    Here is what I found Kat.

    If you have LR as well, download to LR and export as a Tiff file to CS3. But basically they say you have to convert the file to a Tiff file to use CS3.



    Here is a link to ViewNX:

    Thanks! Then I guess I should either update or use tiff from the camera..lol.

    I'll get to reading that as soon as I have a moment!

    Thanks Jas! Very much appreciated!

    I installed it and I can view the images on the transfer/upload thing but I can't open the Raw ones in photoshop. I keep getting an error message.

    You can try the free DNG converter. That'll work with CS3...

    It converts your Nikon specific RAW files to the Adobe standard of RAW. Using DNG files (digital negative) keeps all the information of the RAW, but uses a generic file format. DNG can be opened by every software imaginable...

    You can get a free converter to turn all your NEF files into DNG without loss of information and this will solve all compatibility problems.

    (God, I do sound like a salesperson. I do mean it though...)

    In college the library still has CS2 and I found I could not use my Pentax RAW files with it. On reading however I found there was a plug-in to allow it to work. Since I don't have admin rights I never went into it any further.

    CS4 was the same and some functions don't work until you install the plug-ins contact sheet I know required a plug-in and it catches one out when moving from computer to computer as you forget which functions are standard and which need adding.
