Hi guys, really need some help on this - I've updated the codec from the Nikon site but still no joy. It doesn't seem to recognise them as image files. I get a little preview in bridge, but not large ones like on the D40x. I can still open the d40x NEF files in Camera Raw - but the D90 ones aren't recognised file types!!

I just did a shoot for the restaurant I work at and need these shots submitted tonight, but I can't f*%£ing open them.

I'm going to be letting a lot of people down if these don't come out. Help!

what program are you using?

I had to use the Nikon software (whereas I was using PhotoElements)when I got my D90 in September....JUST recently Adobe updated their files and I can use PE6 again.

I'm using Photoshop and Bridge CS4, would have thought it was updated already, but maybe not.

I'm running Camera Raw 5.0 - does that not support the D90?

According to Adobe, Camera Raw 5.0 supports the D90, as does LR 2.0...

Camera Raw 5.2 update
November 25, 2008
This new version of the Camera Raw plug-in replaces the original one that was installed with Adobe® Photoshop® CS4; Adobe Photoshop Elements 7.0; and Adobe Premiere® Elements 7.0 software. Visit the Camera Raw page for a complete list of supported cameras.

ADOBE UPDATES

I think this is what you need

Well i've tried updating to ACR 5.2 but it's still only opening the D40x files - and it's still calling itself 5.0(?!).

I'm getting the DNG converter now then I'll try a restart. I did fortunately shoot in RAW + Basic .jpg, but I'm submitting for a magazine - don't want to have to submit low quality shots...

Good luck...

DNG is going to do what you need.

Yep that's worked. Still bizarre, unless this is some cunning Adobe Scheme to get you use DNG all the time. I want to edit NEFs not DNGs, it's just a completely unnecessary extra step in my workflow.
