Help! Trevor/PJ no support for 1D MkII in photoshop CS

[Peter_AUS]

Why don't you download the newest version of Capture One and play with it for a month and see. Seems like a bit of copout to buy such an expensive camera and scrimp on conversion software.

Why do professional photographers use Capture One probably more than any other conversion program.

Yes they have different versions, probably the SE version would suit you best unless you want to go straight to the PRO version. I purchased the SE version and 5 upgrade pack special they offered, which gives me about 3 years of upgrades potentially, by then they will have another special for getting up to the PRO version I am sure.

Peter,

I gave Lionheart advice in another thread when he was looking for RAW software to consider using pgohotsohp's RAW if he already had it or planned on buying it. What I didn't realize is that it doesn't support the MKII.

So that's why he got Photoshop.

On another note; I'm not a fan of Capture One. It's productivity improvments aren't meaningful to me and I don't realize any of the benefits doing what I do. It's not for everyone and the price is high for the MKII as it requires PRO or SE versions ($499 or $249)

If Lionheart ever planned on getting Photoshop it made sense for him to get it for the RAW conversion as well (except we mistakingly assumed it would be supported!!! I would call Adobe and get my refund until the model is supported)

An extra 250 to 500 is a lot to spend on software that performs a single task and that the user may not require.

Generically speaking, I don't buy the argument of "since you spent so much on ABC what's another few dollars on XYZ" or "Why lesson that value of your top of the line ABC by not buying top of the line XYZ". Evey purchase a smart consumer makes is based on need, not based on what's the best.

I don't like seeing that reason thrown around to justify a purchase. In the past, I've bought things with the same line of thought and after a while learned that it was stupid. Assess the need, and go from there.

Lionheart,

I'm sorry that I suggested Photoshop when it doesn't support the MKII. I hope things work out for you.

I looked into things further and found this link:

It's telling me that I read the camera support page correctly but that maybe you don't have camera raw 2.2 or 2.3 installed.

All cameras listed on this page are supported:
http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/cameraraw.html

But only the one's with the arrows next to them are supported in the shipped version of Photoshop CS. All the other ones without the arrows require you to upgrade the camera raw plugin.

The current version of the camera RAW plugin is 2.3. It looks like support for 1D MKII was added in version 2.2

Did you download ans install the 2.3 update found here?:

Let me know the status.
