I have CS3 and it's been awhile since I had 2. Does the Camera Raw not come up in Photoshop when you try to open the RAW images?

Hey there

I dont know about the D200, but Photoshop CS2 does not recognize my D300 RAW format. Therefore, I use the Adobe DNG converter first. This software converts the RAW file to a DNG file which can then be opened with CS2. Its a bit of a PIA to perform this intermediate step - but DNG converter can do a complete directly with just a few mouse clicks. I have heard that CS4 can read the D300 files now, but with my older computer, I really dont want to upgrade to CS4.

Adobe DNG converter is a free download (http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4520).

I hope this helps.
