Photoshop elements not allowing me to open a NEF file D5000

[2scoops]

Hi all, hope you can help me.

I'm new to the digital world and need a bit of help.

I have recently purchased a D5000 and am running it fully auto at the moment until i am more comfortable with its operation. I have it set up to take NEF (RAW) + JPEG Normal

Now when i try and open a NEF (RAW) photo in PSE 7 i get a dialogue box telling me it ' Cannot open ... NEF because it is the wrong type of file.

Anyone else had this problem, hopefully there is a quick fix

I can open JPEG photo's without any problems

In advance cheers

I have a D5000 and had to download the latest Camera RAW to edit the NEF files. You need to follow the instructions, it's not just a case of downloading and double-clicking. you need to unzip the files then copy one of them to a specific location, over-writing an existing one (or moving the existing one just in case of problems....)

you need to update your camera raw plugin go to www.adobe.com and install it to the correct folder on your pc. If that doesn't work download adobe dng converter this will convert your raw to dng. I had this problem with elements 5. Hope it helps
