    Help a newbie...

    Just got a D70s for Christmas, compliments of my lovely wife.

    Since this is my first step into the world of digital photography, I'm pretty clueless on getting started. I do have a copy of CS2, but can't open raw images in the program. How do I go about getting that to work?

    Also, would you guys recommend any particular online tutorials, that might introduce me to the basics of photo editing?

    Thanks!

    CS2 should include a program called Adobe Camera RAW that handles RAW images for you. Depending on your version of Camera RAW, you may have to download an update.

    Cool, thanks

    Now if I just knew what to do once in the program, haha.

    I've got Adobe's Classroom in a Book on the way from the library. Are there any good places to look online, though?
