I'm afraid that there is no camera plugin that you can install for pse 7 that will read the nikon D5100 files, since pse 7 can only use up to

camera raw 5.6 and your camera requires at least camera raw 6.4, which is not compatible with pse 7.

So, the dng converter is your best free alternative.

You can always upgrade to photoshop elements 12, which will open those files without having to use the dng converter.

Hello everyone,

I am very frustrated hopefully someone can help me out. I have PS Elements 7 and installed the camera raw plugin 5.4 per adobe instructions which I followed to the letter. I still can't open raw files and do not want to use other third party software and use DNG converter which is a hassle.

Here is the error I get: Can't open NEF because it's the wrong type of file.

Thanks
