Yes indeed. It works. Now to see if opening the files directly will save time. I've been batch converting in RSE and discarding quite a high percentage. This may save time. Thanks a
whole lot. I should have done this long ago.

This has been mentioned here many many times, but it bears repeating. If you're new to CS/ACR2.x or CS2/ACR3.x, you will save a tremendous amount of time by obtaining Bruce Fraser's "Real World Camera Raw with Photoshop [ CS | CS2 ]" (pick the edition that matches the version of Photoshop you're using as there are substantial differences). Learning how to use File Browser/Bridge to sort and select RAW files for processing, how to develop a set of RAW processing parameters, how to apply them to a lot of files easily and quickly, learning how to automate the tedious and repetitive processes ... learning how to use the software tools effectively is very important to being productive.

Bruce's book is about the best presented collection of the RAW concepts and workflow paradigm I've found. Alluding to one previous thread, it's not about photography so much as it's about the software tools used to make photography possible.
