    The raw files from the D800 will work in PSE11 or higher. The current version is PSE15; so it’s best to buy that if you want to upgrade. Alternatively you can convert NEF into Adobe raw (DNG) without any loss of quality.

    DNG Converter is free. You can batch convert a whole folder of NEF files into DNG and the dng files will be backward compatible with your PSE8 software.
