Its possibly an update you need to download from Adobe, I expect you installed it before and forgot about it.

Check the adobe site for updates to CS3.

Try reinstalling the D300 software... I think it contains the NEF plug-in too.

I reinstalled photoshop once and I had to reinstall the D40 drivers to get it to work again.

If that doesn't work let us know and I'll see if I can find the download page for the NEF D300 plug-in.

What Azz says works

I remember having the same problems - NEF files were a pain with my D50.

It may be worth downloading the latest ACR form here http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/cameraraw.html and installing it.

Re: Nikon D300 NEF in Photoshop CS3 Help

Thanks folks, had to manually put the plugin in. phew was getting rather frustrated with it Happy now.. I used this link for the plugin PLUGIN LINK
Manual installation on Windows:

1. Exit Photoshop CS3 and Adobe Bridge.
2. Open My Computer.
3. Double-click Local Disk (C.
4. Navigate to: (Please read directory carefully)

Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS3\File Formats

5. Move the existing Camera Raw.8bi plug-in to another location (for example, a new folder on your desktop). Ensure you keep this version in case you need to revert back.
6. Copy the Camera Raw plug-in, Camera Raw.8bi, from the download into the same folder as step 4.
7. Launch Photoshop CS3 or Adobe Bridge.
