dex Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Recently upgraded to a Nikon D5500 (Which I LOVE, thanks for all the advice) as well as CS5 Master Suite and Lightroom 5.4 from CS4. I looked all over the internet, am I to assume there is no other work around for opening the NEF files other than converting them to DNG? I'm a RAW virgin and I feel like I'm speaking klingon trying to figure this out. From what I see though there is no support yet? Unless I'm wrong?

Damien Symonds Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 You're correct. But it's no big burden, honestly. I've made a video here, if it helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 CS6 will be needed at the very least to support the D5500. You are out of luck with CS4 or CS5. You have two options: Use Adobe's DNG Converter Program Sign up for Adobe's Photoshop CC option, which runs you $9.99 /month, plus any applicable sales taxes. If by some chance you stumble across a copy of CS6, that will support the D5500. Unfortunately, Adobe is slowly killing support for CS6. Soon it will go the way of CS5, CS4, CS3, etc. and be completely discontinued. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dex Posted February 17, 2016 Author Share Posted February 17, 2016 I am running CS5 and it doesn't support it either. I had to download the DNG converter, but that seems to be working great! Just takes awhile to convert =\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damien Symonds Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 @dex, I want to reiterate that CS5 rocks! Just convert to DNG and be happy that you have incredibly powerful software that you don't need to pay another cent for. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
