PS 7 and raw format

[Willy wombat]

Ok so i have a little problem/question about PS 7 and Raw format editing.

I understand that i need to download a plugin to make all the features of RAw editing available to me but im looking on the adobe website and they only appear to offer a pluging for PS CS?

Is there a plugin for PS7 or can i download the CS plugin? Does anyone use PS 7 and if so have you successfully used a raw plugin. Where did you get it?

Cheers for help

I found this interesting link to some information on my problem.

I would still like to hear from anyone who has had a similar experience.

I tried d/l raw support for PS 7 awhile back but it didn't work (using PS 7 Enterprise Edition). It's true that once you have the Nikon software, you'll be able to edit the files, but it's not the greatest. Upon opening the file, you'll see the exposure comp. show up (allowing you to change the EV if necessary), but it shows the picture in a preview size window.

I've since switched to using Nikon Capture for most of my processing (will allow you to process RAW) and then switch over to PS 7 (most recently CS) for cropping and resizing.

This info from the Adobe Forums

Q: I have Photoshop 7, with Adobe Camera Raw 1; will there be an update to support the new cameras?
A: No, only Camera Raw 2, compatible with Photoshop CS, will receive updates (until the next major version of Photoshop is released).

CS2 will have a MUCH better RAW processing unit, batch processing, like the better software.

Ahh NUTS!

Looks like i will have to keep saving then

Raw processing in PS7 with Nikon plugin is only so-so.
