I have a Nikon Camera and shoot Raw files (.NEF).  When I convert these files  
  
can I use .psd or .dng  Adobe formats for importing into a Power Point slide  
  
presentation?

No, PowerPoint can't handle those formate.  In Photoshop, use File > Save for  
  
Web and choose PNG or JPG.  Your camera probably takes very high resolution  
  
(large in pixels) photos that are intended to print well.  However, they are too  
  
large for display on a computer or digital display and a lot of the image data  
  
will be discarded when the image is displayed.  Carrying all of that data in  
  
your presentation file will make it too large.  You'll want to resize the images  
  
to something reasonable for PowerPoint, thereby keeping the file size  
  
reasonable.  There is a discussion of this at:  
  
What's the best resolution for images in PowerPoint screen shows?
