D200 & RAW files

Hi Guys

Took some shots today with the D200 but when I tried to look at them in their RAW format, Nikon Capture wouldn't open them and said, basically, that I had the wrong version of Capture.

I then tried to open them up in PS/CS2 and was told pretty much the same thing. I downloaded the Camera Raw 3.4 plug in, and can now view them, but I'm really interested to hear how anyone else is handling their D200 RAW files, and if there are any other ways of handling them that you'd recommend.

Thanks all

Hi Lynn, PSCS2 - ACR.
I browse with nikonview and then open with ACR - this is the way I've been doing since I got my D70 and I like it.

Lynn,

Surely the latest version of Capture will work? I'm using Bibble 4.8 with no problems, but note that you have to tweak things a bit more to get the 'out of camera' result.

You probably need Capture NX.

I am currently exoerimenting with NX and PS CS2 to find what I prefer with the d200 NEFS.

Capture NX is pretty good, takes a bit of learning to find things, but is a big leap forward from 4.4

Lyn,

AsGordon suggests, I think you just need to download and install the upgrade to 4.4.

Lynn - what have u been using previously? Capture or PSCS2? I'd stick to what you know best personally.
