Hello. I shoot photos in raw format and then retouch them in Photoshop CC. I am using Canon 400d. I installed Photoshop Elements 2.0 but i wasn't able to open camera raw file. It said: Could not open because it is not the right kind of document.

    Unfortunately, pse 2 is too old to have a modern camera raw plugin, though you could buy one back in the day

    from adobe for around $100, that plugin is only good if you have a camera circa when pse 2 came out.

    The camera raw plugin that we know today started shipping with pse 3.

    Anyhow, the camera raw plugin for photoshop cc is the best adobe offers, so if you want to open a camera raw photo

    in pse 2, you could open it in photoshop cc and then save as a tif or psd and open that in pse 2.
