Default Working with RAW

I am trying (fort the first time) to open a RAW file that I shot with my
D70. I'm using Photoshop7.

When I "Open as" I get a dialog box that shows the following:

Size: 5416900 bytes
Channels: Count 1
Depth: 8 Bits or 16 Bits
Header: Defaults to 0

When I click OK I get a gray image...no picture. I read the Adobe PS Help
file but did not have any success.

Can anyone help with what the settings should be to get an image?

Many thanks in advance.

Gordon

Gordon, PS7 doesn't open *camera* raw files, the "raw" you
see using "open as" is intended to open some otherwise
unidentifiable files created by mainly obsolete software.

To open camera raw files you need Elements 3 or 4, or
Photoshop CS2. These use the "Adobe Camera Raw" (ACR)
plug-in which can open and adjust your D70 files.
Alternatively you could use a free converter like Rawshooter
Essentials to process your D70 NEF file into a TIF or JPG to
open with PS7.

Hope this helps.

I'm not a PS user myself, but I'm pretty sure you need "adobe camera raw" to
work with raw!

Install Nikon View on your computer. This will add a plugin to
PS which allows it to open your D70 NEFs

Photoshop CS also opens raw files.

It does, and should open D70 (but not D70s I think) files
with the last release of ACR (2.4) that works with CS. I
deliberately mentioned only versions of PS and PSE that can
use the latest version of ACR (3.4).

Actually CS would do it and there was an ACR plugin available for CS
that worked with D70 files.

Instead of "Open As" just use "File|Open"

Or if you have CS2 just use Adobe Bridge.

Out of interest, if the OP was to use the Adobe DNG converter to convert his
raw files to DNG (doh!) - what's the earliest version of PS that supports
DNG?
