Otherwise ACR 4.2 is required for direct processing of 40D Raws, and ACR 4.x works only with PS CS3.

Or use canons Dpp which will convert the 40d raw files

Thanks Alan, the trouble im having is that the DNG converter wont even convert the files, i just keep getting a message "There was an error passing the files", so i am using picassa at the moment to convert them.
Never had this trouble with my other Canons

Have a look at Rawtherapee as well ... it's free and seems to work ok.

Follow this link this should take you to the camera raw 3.7 update for windows and possibbley the dng converter this version reconises nikonD40 and is for CS2 I have both these items, A quick check is to open CS2 goto help about plugins and it will give current version if not 3.7 then get update through link.

It seems it is true...

Raw Files on CS2 and 40D

I presume all of this is because software manufacturers dont like to maintain multiple levels of historic software?

Many thanks everyone for your help here, i have finally downloaded the right plug in and the 40D files are now being converted ok in DNG converter, so at least i can work on the images in CS2!! Hooray!
