Ok, just got my fancy new Nikon D300s... and surprise, surprise, the RAW files won't open in Photoshop CS3. Of course I can't help but wonder why the D300s RAW files have to be different than the D300 RAW files, but I'll get over it, I guess.
Aside from upgrading to CS4, what other programs WILL open the D300s RAW files? I have Nikon's Capture NX Version 1.3, and even it won't open the files. I see there's a NX 2 now... so I assume I'm gonna be strong-armed into upgrading that?
It would be nice if SOMETHING would open the RAW files...
It looks like my best option is to use Adobe's DNG converter to switch the files to DNG, which I can then open normally in Photoshop. An extra step... but one that doesn't cost $$ :)
Not from what I've read... CS3 will only work with Camera Raw 4.5 or some such thing. The D300s isn't added until 5 or so. I'd love to be proven wrong, though :)

Just spoke to a friend who was having the exact same problem. He has Lightroom 2 and simply upgraded it to 2.5. eta: This allowed PS 3 to use the files
I ran into the same issue with my D300 and CS2. Even the DNG conversion didn't work for me. I ended up upgrading to CS4. I wasn't happy about spending the money at the time. But now that I have had CS4 for awhile. I gotta say it was worth the 200 bucks to upgrade.

I open mine in Lightroom 2.6 (worked in 2.5 also) and move to Photoshop CS2 to play.
