Hi, for the first time I have set the 70D on the raw + jpeg setting and would like to have a try at a bit of processing using the raw files.
I only have CR2 installed, what do I need to open and work with the files.
 
CR2?

.cr2 is canon raw format files, and these can be opened in Canon's DPP software that came with your camera - alternatively Adobe Lightroom, Photoshop Elements or other versions of Photoshop using Adobe Camera RAW. Additionally many other photo manipulation software packages will read Canon raw files.
 
Sorry Andrew, being a long day, that should have read photoshop cs3.
I will dig out the software disc and see where we go from there
Never really bothered with a lot of processing so I am very green on the whole subject
 
CS3 won't be new enough to read the raw files form your 70D I'm afraid.

You could use the Canon software that came with the camera though....
 
Could not find disc that came with camera so have downloaded appropriate Canon software and can now open and work with raw files, so will see how I get on before deciding whether to try anything different. Thanks for the help
