How to open RAW files is CS3?

[MohaimenK]

Ok read this. Take the CDs that came with your camera and install the program called Digital Photo Professional which will allow you do mess w/ RAW files and send them to CS3. Also you can highlight each RAW files in your DPP program and click "Batch All" on the top right and select what you want to transfer it to, Jpeg, tiff, etc

using cs3 and clicking "save as" Jpeg isn't an option I downloaded Contenta Converter and had them converted to jpeg, but now can't find them anywhere on my computer! I think RAW was a bad idea

Are you sure you are reducing your size to 8 bit before you save (Edit->Mode->8bit)? If you don't do that, you can't save from CS3 as JPEG.

I think its a joke Adobe's different versions aren't all provided with raw plugins for newer cameras, I've found the best solution is conversion to DNG with the free converter, takes a little extra time but any version of PS can open DNG raws. The cameras own software imo isn't great and I have enough programs installed so I never use camera software and don't install, my NEF files convert and open as DNG now in CS1. H
