I am a relative novice to desktop manipulation and CS3

I have taken test RAW images with my Canon and would ideally like a guide to
transferring them to Photoshop so that I can edit them.

which canon camera?

do you have the latest camera raw plugin (v 4.6 for cs3)? if not, you
might need to update it (free) at adobe.com for support for your
camera.

then all you need to do is open the raw image as you would any other
image, and camera raw will appear.

You might find it simpler to install ufraw. It will read the raw files,
allow you to do basic editing and save output in various formats.

false. there's one camera raw plugin and it supports numerous cameras.

at worst, he only needs to update it to the latest version.

that's a possibility. he said it's a canon camera, and the only canon
cameras that are not supported in cs3 is the canon 5d mark ii and g10.

Wrong answer. Not for someone already using PS CS3.

Could still be easier than sorting through all the plug-ins as previously
advised.

that advice was wrong. there's only *one* camera raw plugin for cs3,
although he may need to update it to the latest version.

There's nothing to "transfer". You just open the files like any other
image files.

Assuming that you have a legal copy of Photoshop it should be trivial.
