Canon G9 RAW, same as Canon 300d RAW?

Can my Photoshop CS handle the RAW files from a Canon G9?

 

No.

 

you will probably have to wait until Adobe update ACR.

 

Does Adobe update ACR for CS2?

 

Or just use PhotoLine 32 to see if it can open them (which I bet it will, in 6
different RAW data demosaicing algorithms no less). Then you'll also see the
difference between a 16-bit PhotoShop platform (Windows 1.0 quality), compared
to a full 32 bit math platform.

I dont think it support the G9 and Im not sure if Adobe will make another
version of ACR for CS/CS2. They are like Microsoft now, they want to force
us to upgrade.

*New to this release of the Photoshop Camera Raw plug-in.

DNG native cameras
The Photoshop Camera Raw plug-in versions 2.3 and later can open DNG
(Digital Negative) files. Cameras that natively capture files in the DNG
format are therefore compatible with the Photoshop Camera Raw plug-in. For
more information about the DNG format, visit the Digital Negative page on
the Adobe website.

The following cameras can capture in the DNG format. In the future, more
camera models may add support for the DNG format. Consult the documentation
for your camera for information on whether your camera has this capability.

a.. H2D
Leica

a.. Digital-Modul-R
b.. M8

you wont see any difference, Photoline 32 is all but great.

Stay with your CS/CS2/CS3

 

If you do stay with CS/CS2/CS3 then every time you try to level/rotate an image
or resize your image PhotoShop will blur any details due to only having bicubic
as its best resampling algorithm. Any time you try to edit 16-bit images it will
throw away half your data in having to round off any values above its 16-bit
math limitations. You spend hundreds and thousands of dollars on your camera
only to spend another $700 on software to blur your images and throw away half
of your valuable data. That's so smart of you. If your vision isn't good enough
to notice any of this, then by all means, please do keep using PhotoShop. Far be
it from me stopping you from making your images worse than they already are.

I'm beginning to see how Adobe is able to charge so much money, they work off of
P.T. Barnum's money-making side-show scam. "There's a sucker born every minute."
The only difference is that Adobe's customers _are_ the side-show. So much for
all those "PhotoShop Pros" having any credibility. They're not even bright
enough to know how to pick out editing software that won't ruin their images.
When you stop to think how long they've been this stupid it boggles the mind.

 

No, CS2 is obsolete just like CS.

When ACR (for CS3) is updated to include your camera you can
use the same updated version of the free stand-alone DNG
converter to convert your Canon raw files to DNG format,
which can be opened with any version of ACR from 2.4
onwards, so you can use CS to open them.
