Full Version: Opening *.NEF in Photoshop CS2 from Nikon Capture 4.3

I'm a newbie and my workflow for converting RAW (.NEF) files from my D70
involves opening and editing my files first in Nikon Capture 4.3 and then
transferring them over to Adobe Photoshop CS2 for final cropping, sizing and
editing. I'm not yet very comfortable doing ALL my work in Photoshop CS2
and like how my shots intially look when I open them up in Nikon Capture.
The Nikon Raw Plug-in of course replaced the Camera Raw Plug-in when I
installed Nikon Capture on my computer. The "Options" setting in Nikon
Capture is set for "Transfers 16 bit data when possible" with regard to the
"open with Photoshop Quick Tools button."
For some reason however, transferring the shot from Nikon Capture to
Photoshop CS2 for final editing transfers the shot in 8 bit mode instead of
16 bits. I'd prefer to continue working in Photoshop with the full 16 bit
shot so as to not degrade it for final editing. Does anyone know how the
transfer the .NEFs into Photoshop CS2 from Nikon Capture in 16 bit quality
(with the Nikon Raw Plug-in installed in Photoshop)? Thanks for any
suggestions.

uninstall the nikon crap, and reinstall photoshop cs2 and learn it, an
then get the camera raw update that they update almost every month.
Hope that helps :

Hmmm, until Adobe makes a better interpolation algorithm for their
Camera RAW, I would stick to Nikon Capture. I agree that it takes
terabytes of memory, but it does do a better job in converting.
