Opening raw NEF in Photoshop CS4

followtheredrabbit Nov 11, 2014 3:06 PM

I need to edit a bunch of photos in Photoshop. So I got the files from the photographer and they're raw NEF files that won't open in Photoshop CS4. I download Adobe Camera Raw plugin and added it but still won't open them.. Any ideas??

Which operating system are you using?

What camera are the camera raw files from?

Maybe they are from a newer camera that photoshop cs4 doesn't support, there is good chance you could use the 8.6 dng converter to convert the files to dng copies, which then photoshop cs4 should open.

Did they include the xmp sidecar files along with the nefs?
