Adobe Camera Raw plugin for Photoshop 7

[mscir2]

Is it still possible to purchase the Adobe Camera Raw plugin for Photoshop 7?

If so, can the plugin read *.raw files from an Olympus C-8080?

[Chris Cox]

No, that hasn't been available for many years.

Thanks Chris,

Looks like it's time to buy a RAW editor, upgrading to CS costs quite a bit...

I love Photoshop 7, it does everything I need but read RAW files, I had been

hoping to use Photoshop for all of my photo processing needs but it looks like

that won't be possible.

Thanks,

Mike

These are the cameras listed as supported for camera raw 1.0 (the version for ps 7/pse 2) so it doesn't look like your camera is supported anyway.

There are a few free and open source raw converters that work very well and most can be set up to open the files into photoshop, although

they are standalone converters not plugins.

Have you tried using the software for your camera? Looks like Olympus has one available for PS 6.0 and up.

C-8080 Software:

HI mattscreative,

Yes I've installed that but that imports .orf files and my camera saves .raw files.

Thanks,

Mike

Can you post a link to one of your non-ORF RAW files, using www.yousendit.com or www.dropbox.com or some other such service?

Apologies, I misread the manual, the RAW files are stored as ORF not RAW as I originally posted. The plugin from Olympus does import and adjust the ORF files into Photoshop 7.

So for now the issue is resolved. I read so many good things about CS I think I may upgrade anyway, the RAW interface looks better, not to mention all of the other features.

Thanks to everyone who posted, the response in this forum is really impressive!

How do I mark the question Answered so the discussion is closed and the issue is marked Resolved?

Was there ever a Camera Raw that worked with Photoshop 7?  I never had 7, so I don't know.  I thought Camera Raw came out initially with Photoshop CS.

You don't get every last Camera Raw feature with it, but a cost conscious alternative to upgrading to Photoshop CS5.1 could be to buy Photoshop Elements 10.  You could do your conversions there then the rest of your editing in Photoshop 7, though arguably the current version of Elements may actually be more powerful than Photoshop 7.0, which didn't even have layered editing on 16 bit images (a limitation still in Elements).

The camera raw version is one higher than the CS version (CS5 has ACR6) so PS7 had ACR 1.x, but ACR 1.x didn’t support the DNG spec from what I remember.
