  First, you must download Adobe Camera Raw Plug-In 4.1.1 here :

  Here are the directions to install Adobe Camera Raw Plug-In 4.1.1:

  To install with Adobe Creative Suite 3 or Photoshop CS3:
  - Exit Photoshop CS3.
  - Open My Computer.
  - Double-click Local Disk (C:).
  - Navigate to: c:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS3\File Formats
  - Move the existing Camera Raw.8bi plug-in to another directory. Make you keep this file in case you need to rollback.
  - Copy the Camera Raw plug-in, Camera Raw.8bi, from the download into the same folder as in step 4.

  Launch Photoshop CS3 or Adobe Bridge
  If generic camera thumbnails appear in Adobe Bridge, follow these steps:
  - Check to make sure the plug-in was installed in the correct directory in step 4 above.
  Start Bridge.
  - Choose Tools > Cache > Purge Central Cache.
  - You can now open the .CR2 Raw files in Adobe Photoshop CS3.
