I recently shot an event with a friend. I've also recently converted to shooting RAW images (love the freedom for post-process corrections). At any rate, we both shot in RAW mode. I use a Canon, she uses a brand new Nikon. After uploading our files, I have found that I am unable to open her .NEF files. (Not sure if this makes any difference, but I did use a card reader to upload her images.) I am using PS and Bridge CS5.1. I have downloaded all of the most recent updates.
Is it possible that my version of PS (CS5.1) will simply not open the .NEF files from her camera? Is there a way to convert the .NEF to .CR2 files?
Finally, if I cannot open or convert these .NEF files -- will I maintain more data by converting them to .JPG or .TIFF before editing?
Any help is much appreciated. Thanks so much!!!
EDIT: I know that NEF files are Nikon's version of RAW files.
