Nikon D300 Raw Images and Lightroom 1.4.1

My updated 1.4.1 Lightroom and 4.4.1 Camera Raw are not reading the raw images from my new Nikon D300. I have read several strings of conversation from other folks who are having this problem, and from what I am reading, my 1.4.1 Lightroom should be recognizing them, but it's not. Any help would be MOST appreciated.

Before you even answered I transferred the files from my camera card to my hard drive, and presto bingo, they are now importing beautifully into lightroom. THANK YOU LEE JAY!!!!! Frank Leonard - [email protected]

  • Lightroom doesn't recognize ACR 5.5 and my D300s RAW images

    Lightroom 2.4 does not recognize my Nikon D300s RAW images. I downloaded ACR 5.5 and after install both Bridge and Photoshop CS4 handle the D300s RAW images but my Lightroom 2.4 will not import them saying that it is a damaged or unrecognized file type. I have rebooted my entire Vista system and the problem persists. Any suggestions on how I might make Lightroom recognize ACR 5.5 and my D300s RAW images? Thanks in advance.

    You don't want Camera Raw 5.5 (unless you want to use Photoshop CS4), you want the DNG Converter 5.5 which can convert the D300 raws into DNGs that are compatible with Lightroom 2.4. The next version of Lightroom (presumable 2.5) will have the support built in without needing the DNG Conversion...

  • Nikon D300 RAW and PSE 5.0 (Win)

    I have just started to process my Nikon D300 RAW images in my ACR / PSE 5.0 (Win) installation.  The RAW conversion works OK but when I want to remove the actual RAW files from my computer to store elsewhere, the computer will not let me move or delete them because "they are being used by another program or person."
    I have also noticed other strange goings on with these RAW files sometimes causing PSE to freeze.
    A quick check with the Process Explorer diagnostic tool from Microsoft indicates that something called Photoshop Elements File Agent.exe is still running in the background.  Is this a problem of the RAW files themselves or PSE?  Has any other user met this?  I have backed up "My Catalog", restarted my computer and uninstalled / reinstalled my PSE 5.0 to no avail.
    Any help gratefully received!

    Hi dj_paige
    1. Sorry but Windows XP (SP3).
    2. My current RAW workflow involves deleting the
    NEF RAW files from the PSE Organiser after
    conversion, copying / backing up the NEF files to
    an external HDD (which works OK) and then moving
    them (via standard Windows Explorer
    drag-and-drop) from the "Download" folder to an
    "Archive" folder on my computer internal hard
    drive.  I got the same error message when I tried
    to delete them from the "Download" folder.  My
    son, who works in computers, put me onto the
    Microsoft "Process Explorer" utility, to try and
    find which program was still using the files.
    3. I have had no problems with this workflow with
    my previous Nikon D70.  My suspicions about the
    D300 RAW files arose when the problem happened
    with the first one I tried to move / delete.
    4. The other "strange goings on" relate to trying
    to reopen one of the affected D300 NEF RAW files
    back into PSE Editor.  My PSE5 installation just
    stopped.  Today, after having reinstalled my PSE
    software, when trying to import one of the
    affected D300 NEF RAW files back into PSE
    Organiser, I got an error message relating to
    "Memory".  As this is all somewhat vague, I will
    try to recreate and note the error messages received.
    I look forward to any progress on this matter.
    Kind Regards

  • Aperture 2.0 Corrupt export on D300 RAW image?

    I've been experimenting with Aperture 2.0 to see if I want to upgrade my 1.5.2 install, and have run into a problem where an image looks just fine in Aperture but when I try exporting it (JPEG or TIFF, 8 or 16 bit) there's terrible banding and corruption in the background.
    http://www.cheeseplant.org/~daniel/images/BadApertureExport.jpg
    Has anyone else had a chance to play around with adjustments on D300 raw images and have they run into anything like this?

    I was having the same problem, this was my older post:
    I have been seeing many artifacts after starting to export from Aperture 2.0,
    Camera used canon 5D
    1. I see color pixel that are not visible in raw, or processes with Capture one
    http://boinghost.com/aperture/pixel.jpg
    2. A banding problem separated the picture in 3 sections..
    http://boinghost.com/aperture/banding.jpg
    has anybody a solution?
    I don't see it with in the application, i think that is a bug that need fixing.
    it should not show in the exported image if it doesn't show in Aperture, even if you take the recovery slider to maximum.

