I have just "gone" digital with a new Nikon D610, but I get an error message (model unknown) when I try to open a file in PS.  What do I need to do?

I've done an "update" with Adobe, but still get the error message about my model not being supported.  What do you advise?  Thanks.

Since support for your camera was added in Camera Raw 8.3, there is no version of Camera Raw for your version of Photoshop that will enable you to open the NEF files from your camera. One alternative would be for you to download the DNG converter version 8.5, and use it to create digital negative copies of your NEF files. They will still have the raw image data in them, but they will be in a format that your version of Camera Raw can work with. Another alternative would be for you to add Lightroom to your workflow. You would still be able to send copies of your NEF files to Photoshop when needed. The other alternative would be for you to join the creative cloud an upgrade to Photoshop CC. There is a package that includes Photoshop and Lightroom for the monthly subscription price of $9.99 in the US. I think Photoshop CS6 can still be purchased separately as a standalone product. And there is a version of Camera Raw for that version of Photoshop that will enable you to open your NEF files.
While you are trying to decide which way you want to go, you might consider using the DNG converter as an interim solution. It's free, you'll still have your original NEF files, and you'll be able to start working with your raw image data today. Here is the link:
