I just got home with my D5200 and Photoshop CS3 won't open my NEF Raw file. I've tried plug-in updates but nothing is working.

I'm hoping somebody here can help!!

Thank you!

It wouldn't open my Sony raw files either. My friend downloaded a converter to get it to read her Canon.

I just tested that converter and it seems to work. It does change it to another photo type - I hope it's the same quality!

For those who may be having the problem it's the Adobe DNG converter.

Nikon D5200 NEF files aren't supported until ACR 7.3 - which means CS 6 (Photoshop 13).
CS 3 (Photoshop 10) uses ACR 4.

Thanks for the info! Do you know if the latest version of Lightroom will support NEF Raw Nikon D5200 files? I may just do that and get basic. If I need to edit deeper then I can use CS3,
 
The latest version of Lightroom also uses ACR 7.

ACR 7 was a major update from ACR 6.

ACR 6 (CS 5/LR 3) was Process Version 2010, and ACR 7 (CS 6/LR 4) is now Process Version 2012.
Process Version 2003 was used with CS 3, CS 4/LR 1, 2.

Your CS 3 is 2 Process Versions behind LR 4.

You may want to consider upgrading to CS 6 because CS 3 likely won't qualify you for upgrade pricing when CS 7 launches sometime late next year.
