something strange happened today, i was opening RAW images from my D3200 into CS5, normally i would convert them with adobe DNG convertor before i could open them in CS5/C RAW.

i store & import my photos into iPhoto. when i first bought the D3200 i could not open any images directly into camera RAW without converting them with the DNG convertor first, but today for some-unknown reason i have been able to open the images from iPhoto into camera RAW without converting them first.

i have not upgraded Camera RAW as with CS5 you can only go up to version 6.7.0.399, i have not uploaded any new software for the D3200 So everything is exactly the same as a month ago except it all works without any conversion now.

has anyone else experienced this or any ideas?

Yesterday I had my iMac search for software updates, and one of them was to iPhoto. Perhaps your Mac did an automatic update. I don't use CS5 and don't download my images the way that you do, so that's my only guess.

Yes i was thinking similar, although i don't believe that i have done any update downloads for i Photo, but have done for the mac.

of course because i was unable to import directly to C RAW/CS5 i have not tried recently, so there may have been an update done anytime over the last six weeks?

There has been a Fairly recent (not too very recent)update both to OSX (if your using a Mac) and also to Adobe CS5.
