this is what I was looking for too. i got photoshop 7 and I had to get a freeware converter to go to tiff. I still not sure if it as good as raw for the image size do go down a little. I got a nikon D80 I thinking of buying the new cs3 or a paint progaqm that richorphoto told me about paint shop prox2 ... I did not buy it yet as the money  is not there yet. 
I did look on nikon site and saw something for $49 editor. for raw may look into that.

what you see is not what you know; it in your face
