O.K. I have purchased and installed Photoshop CS2. When I tried to open a RAW file, I got an error message. After much web searching, I found that I had to download the Adobe Camera RAW 3.1 update. I've done that, and installed the new RAW plug-in in the correct folder (I think).

NOW when I try to open a RAW file, I get:

"could not complete your request because this version of photoshop does not supply the services required by this plug-in module"


?????

Has anyone else seen this error? My RAW files are Nikon NEF's from a D70.

Did you reboot after dropping in the plug-in? I may be all wet, but I seem to remember that being necessary. :dunno

No, but I'll try that now. Didn't see it in the instructions.

One item of confusion was in the installation instructions for the plug-in, it said:

Navigate to Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS2\File Formats

On my computer there was no folder "Plug-ins" under Program Files\Common Files\Adobe

I have since created that directory tree and installed the file there in addition to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop CS\Plug-Ins.

I still get the same error. :dunno:humungus

On mine the tree goes like this.

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS2\File Formats\Camera Raw.8BI

Yes, I have created that tree as I said above. Didn't help.

Perhaps you downloaded the raw plugin for CS, not CS2.

I have Photoshop 8.0. Is this the same as CS2?

No it's not! The plug-in for CS works.

Problem solved.:):
