PS Elements 7 (RAW)

[Paul in OKC]

My Nikon D90 produces an NEF RAW file. PS Elements 7 is giving me an error message saying the file is in the wrong format. I can go to a JPEG photo, do an "open as RAW", and it goes right into the RAW processing window. On the other hand, when I click on a RAW photo with "open" it gives me the error message. I have Scott Kelby's book on PS Elements 7, but I don't seem to find an answer to this problem. How do I open and process a RAW NEF file using PS Elements 7?

Go here and install Camera Raw v5.5 (assuming Windows). You may want Elements v7.0.3 while you are at it.

I have owned elements 8 for about 12 months but only recently bought my first dslr camera. During a recent holiday I shot in jpegraw but I cant import my raw images into elements 8 only the jpeg. My camera is a Nikon D3100 so the images are nef. Can anybody tell me how to go about this?

The RAW from the D3100 requires Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) v6.3 which requires Elements 9.

You can

- upgrade to Elements 9 and download the latest ACR (best option as E9 has masking)

- use the Nikon software to render the RAW to a tif file (I asume Nikon includes such software)

- download and use the latest version of DNG Converter to convert the files to Adobe RAW (DNG) which will work with Elements 8.
