RAW help!

I've been using a Minolta Dimage 7 for a few years and recently started to use RAW files properly (am still a complete beginner). Yesterday, I took delivery of a Konica minolta 5D SLR, today I excitedly took a load of photos, and came back to open them up in photoshop and it said it didn't like the file type. I then downloaded Raw Shooter essentials 2005 and in the folder that they're located, it says there are "no supported RAW files". Surely they'd support the files from this camera???

Both cameras call the files .MRW.

I'm very confused!?!?!?!?

Please help!!

Which version of Photoshop are you using, you can download the latest plug in if it CS2.? As for Rawshooter you may have to buy the latest version.

The latest plug-in won't work on CS.

The only thing I can suggest is you get CS2 or the latest Rawshooter.
