Adobe Camera Raw plugin for Photoshop 7

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?

    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.

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

          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?

            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.
