D70s RAW conversion in Adobe PS CS

[awatson71]

I can not open D70s RAW files in Adobe Photoshop CS.I don't want to use NIKON Capture software - it's very slow and not user friendly. I purchased this camera to improve workflow not take a step back!I want to continue using PS CS. I have tried the new plug-in and even converting to DNG but nothing works.I can't believe NIKON would mess with their loyal customers like this.Can anyone give me any advice?

Yep, Nikon changed a byte in the file format preventing adobe PS CS from opening it.
PS CS2 can open it. You can also thank Adobe for no longer updating the Camera Raw featrue of PS CS.

Here is a link to a HACK that fixes the offending byte in the image file and allows plain ps-cs to open the D70S raw files.

WARNING: I have never used this program, check it a lot with an antivirus program and be carefull.
