Why not use the nikon software ViewNX that comes with camera? If for some reason you don't have it, it can be downloaded from nikon.

That's why I purchased Lightroom when I still had CS-5. Now it gets upgraded constantly just like CC. If I ever stop shooting for money, or if the price goes up too much, I still have LR5 and CS5 to fall back on.
Now, I'm going to have to learn all this computer stuff so I can do the DNG converter so I can read my newer camera files in the event of CC having a price increase.
LOVE UHH
Thanks people, you are the best.

Yes, the PC's OS, that could be a factor too.

PSE 13 WILL open RAW files for most of the newest cameras on the street. I'm a Canon shooter, but it just opened a .cr2 file (Canon's equivalent of .nef) from my Canon SX60 HS, and that update in Camera RAW happened in just the last week with the update of ACR 8.7
That's good news, Bob. I will be 'surprised' this Christmas with Photoshop Elements 13. Am hoping it will open raw files from the SX-50. I wonder, since it will handle files from the SX-60, if it will also accept files from the '50'?

Both the SX-50 and SX-50 are on it.
Since you are getting this surprise as a gift, I suspect it is in a box, not as a download. Therefore, your version 13 will not likely have the latest version of ACR with it. Before you even try RAW files from the SX-60 you should click the help menu and select Update. It will find the latest RAW conversion file and install it.

Get Adobe DNG converter. It allows you to "dial up" your shots and convert them to a jpeg file, which then can be used in PS CS5.

No, it does not make JPEGs. It converts all the various proprietary camera formats to Adobe's version of "universal" raw data files that they call "Digital Negatives" or "DNG" files.

The result is that the DNG raw files can be opened in lots of older Adobe products, one of which is CS5.

Yes, it's on the disk. Thanks for the heads-up, I'll update it then. People are the funniest animals, aren't they? My wife bought it nearly a month ago but it's for Christmas. Oh well, that way I'll have time to anticipate it! :)

I recently purchased a Nikon D7100 and of course tried it out by taking some photos. Well lo and behold my CS5 version of photoshop will not read the raw files and tells me that the camera is too new for my version.
So now I have two questions. Is there an update for CS5 that will read the D7100 NEF (raw) files, or 2) would I be better off getting something like Photoshop Elements 13 and will the new elements 13 read the Raw files taken with the D7100?

In normal imperial Adobe fashion, they will no longer upgrade the Adobe raw file converter if you have CS5.
Maybe time to change to Corel PhotoPaint or another of the excellent competitors.

The heck they don't! They generously give away the Adobe DNG Converter and keep it as current as anything else in their raw processing kits.
You have to use something to move files from you camera memory to your computer, even if it is Windows or the Apple version. If you use the FREE DNG Converter for that step, all your raws will open in about anything Adobe has delivered for years.
I tried DNG Converter to put some raw files in a 4 year old version of Premier Elements from a 1 year old camera. It worked perfect, even for that!

ok I have downloaded DNG 8.7 and when I try to convert the NEF files from the D7100 which are in a folder, DNG says there is nothing in the folder. When I check with explorer, there are definately 9 NEF files in that folder.
David, I had the same problem but with Canon and I can't thank all that helped me out. OK you have the DNG 8.7, good. Now did you get any software with your Nikon D7100, if you did you need to go to the Nikon web site and down load the software up date or install if you haven't as of yet. All I had to do for Canon was to update the DPP software to include the 7D MKII.

Yes, as BSprague said, Adobe does provide previous customers the ability to use their NEW cameras with OLD versions of Photoshop and Lightroom using the DNG converter utility program. With the utility, you can edit your 7d MkII or D750 images using the original Photoshop CS or Lightroom 1.0.
By updating only the DNG utility program and the most recent version of the their Photoshop and Lightroom applications, it's easier for Adobe to balance the need to keep the old customer base happy, and still encourage the purchase/rental of their latest products.
The DNG converter adds an extra step for processing images with older Adobe software, which may be one more incentive to update to the latest applications.
It also helps to encourage and expand the use of their DNG raw file format, which they are trying to promote as a worldwide industry standard.
It seems to be a good business practice that all but the 'die-hard skeptics' within the potential customer base should find appealing.
If Corel provides the same level of support to their older customers, then they too are worthy of praise.
