file in Photoshop CS3, a box comes up saying "Photoshop doesn't recognize this
file" or something of that nature.  I even found the CD that came with my Canon
Rebel XSi Camera and downloaded it, thinking that would solve the problem.  It
didn't work.  HELP!

Answer
Hi Dottie,

I wish I responding with better news.  Camera raw for cs3 does not support your camera- it is too new and that software is almost 4 years old. Unfortunatle you will have to either use the software with your camera or upgrade to cs4 or 5...
