I'm glad you were able to open it! No it won't open a CR2. I heard Picasa will work on Raw files but that ain't much of a photo editor, LOL. In other programs like free faststone image viewer and irfanview it will be possible to see them but I think they MAY just show the jpg that is embedded in Raw files.

Judy, I went to firefox which Martha uses and it opened it as a CR2 file. Being a Nikon user, I was puzzled at first as to what a CR2 file was. After a google search, I found that it was Canon's raw format. Photoshop Elements opened it with no problem. Frank may not be able to open it though as I think he uses Nikon's processing program. I doubt it would open a Canon RAW file. He will let us know.

Do you want to see them before or after your attempts?? In case you want to know how Dropbox works in advance, there is a document that comes with the installation and it says: The Public Folder lets you easily share single files in your Dropbox. Any file you put in this folder gets its own Internet link so that you can share it with others-- even non-Dropbox users! These links work even if your computer's turned off. Step 1: Drop a file into the Public folder. Step 2: Right-click/control-click this file, then choose Dropbox > Copy Public Link. This copies the Internet link to your file so that you can paste it somewhere else. That's it! You can now share this file with others: just paste the link into e-mails, instant message conversations, blogs, etc.! If you'd like more help with sharing files, head here: http://www.dropbox.com/help/16 Happy Dropboxing! - The Dropbox Team Note: You can only link to actual files within your Public Folder, not to folders.
