Does anyone know of a plug-in for Photoshop CS2 that supports Nikon D300 raw? The only plug-in that I have found needs Photoshop CS3.


Glossary first:
ACR = Adobe Camera Raw, PS/CS's raw converter plugin
DNG = Digital NeGative open raw format

Use Adobe DNG converter which comes in the ACR converter download as a second file. Mix & match: you probably need the latest DNG thing from ACR for CS3 and an older ACR thing which is compatible with CS2.

I do this for a D200 on CS1 & delete the NEFs, saving the DNGs. The only thing you lose is the ability to use Nikon's converter. Camera companies aren't software companies so that's not a big loss though some say their converter performs better it still stinks from a user's standpoint. Don't encourage them. All raw converters but the camera manufacturer's will work on DNG.

Thank you, I've decided to try the 30 trial for capureNX and compare it to Photoshop CS3, I have Photoshop CS2 now.
