Digital Photography - RAW files

Question
I'm shooting a Nikon D70 in RAW. This generates an NEF file. What do I need to do to get Elements 3 to recognize this file extension so I can edit the pic.

Answer
Hi Randy,

Do you have the Camera Raw plug-in (3.2) installed? If not, this will fix you right up. http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=3074
The latest Camera Raw plug-in for the Elements is actually 3.7 and can be found here http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=3592 but the 3.2 update is the one that specifically added the D70. It is up to you which one you want to install, or you can try both.

If updating the plug-in doesn't work, let me know and I can try to assist you further.

Good luck

Sara
