    I think Adobe ought to tell customers that their product are meant only for computer engineers.

    I am dead tired of spending more time on making software work than on working with it.


    Niels, it's actually a nice thing that Adobe provides after-the-release updates, or you'd never have had D90 support with Photoshop CS3.  But you're right, if the automatic features of the software don't work right, you have to work through manual installations and then things can get a bit geeky.  But you're a PC/Windows user - you have to be tough! 

    To use the Help - About Plug-in feature, in Photoshop click the Help menu, then the About Plug-in entry, then go over and click Camera Raw...

    This is the dialog you should see, if your Camera Raw is fully up to date (note the 4.6):

    Hello, Niels, you need to find the old 2007 version of the file, and delete it.

    Install all Photoshop updates.  The D90 was added in a Camera Raw release after Photoshop CS3 first came out, as I recall.

    If the Help - Updates... feature doesn't bring in Camera Raw 4.6 for you, visit one of these pages:

    By the way, the one and only Camera Raw.8bi I have installed for Photoshop CS3 is here:

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS3\File Formats\Camera Raw.8bi

    Here are its properties:

    In this place, I have "Camera Raw.8bi", time stamp 07-10-2008, size 10.686

    So where is the other place I should look?
