Photoshop CS3 won't open K20d PEF files

GeneV · 06-26-2009, 03:32 PM

Am I missing something that shows my ignorance? Photoshop CS3 will open PEF files from my K10d, but not from my new K20d. What am I missing?

i think you need a update for camera raw.

camera raw 5.X doesn't work for cs3, so you have to get 4.X.

download link for 4.4.1 which definitely supports the k20d:
Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Windows : Adobe DNG Converter and Camera Raw 4.4.1 update

[edit]
found an update to 4.6. i believe this is the latest version for cs3.

Is there a difference in PEF files?

you mean between the k10d and the k20d ? yes, but i can`t tell you what exactly the difference is.

did you try to update camera raw? this will probably solve your problem.

I guess there is a difference, because I updated CS3 and it works.

Thanks.
