In Nikon's View NX2 there's an option to view the focus point of a raw image. Is there a way to do this with ACR or PSE 11?

I do not believe it is possible. Since you can see the focus point in View NX2, why would you need to see it in PSE or ACW?

Because I can't use View NX2 with cr2 raw files.

Well, you've got me there. I don't know of a program that will show the focus point with cr2 RAW files. Perhaps others will chime in. I agree that the focus point is a very handy bit of information to have.

Thanks for responding! Hopefully some one does chime in.
I use Aperture and it shows where my focal points are.
Bingo! I have a program that will display the focus point on cr2 files. The program is PhotoMe.

You can also use Canon's free software called Digital Photo Professional or DPP as some call it.

Oops, sorry... I may have misunderstood the question. You are looking for software that can view both CR2 and NX2 files, right?

No, you were right the first time. Thanks.
I want to avoid installing another program and spending my time learning to use it. Plus I'm having a problem with my DVD drive not being recognized.
Google BreezeBrowser and download the free trial it will show you the focus points
I believe you can do it in Photoshop.

No, you can't. This feature is only designed to be used with the proprietary software that comes with the camera or with the proprietary software that one purchases for that camera. Canon cameras come with a program such as DPP, that will decipher all of the embedded special features while 3rd party software companies can not be troubled with this.
For instance, some Canon camera's can shoot in raw and be set for a certain picture style, crop, white balance, etc. raw files opened in DPP will decipher this embedded code in each raw image and allow the software to use this in the image. If that same image is opened in LR or ACR it will be ignored only allowing the raw picture data to be manipulated. 3rd party software simply ignores focus point, picture style, crops etc.

Your information is not correct. As I mentioned in an earlier post I can display the focus point of cr2 files in PhotoMe.
