Hi

I’m getting a bit lost trying to find the answer in the forum...

So I have elements 6 but I am wanting to give it to a friend as I mainly use lightroom or Photoshop cs6. I am trying to find out if his camera a Nikon D40x with NEF (RAW) file will be compatible with elements 6 or would he have to convert to DNG?

Also it is registered under my Adobe account, would I be able to unregister it so he can have it in his name?
