RAW shots of stars converted to Jpg in DPP lose colour. Can this be avoided?

[ScottHolder]

I took a RAW shot of Jupiter with my EOS T3i, and background stars appear in red and blue, as well as white. However, when converted to JPG in Digital Photo Professional, the stars lose their color and all are white. Is there a way to convert to JPG without this colour loss?

Also, Photoshop CS2 will not read the .CR2 files. Is there a workaround? If not, is there another photo editor I can use?

Here is a photo of Venus taken with nearly your same equipment. A T4i and the kit lens.

Great image!  When I try to take the same thing, all I get are clouds.  I think I need to move to a state with clearer skies.
