Yes, that is the way PS has worked for years. No particular problem with that. It seems reasonable and fair to me.
The problem though is that I am leaving my wife on PS7, which is completely sufficient for her limited needs — as long as I can get Canon RAW files to work in it.
I purchased the RAW/JPEG 2000 plug-in some time ago and am just now getting around to trying to get it to work. It _should_ work with PS7 according to the docs. After all, that was the current PS when I bought it.
However, I am unable to open those files. In the Open File dialog, they are greyed out. In the Browser, they are not visible. The same files view and open fine under PS CS, which supposedly just has that same plug-in preinstalled (OK, a simplication, but the function is now standard)
Thus, back to my original question — has anyone had any problems using the RAW plug-in under PS7, and what did you do to correct the problem if so.
This whole discussion of having PS on two machines is a red herring relative to my initial question (and the thread title).

Allows you to have CS on (I think from memory) 3 but for sure 2, machines. What it does not allow is for those computers to all be using the software at the same time.
Presumably the reasoning behind this is that your prime PC at work is 1. Your notebook which you take on shoots is 2. The PC you use at home for doing all that unpaid overtime is number 3. Just be sure you don’t use Photoshop on more than one PC at any one time or you will need extra licenses.
It sound to me as if the situation of having 2 photographers wanting to use the program would require an extra license otherwise you will have to take turns at it… !! "Are you finished yet Burt? It’s my turn already! Doug
