Does this software work with RAW files from a Nikon D70?

The guys at my camera shop couldn't tell me for sure.

I have worked on RAW (NEF) files with Elements 4. I believe it had the Adobe Camera Raw plug-in installed with it from the start, however, I did download the update and installed that. You can find that here:

Elizabeth,

Yes it will, however I recommend importing raw files using NIkon's software, then moving into Elements4. It's been my experience so far that the color rendition in the raw files are more accurate using Nikon's software to do the importing.

Thanks very much, Alan and JG. That's exactly what I needed to know.

I'm pretty sure that it has the update for the D70, but if not you just need to go out to Adobe's site to get the current plugin update. It no big deal and they have instructions on how to install it.

I had to do this with PSE 3 to add my Rebel XT. Its no big deal.
