I'm suprised it even let you get that far. You need a version of ACR
that knows your camera. It's a free download at Adobe. For PS7 you
probably also need to convert to DNG, the DNG converter comes with ACR,
you may need a newer DNG converter with the older ACR component to be
compatible with your PS version.
