The free raw processor from Nikon is Nikon Capture NX-D. It can be downloaded from Nikonusa. I use it exactly as described above.

I think your best bet in all the good options given is to try the free Nikon software compatible with your camera to convert the raw file. For my Canon I use the dpp4 software that came as a free download with the camera. I imagine Nikon has a similar setup. Even though I have subscription Lightroom and Photoshop I still like to have full control in software over all the original in-camera settings. I slide my sliders and get pretty close, then send the tiff to Photoshop to finish up. The Canon software remembers my raw edits so it can be tweaked anytime, again assuming Nikon is similar.

The INSANITY of using Photoshop... I just don't understand you Adobe fanboys... the BS monthy payments... the versions that don't work with your much newer or much older cameras... I don't get it! Are they paying YOU... Hell no they aint. I'm gonna just keep using Photobrush 5.2 that I paid $20 for (lifetime) 20+ years ago (that's 1 dollar a year gentlemen). You won't be seeing this lemming jumping over the Adobe cliff.

Shoot JPEG and be happy. Spend the saved time out in the field taking photos!
I agree, well said, people seem like they spend more time at the computer than taking photos and worry about this program and that program.

You can also download Nikon Capture NX-D and Nikon View Nx-i at the same time. This what I do:

Hi, I recently bought a Nikon D7200, and when I opened Photoshop CS5 to do some editing, I was told my Adobe Photoshop doesn't have the correct version of Camera Raw to process the images from my camera. What do I do now?! I am a serious amateur and hobbyist, and have been using Camera Raw for around 14 years. What are my options? I don't want to spend a lot for this, but I am willing to purchase if that's the only option. By the way, I use a Macbook Pro for editing.

I'm pretty sure you can't update CS5 to a new enough version of Adobe Camera Raw to be able to work with a D7200's files. CS5 was launched in 2010, but replaced by CS6 in 2012. The D7200 was first released about 3 years later in 2015... so while an updated version of CS6 might be able to work with the files, it's very likely CS5 can't be updated enough to do so.
1. You can shoot JPEGs rather than RAW files. The JPEGs won't allow as much post-processing adjustment and tweaking, but are universal.
2. You can download Adobe's free "DNG converter", which can be used to convert the camera's NEF RAW files into DNG RAW files, which you then can work with in your older version of Photoshop.
3. You can get on the Adobe subscription plan ($120 a year) to be able to update to a newer version of Photoshop... Or use Lightroom to convert the camera's RAW files into 16 bit TIFFs that can be worked in your older version of PS. LR and PS are both included in the subscription, but that's now the only way to get them.
4. You could pick up a copy of virtually any other current post-processing software to be able to work with the D7200's files, including Adobe Elements (direct purchase, not a subscription like LR and PS now).
Generally speaking, backward compatibility is no problem.... newer software with older cameras. But older software can only be updated to a limited extent.
PS CS6 and LR6 are able to work with D7200 images (though I think both need to be updated to their later versions). Unfortunately, it's almost impossible to buy those.... and very expensive if you manage to find a copy of either one. They are no longer supported by Adobe, either.

I have been using the DNG converter for years. I stopped buying PhotoShop with CS5. The DNG converter does strip some information during the conversion, but it is said to be information that Adobe doesn't use. That information would be used by Nikon software. After converting you can still retain your .nef files, untouched. You can sign up and pay for more software at any time. I see no reason to do that until you need to.
I also see no reason to use png.

You can use the DNG converter, free, or you can purchase Photoshop Elements. The new Elements, or even the old ones, have a much better camera raw than CS5.
I have CS5 also, and I almost never use the Camera RAW in it.

Because it is fun.

Sorry, but converting to a 'PNG' is the same as converting the RAW to JPEG. The JPEG from the camera would be a better option to this idea and no payment, no matter how minimal. With a focus on 'free', the idea of converting to DNG retains the RAW image data is a better path with only a small time effort to batch convert all the image files before working in CS5.
My bad - I meant DNG.
