Is your Camera Raw.plugin up to date
Check Adobe for your version of Photoshop
The latest for cs3 is 4.6
Don't download the latest one as that is for cs4. It wont work with cs3

I downloaded 4.6 but it gave me an error that said photoshop didn't recognize the plug in file?? Am i installing it wrong?

I can't seem to get any plug ins to install...i've tried 4.6 4.5 4.4 and 4.1 (I've currently got 4.0) What is the process to install these plug ins?

For the camera raw.plugin
Start at the main HD not your home folder
Library~Application Support~Adobe~plugins~CS3~file formates

If you have cs3 the correct one is 4.6

It sound like your putting it in the other plugin folder. The one thats inside your photoshop's main application's folder.
home~library~photoshop~plugins
If you did put one in here, remove it.

Please HELP!

Hi,
I've tried everything, and still struggle. My computer (Windows XP) and Photoshop (photoshop 7) can't open my Nikon D60 Raw photographs. I've tried a lot of programs to convert the raw files, and raw plugins, but still had no luck...
If someone can, please help me, it's driving me crazy...
Thanks

Photoshop 7 dates from 2002 and was superceded by CS in 2003. Your camera was introduced in 2008 and it was first supported by ACR 4.4.1 which was released with CS3. So the short answer is upgrade your version of Photoshop.

edit: I should have read your question a bit more closely. You can download viewnx from the Nikon site and it will let you convert your raw files to jpg or tiff files. It's not much, but at least it's free.

mfr. software?

workaround: does the nikon ship with a raw conversion software? If so use that to do your first general color conversion and save the result as a png/tif and then open that in photoshop.

Anyway I know my Olympus came with something like that -- though I use Raw Developer...

Thanx,
I'll just try to update Photoshop 'cause NikonViewNX don't want to let me use my raw photos.
But thanks

You'll need to buy a newer version of Photoshop as 7 only offered raw support as a separate add-on which is no longer available and will never open your D60 files. You won't even be able to work with DNG files as there's no support in Photoshop 7 for those either. Everything from CS and newer will open DNG, though.

Maybe you can give me some advice?
I still have to work on a Windows PC, I have Windows XP, which version of Photoshop CS will be the best?
