D300 Raw and PhotoshopCS2

Does anyone know of a plug-in for Photoshop CS2 that supports Nikon D300
raw? The only plug-in that I have found needs Photoshop CS3.

camera raw includes a dng converter which can convert the d300 raws to
dng, which can then be opened by cs2. other than that, you'll need to
get cs3 or elements.

Glossary first:
ACR = Adobe Camera Raw, PS/CS's raw converter plugin
DNG = Digital NeGative open raw format

Use Adobe DNG converter which comes in the ACR converter download as a
second file. Mix & match: you probably need the latest DNG thing from
ACR for CS3 and an older ACR thing which is compatible with CS2.

I do this for a D200 on CS1 & delete the NEFs, saving the DNGs. The only
thing you lose is the ability to use Nikon's converter. Camera companies
aren't software companies so that's not a big loss though some say their
converter performs better it still stinks from a user's standpoint.
Don't encourage them. All raw converters but the camera manufacturer's
will work on DNG.

Forget it and use Nikon Capture NX. You'll get much better results.

The most recent version 3.7 would include previous cameras like the D200

I will try the free trial of Nikon CaptureNX before I upgrade to CS3.

Yes, I guess I'll do a trial of Nikon CaptureNX, then decide whether or
not to get that or CS3.

Good idea. Make sure you check out some tutorials on NX as it's quite a
different procedure, but the results can be fabulous.

In what way is the Nikon tool better than Photoshop's tool?

I've tried for my Canon both the Canon tool, Photoshop CS2's tool,
and DCRaw. I see little if any difference in the products. Photoshop's
tools are easier to use than Canon's, and a bit more complete, but
Canon has the near-killer automatic lateral chromatic aberration correction
for some but not all lenses whereas Adobe corresponding tool is not automatic
but works for all lenses.
