updated photoshop SC2 to process raw files

tony.

Did you download the camera raw 3.7 plugin as i suggested?

Thats works to open the Nikon D50 nefs into photoshop cs2.

Photoshop cs2 can only use up to camera raw 3.7.

You need at least camera raw 3.2, so if you install camera raw 3.7 that should open your Nikon D50 nefs into photoshop cs2 and display them in Bridge.

You can get the camera raw 3.7 plugin from here:

ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/photoshop/cameraraw/win/3.x

Or here

http://download.adobe.com/pub/adobe/photoshop/cameraraw/win/3.x/Camera_Raw_3_7.zip

To install 3.7 with Adobe Creative Suite 2 or Photoshop CS2:

1. Exit Photoshop CS2.
2. Open My Computer.
3. Double-click Local Disk (C:).
4. Navigate to: (Please read directory carefully)

Program Files/Common Files/Adobe/Plug-Ins/CS2/File Formats

or

Program Files (x86)/Common Files/Adobe/Plug-Ins/CS2/File Formats

if your windows 7 is 64 bit.

5. Move the existing Camera Raw.8bi plug-in to another location (for example, a new folder on your desktop). Ensure you keep this version in case you need to revert back.
6. Copy the Camera Raw plug-in, Camera Raw.8bi, from the download into the same folder as Step 4.
7. Launch Photoshop CS2 or Adobe Bridge.

NOTE: If generic camera thumbnails appear in Adobe Bridge, please follow the these steps:

1. Check to make sure the plug-in was installed in the correct directory in Step 6 above.
2. Start Adobe Bridge.
3. Choose Tools > Cache > Purge Central Cache.

Important: Purging the Central Cache deletes cached thumbnail information for all folders. It also deletes labels, ratings, and rotation settings for read-only files (for example, files on a CD or locked files) or file formats that don't have XMP support.

Hi

Newer Camera Raw versions will not be compatible with older versions of Photoshop, especially CS2
