does anyone know way i cant open a raw file in photoshop?

do you have camera raw?

yeah i got camera raw 4.2?

what photoshop's version do you have?

are you sure that camera raw 4.2 support your camera file?



can you tell us a bit more?

i got cs4 and im camera is a panasonic fz38? i dont know much about computers

i will keep looking

There's this free small program called Irfanview, you can download...it opens .Raw files, than you can save as TIFF etc.

Ok some copies of photoshop do not have any file designation for RAW images...but wait thats not all...if you go to the adobe site there is a patch or a fix-it-thing that will alow you to use cs3 (Thats what I got and thats how I solved my problem)...Im sure there is a patch or code or sumtin that will let you fix ya problem

thanks

I haven't used raw in a while but if I remember correctly I had to (in cs3 ex) go to bridge>file>open with camera raw. From there I could adjust the photo, I could then close it or have it open in ps.

I found a free update for CS4 camera raw (vs 5.7): http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4683

If you don't have it you might want to look into the free Adobe DNG converter: http://www.adobe.com/products/dng/

Don't know if you have windows or mac version, make sure that you get the right download version.

Hope it helps and takes care of your problem, John

I agree with what JW said above. Adobe Camera RAW 5.7 supports Panasonic DMC-FZ38.
Alternately, go with the RAW processing software that came with the camera - Silkypix

anyone else getting spam through pm?... it's just one Moviezzbazee but i have gotten a few now.

No

I usually just drag those types of files into the photoshop icon.

in the windows box, in the quick launch icon i placed there.

In the mak, i put one in the dock so i can drad pics into it. opens photoshop with the file in both windows and mac for me.
