Getting RAW Files/Pics To Open
Okay, so I took a bunch of RAW format pics today on my D40. I tried opening them, but they do not open. I downloaded plugins and converters, and yet, nothing opens them. My Photoshop CS4 won't open them either. Anyone have any clue on how to open these files? I even downloaded the converter from Nikon. All that's left is to find that one software that came with the camera...TIA.

My uncle found this:
You'll need to convert your .NEFs with the latest version of Adobe DNG Converter if you'd like to develop them in Photoshop CS. This free program supplied by Adobe converts your RAW files into the Adobe's .DNG format which can be read across multiple versions of Photoshop. http://www.adobe.com/products/dng/ If you don't mind trying other RAW converters, I'd recommend RAW Therapee: a powerful RAW workflow application; or Picasa 3 beta: a powerful photo organizer with basic RAW tools. Both are free: http://www.rawtherapee.com/ http://www.picasa.com/

Yeah! Then maybe I'll learn how to take photos like that with my uncle's DSLR
& maybe come up with an event such as a YarisWorld shoot out!

You can view in Picasa using raw format.
Photomatix opens mine from my Canon.

My D40 takes .NEF files that I can open in Corel PaintShop Pro, ACDSee, PhotoShop CS3 and CS4, etc.
I find ACDSee most useful for general edits, etc., and it is cheap compared to the rest. www.acdsee.com I finished up with their Pro version, but the PhotoManager at $50 is a good one as well, with some editing capabilities. But - if you can't open RAW with CS4, you're doing it wrong. |

Have you tried converting them to jpeg? My Canon uses RAW for taking the pic because it gets all the data of BMP or TIFF without taking so much space on your media card. When you upload it onto your hardrive..save it in a typical format such as BMP. TIFF or jpeg. jpeg is for online because it's compressed and a much smaller file. Tiff and BMP for example are better for prints/enlargements and BMP background on your 'puter screen. A 87 kb jpeg could equall an 8 or 9 mb tiff or bmp. Sorry if that's to much info.
