Hello,

Just used my Canon s60 and wp dc40 housing for the first time. I didn't expect much as it was my first time out , and, I was pleasantly suprised.

However, I am having trouble getting photoshop to recognize the raw files. The only program that wil open anything other than the jpeg version of the files is the canon file viewer. I don't remember ever having this problem with my digital rebel. Although I don't often shoot with it in raw.

Do I need another version of photoshop? I am working with basic photoshop elements, and, it has worked okay for me in the past. Do I need the s60 software downloaded? Or is this camera compatible with my software from the digital rebel?

Thanks..

Danny

Try downloading the Adobe Raw update. I think this is the most recent. Every camera seems to have its own version of raw and Adobe updates it periodically. It says it works with elements 3.0 and 4.0.

Or check out Adobe Lightbox. There is a beta version for free right now and it may help you.

I agree, probably the Adobe Raw needs updating. If that's not it, however, make sure you camera is actually supported. The readme file should have a listing of cameras that are supported. The S60 is slightly older, if I'm remembering my S series cameras correctly, is it possible Adobe doesn't have support for it?

It worked for me!

Adobe says that It does not support any Elements prior to 3.0 (I have 2.0)....I tried lightbox and it works, It's just a bit busy and extremely detailed. I will probably have to grow into a program like that as my editing experience thus far is with the Elements 2.0......

The upgrade to Elements 3.x or 4.x should be pretty cheap, I'd think.

Ah....Elements 2.0 doesn't handle RAW files as far as I remember. You need 3.0 or 4.0. It's less than $100 though so not so incredibly expensive. To edit with 2.0 you'd probably have to open the file with the Canon software and then save it as a TIFF. Elements can handle the TIFF and although you'd lose a bit due to compression etc like that you would still get a decent result.

thanks for all the input...I will just upgrade to 3.0 or 4.0...
