Opening NEF (raw) files in CS4

Is it even possible to open NEF (raw) files in CS4? When I go to drag my file over and drop it in, Photoshop says it can't open this type of file. Do I need to upgrade?
I've been editing my jpegs but wanted to edit raw to see the difference.

Thanks!

    Hi kimmy,
    Only CS5 and 6 can open these files. So yes, an upgrade is required.
    Regards.

    My CS5 gives the same message. What do I do?

    You can not open raw files directly. You use the ACR then it opens in PS for editing. ACR is the converter for RAW files.
