Couldn't open RAW files in photoshop?

Look on Adobe's site for the plug in for the 30D, the files can't be read
with your present setup.

I shot some RAW's with Canon 30D and photoshop CS2 doesn't open either of
them...so, could someone be so nice and tell me what is it that i'm doing
wrong? I get an error: "Could not complete your request beacause it is not
the right kind of document"

Adobe's DNG and Camera Raw updates are never included in their auto-updates.
You will have to check Adobe's site periodically for the updates.

Need DNG? Strictly speaking -- no, at least if you simply want to go from
your camera's RAW format -- through the Plugin and its potential
adjustments -- into PS2 for some final work before saving out to whatever
you plan for the final output to be.
However, there are those who are using the DNG file format to archive their
files (with or without the original RAW file embedded within the DNG file
and available for later extraction, should you wish) which has the side
benefit of simplifying the handling of the "Sidecar" files for each photo
produced by PS2.
It works, and it works well. However, I'm sure the "experts" here will
chime in with their own workflow scenarios which will differ from mine as,
undoubtedly, each individual workflow does differ somewhat.
For a excellent reference on the subject I would recommend Bruce Fraser's
"Real World Camera Raw With Adobe PS CS2". It really should be considered
as required reading.

I'll vouch for the book also. Additionally, Bruce Fraser has a 4 page free
PDF on Understanding Digital RAW Capture that's a good primer.

The following page describes benefits available from DNG. Whether
particular photographers can get any benefit from DNG depends on their
workflow and the tools they use. (The situation gradually improves over
time).

Not everyone can get immediate benefit yet, or enough benefit to
counter any perceived disadvantages. Others have been exploiting it for
up to 23 months. (It was launched 23 months ago today).

great. Thanks to both, guys. I guess this book doesn't come in pdf...
right now i'm looking as much as i can find regarding photography - shooting
and later working with photos on a PC. I'm determent that i will learn to
use it as much as i can, since otherwise purchase will be wasted
money---right?
