Just hold down the CTRL key & left-click on all the photos you want to convert. Then you have several choices, right-click on any of those photos & you will see an option for "Output", while holding down that CTRL key hit the "E" key, or go to File>Convert File..

If any photos have been processed with Capture NX2 you will not be able to convert them through View NX.

Yes.

Depending on which Nikon camera you have, you probably have to update the ACR (Adobe Camera RAW) plugin to get ACR to recognize the NEF file from your camera.

But if your camera is pretty new you may have to upgrade from CS2 to get the RAW compatibility.

Which Nikon are you shooting with?

CS2 will not recognize the NEF files from your D3000 DSLR, but what you can do is convert the NEF files to DNG files (Digital Negatives) with Adobe DNG Converter. You'll need DNG version 5.5 for your D3000. CS2 will work with DNG files.

With Bibble Pro you can edit one photo, then copy-paste your edits onto all other photos, and batch-convert them to JPEG, TIFF or whatever. You can also save edits as presets, allowing you to easily apply certain settings to photos.
