I accidentally deleted some photos from a memory card. I recovered them using software called "Recover My Files". This software recovered the files but now I can't open them in CS3. I took these with an old Canon Rebel DSLR and they should not need converting, they opened fine before I deleted them. Any advice much appreciated. I really need these photos. Thanks.

You want to look for and download Canon RAW Codec. if you don't have it installed already.

http://software.canon-europe.com/products/0010371.asp.

also try right clicking them and then select 'open with' then 'choose default program (in the next box that pops up make sure you put a tick in the box that says 'Always use the selected program to open this type of file') and then select Photoshop.

Let us know how you get on.

Thanks but they won't open with photoshop cs3, is the raw codec the same as the raw plug-in? I have the raw plug-in updated, it still doesn't work.

Just got them to work by recovering them again with a free program called PhotoRec. Thanks for replies.

Glad you got them working again. Was my next suggestion - corrupt files but you're there now so all good :)
