Images from my Canon camera are opening as Camera Raw and I can't convert them to jpg or Photoshop files. Apparently there's a simple way to do this, but I have no idea what it is.

IF indeed you shot raw, then what Stephen said will 'convert' to JPEG. If you shot JPEGs and they are opening in ACR and you want JPEGs to just open in Photoshop proper, check your preferences for this option as ACR can open a JPEG if so desired.
