Title: D3 raw images in CS2
Post by: Bill Cooper on April 11, 2008, 10:54:43 am

Have a Nikon D3 on order. I currently use a Mac G5, OSX 10.4.11 and Photoshop CS2. Will I be able to open the D3 raw images directly in PS CS2 or Bridge, or do I need to get a Raw plug-in. If so, where do I get the plug-in?

The Adobe Camera Raw plug in that supports the D3 will not work with CS2. You either need to upgrade to CS3 or use the Adobe DNG converter, which will convert the D3 NEFs to DNG, which can be processed by the Camera Raw plug in that works with CS2, ACR 3.x, I believe.

Indeed - you need a plug-in: CS3. You may get it in Adobe Store.
