Well your advice worked. I apologize for may lack of knowledge of Photoshop and photo editing software. Even though I was into SLR 35mm film photography back in the 70's using a Nikon F2 and Leica M I have near zero experience with digital photography and photo editing software such as Photoshop and similar. Years ago there was only a dark room and there were no PCs. I use to look forward to working in a dark room as it was once an integral part of photography. I really I haven't any need to edit photos until recently purchasing my first Nikon DSLR, sort of weird isn't it as I've been operating, building or repairing computers nearly every day since 1981, back when we use to access the Intranet using a 150 baud modem through a VAX mainframe. I think I may have tried to install 3.7 camera raw update, but it didn't get copied to C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS2\File Formats Once copied to the correct path CS2 now opens .NEF files created by the Nikon DSLR. Yes I need to upgrade and have upgraded over the years dozen of times. I have two PCs and two rugged laptops all of which need to be upgraded. If I were to actually upgrade them with NEW products, using the manufactures upgrade paths cost would be around ~$8,000.00. I need to find something less expensive to replace the Vista PC such as a used PC with Window 10, for around $500.00 or so. I haven't added it all up but over the years I've already spent a heck of alot of time and money on PCs and PC related hardware and software. That really doesn't pay me back as I've never actually made any $$$ from PCs at all. However I personally know people who have made billions, some of who I use to compute with. Which sort of strange as I never thought of PCs since the early days as equipment to make money off of. From CS2 I'm able to now open the NEF file but I'm not certain if CS2 is able to actually edit a nef file?. I think perhaps once it's saved to another file format? I'll need to look into it further. I really need to upgrade both my PC and the photo editing software, but first would like to use CS2 for a while to become more familiar with photo editing, it's something I'm new to and haven't had a need to edit photos in the past.
