How to get Nikon D5100 RAW files to open in Photoshop?
I had a Nikon D40 camera and the. NEF files opened fine in my Photoshop CS5. I just got a Nikon D5100 and its RAW files are also the. NEF extension, but they won't open in Photoshop CS5 for some reason. When I try to open them in Photoshop it comes up with a message "Could not complete your request because the file appears to be from a camera model which is not supported by the installed version of Camera Raw." Can I download something from Adobe or Nikon that will let me open the D5100. NEF files in Photoshop?
You have to download the free Adobe Camera RAW plug-in.
The newest version is Camera RAW 6.6
Go into photoshop and select update. It should update the latest fixes for photoshop, which should include Camera Raw.
