Hi guys. I have CS (not CS2) and was wondering if you could help me. This has not been an issue before, because I always shot jpeg with a point and shoot, but now I have a dSLR and shoot RAW. I have downloaded and installed the Camera Raw plugin for CS from the website, followed the direction to a
"t", and it still won’t open. The thumbnails of the .NEF files in the file browser show, but when clicked on, I get the error message "Not the right kind of document". Help!!

See the Camera RAW forum.

Most likely you did NOT install it correctly.

Couldn’t find anything there, and I did everything according to the directions that came with the download. I’ll look again at the forum, I guess.

Which version did you install?

You know that only versions up to and including 2.4 are supported by CS, right? So if you got a hold of a current 3.x version intended for CS2, you might get the error message you’re receiving…

I downloaded every update from Adobe’s website for CS. I started from the bottom up (i.e. 2.1 to whatever the highest was….). None worked.

What camera is the .NEF coming from?

Did you check that the particular body was supported in the early versions of Camera Raw? Anything newer than about a D1x era is unlikely to be supported….

D70s. I made sure that it was listed.

Bzzzzt.

Sorry, wrong answer. D70s support started in ACR 3.2, which only works with CS2.

None of the early ACR version 2.x packages that work with CS1 support your camera.

Details are on the download page: < http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=3070>

I think your choices are to upgrade to CS2; generate DNG files from your RAW files, which you can then open in CS; or play with the Nikon add-ins that ship with Nikon View and Nikon’s other programs. Not as cool/powerful as the Adobe RAW plug-in, but free and better than nothing if you can get it working.
