Adobe Photoshop CS2, Windows Vista x64 and Nikon NEF (RAW) files D80

Hello,

I am running an older Windows OS Vista x64  with Photoshop CS2 installed.

I have a Nikon D80 that is listed from Adobe as

Raw image filename extension = NEF

Ver. 3.6 = Minimum Camera Raw plug-in version required

Ver 1.0 = Minimum Lightroom version required

I've installed Adobe DNG Converter 10.1 however upon execution I'm receiving an error message

The procedure entry point K32GetProcessMemoryInfo could not be located in the dynamic link libray KERNEL32.DLL

So do I need to install anther version of a DNG converter? I would like to be able to edit NEF files created by the D80 from Photoshop CS2.

At a later point in time after I upgrade my PC and OS I'll switch to a later version of Photoshop. For now I'm using Photoshop CS2.

Unfortunately, windows Vista can officially only use up to camera raw/dng converter 8.3, so not likely you'll ever get newer dng converters like 10.1 to run on Vista.

Adobe Camera Raw 8.4 or later on Mac OS 10.6, Windows XP, and Vista

However, since the Nikon D80 only requires camera raw 3.6 and photoshop cs2 can use up to camera raw 3.7, you can probably just update photoshop cs2 with the camera raw 3.7 plugin update and then you'll be able to open your Nikon D80 nefs directly.

Adobe - Photoshop : For Windows : Camera Raw 3.7 update

First go to photoshop cs2 Help>About Plugins>Camera Raw and make sure you don't already have 3.7 before doing the above 3.7 camera raw update.

I'll be surprised if anyone is able to offer much advice when you are running Vista and CS2.   All I can say is make sure you have all the updates for your OS, if you can find them, and wish you the best of luck

Older versions of Photoshop system requirements

Thanks for your reply. I realize these questions will be difficult if not impossible for you and other people to answer who have only used later versions of Adobe and Windows Operating systems.
