LightRoom Software & .crw files from Canon hack

[JCAT]

Not sure where to post this, however my camera is a Canon A570 IS, so here goes.

I just received this bit of software and was wondering if anybody had used it before.

I'm using CHDK for RAW and quickly realized that Lightroom did not recognize the *.crw files and declared them corrupted. However Picaso has no issue with the format and opens them with no worries.

I tried using Adobes DNG to batch convert them for importation into Lightroom, but to no avail.

Would Photoshop cs3 be a better choice than LightRoom for post processing?

thanks

You need this:

DNG4PS-2

Adobe wont read the .crw files either - just use the above to batch convert them to DNG then pretty much everything should read them.

Thank You Sir!

That sorted it.

That link is dead now, but this one works as of today:

dng4ps2 - Project Hosting on Google Code

and if that one dies after I post this, try going to the chdk wiki for new links:

DNG4PS-2 - CHDK Wiki

IME, DNG4PS2 on Mac OS X (Leopard) is very buggy. I find myself having to run the program multiple times in order batch convert multiple .crw files. Do others have the same issue?
