Will we be seeing support for Canon Raw files in Photoshop?

Currently you can't open or edit Canon raw files in anything but Digital Photo Professional (supplied on the support disk with the Canon PS SX1IS camera)

I have adobe lightroom and it reads raw files from canon and nikon, and since lightroom and photoshop have the same raw engine, it should work in photoshop also...

Thanks Eric

That makes sense, but I have not been able to open the Canon Raw (.CR2) files in Photoshop (CS2) or iPhoto '09 (ver8.0.2), my main photo browser... Could the Raw files from the SX1 be a new format?
