Photoshop CS question

Postby Dougie on Thu Nov 03, 2005 9:05 pm

Ok, I have been playing with photoshop for a couple of months now and all of a sudden my Raw converter has gone to a very basic screen. Before I could adjust WB, sharpness, contrast, saturation etc , but now I can only adjust WB. :x

Can anyone tell me how to turn the more advanced raw converter back on please?:?: :?: :?: :?:

Have you installed any Nikon software lately? It automatically overwrites the Adobe plugin.

You need to go into

/Program Files/Adobe/Photoshop/Plugins/Photoshop Only/File Formats and delete the nikon plugin

Hope that helps

Have you installed any updates to Nikon capture (or the app itself)? If yes, then check for a nikon filter file and just rename the extension... I use mainly CS2 but check for a nikon file in:
c:\program files\adobe\photoshop cs\plug-ins\adobe photoshop only\file formats\ If there's a nikon file in there just rename the extension and restart CS...

I think that might be your worry if you've installed or updated Nikon capture, if not then not sure :oops:

Cheers.


EDIT: Paul beat me to it :)...

I also suggest you think about giving Picture Project the flick and have a look at Nikon View which is a free download from the Nikon Asia site.

Windows v6.2.5 is here

Macintosh v6.2.5 is here

Thanks, This was helpful for me too.

On a related question is it worth replacing CS with CS2. I can't upgrade 'cos I got CS licence thru Uni.
