I hope someone can give me a pointer with this problem I’m having moving from a Windows PC to a Mac. On my PC, I had PS-CS installed, with the Camera Raw plugin. Everything works fine. I can access and manipuldate my raw images from my Nikon D70.
I just bought a Mac G5 with 10.3. I’m waiting for the new CDs to arrive from Adobe (fortunately converting a Windows license to a Mac license isn’t too big a deal except for the waiting time) so I downloaded the 30- day trial version of PS. I then downloaded and installed the Camera Raw plugin into the /Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS/Plug-Ins/File Formats directory, as per instructions. I restarted PS, navigated to a nef file, double clicked on it and got the following error message:
"Unable to use the Camer Raw plug-in. It is not compatible with this host."
I searched around on the net but found few hits with useful information. One person said that I needed to install NikonView. So I did that and noticed that a couple of plugin files from its installation were copied to the PhotoShop directory. I thought that was cool. Maybe, indeed, I was missing some magic Nikon specific files. I restarted PS. Unfortunately, I got the same error. I’m running out of ideas. Does anyone have any suggestion as to what I might do next?
As a last resort, I will call Adobe for help. They already said they won’t support someone with a trial license and I don’t want to wait an additional week until my new CDs (and serial number) arrive.
Thanks for any assistance.
