well i set my camera to take raw shots and well i can't seem to get ps cs2 to open them any suggestions they are .orf files

hmm I have heard that cs2 doesn't support RAW or something like that so maybe you want to upgrade it to cs3... IDK :s

well i got it to open in photoshop elements 5.0 but the colors look all fucking retarded

lmfao! Well first of all I don't know anything about RAW processing but from what I have heard that you are supposed to change colors and other settings that's the point with shooting in RAW. I am sure uhhh ms/Fräulein Tomes will be able to tell you everything about RAW .

i was reading the guides and they said to shoot in raw lmao but its totally confusing me glad i only took like 2 -3 shots and of nothing special coz if i wasted shots with it that i couldn;t get to work i'd be very angry

Have you read this guide?

I think this is the guide that should have been stickied


heh I doubt the mods know anything about photography in the first place and choose to get those stuff that are very easy to find online stickied lol.

someone should possibly pm a mod and see if we can get it stickied cause thats really usefull looks like i might need to dl cs3 coz its got a lot more settings than elements 5 and might get a better results

alright got that (lightroom) works good i think i under exposed my pics a lot lol and that wasn't helping things i'll have a bit more of a play with some new shots tommorow i think

if your camera has raw editing software, which it should have came with then just tweek it there, then convert to jpeg and play with the jpeg in photoshop

you need the newer version of adobe camera raw which you can download here: http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/cameraraw.html

Or you could use Olympus Master or Studio and those might work as well.
