ok, i just shot this pic of my pooch and the camera was set for jpeg.
all went smoothly, i opened it in photoshop without a problem.
i guess i need an alternative for raw files but that zoombrowser will do for now till i figure out how digital is gonna fit in my photo life.
her name is sugar, btw.

Joe, the G2 comes with Photoshop Elements 2, which does not work with raw images. However, you can use the s/n to upgrade to Photoshop Elements 3 which does support raw file conversion. PSE3, btw, is a really excellent low-cost version of Photoshop -- it has a surprisingly large subset of the features in Photoshop CS.backalley photo said:
Also, if you download the free and totally wonderful image browser Irfanview and the free plugins, it can view raw images.

Joe,
I also have PS Elements 2. There is no RAW file converter in it. I believe PS Elements 3 does but, then again, that's another $100... unless they're including PS Elements 3 with some cameras now. Hey! That would give you an excuse to go buy another digital camera. LOL!

I have to admit that I rarely, if ever, need to shoot RAW files, as on my DiMAGE 7i the highest-image-quality/lowest-compression JPEG settings are more than good enough to print excellent 8x10s.
The camera should come with basic image editing software which will allow you to do the RAW-to-TIFF or RAW-to-JPEG conversion as well as change white balance and some other settings. Once you've done that, save and open in Photoshop. Ideally it would be nice to have the plug-in for PS so you could stay in the same program, but budgets being what they are, I'd go with what you have for now - that way you can spend more on extra flash cards, rechargable batteries...