  • Is Lightroom able to accept and edit Nikon D4s RAW images?

    A professional photographer from a nearby town said he heard Lightroom either did not or had difficulty working with Nikon D4s RAW images. I want to find out if this true or not.

    Might have been true around the time the camera was launched but it usually only takes Adobe a few weeks to issue updates for new camera models.
    As Bob says, the D4S has definitely been supported for a while now.

  • Nikon Df RAW (NEF) files will not load previews into Lightroom 5.4. Nikon d300s RAW (NEF) files load just fine. Df files do not.

    Nikon Df RAW (NEF) files will not load previews into Lightroom 5.4. Nikon d300s RAW (NEF) files load just fine. Df files do not.

    Thank you for your response.
    I have loaded directly into Lightroom using import and via Nikon Capture NX2. RAW files display fine in Capture.
    In Lightroom, blank previews are created for each available image, with the message "Preview unavailable for this file."

  • Can i open and edit nikon d810 raw files in lightroom 4.4

    can i open and edit nikon d810 raw files in lightroom 4.4

    No. Lightroom 4.x will never be able to open Raw files from the D810.
    D810 support has only just been added to the RC version of Camera Raw 8.6. It is never retrospectively added into older versions.
    Adobe Photoshop Camera Raw 8.6 RC for CC and CC 2014 Release Candidate | digital camera raw file support - Adobe Labs
    Adobe will probably add D810 support to the next version of Lightroom.
    Either way you'll have to upgrade to Lightroom 5 to be able to open D810 Raw files in Lightroom.

  • Filter gallery and lighting effects on raw image through lightroom?

    When opening a RAW image through Lightroom, I am unable to use the Filter Gallery or Lighting Effects. This does not happen when I open a raw image directly from my hard drive.
    Is there anything I can do to overcome this problem?

    Convert from 16-bit to 8-bit bit depth...

  • Pls help. My Camera Raw, CS6 and Lightroom won't read the NEF files from D610.

    I recently upgraded to Nikon D610 and the NEF files were not readable from my old version of Camera Raw, CS6 and Lightroom. So downloaded the recommended upgrades and I now have Camera Raw 8.4.0.199; Lightroom 5.3; CS6 13.01. But still did not read my D610 NEF's. Please help. Thanks.

    oh wait, i got it. Just in case for those who will have the same scenario. I downloaded the NEF files from my D610 using the old ViewNX 2.1 software and that was the cause of incompatibility. So i upgraded my ViewNX to 2.9 and downloaded my images again. And it worked this time.

  • Has anyone had trouble manipulating Nikon D750 raw image (NEF) in Aperture version 3.6 on Yosemite?

    Has anyone had trouble manipulating Nikon D750 raw image (NEF) in Aperture (version 3.6 500021000000000.3, Digital Camera RAW 6.0 - Build 761.5, Digital Camera RAW support 6000 - Build 136.1)
    I used to be able to manipuplate Nikon Raw (NEF) images from a Nikon D70 and D3200 using Aperture, until the 70 died and the 3200 was stolen about 18 months ago. Recently I did two things: (1) I upgraded OS X to Yosemite and (2) purchased a Nikon D750.  I have successfully imported NEF files from the camera to Aperture, but the images do not render/ cannot be opened/ manipulated. Instead, I see a black thumbnail for each imported image with a cassette recorder play icon in the center of each image. 
    I can view the NEF image in Finder preview mode, either directly when viewing the images on the camera SD card or after exporting the previously imported NEF image from Aperture to my desktop or user folder.  Previously imported NEF image seem unaffected.
    thanks.

    The current Apple OSX 10.10 Yosemite and the current Aperture version 3.6 do not have support yet for importing Nikon d750 nef/raw files. It usually takes Apple six to eight weeks to release a new digital camera raw update file for new Nikon dslr models. Once that digital camera raw update file is finally released, update your current version of Aperture and that will allow you to import your d750 raw files. In the meantime, you have many workarounds. In my opinion, the easiest is to save images in duplicate nef/raw and jpeg image files to your SD cards.
    And for now, just import the jpegs to Aperture 3.6 from your d750.  Process your jpegs in Aperture - and hope your clients are happy with the jpegs and can wait for later nef/raw image processing. Be sure to save and do not erase your original SD cards that include the nef/raw and jpeg files - then when Aperture finally releases a new digital camera raw file update that includes the d750 - just insert your original camera SD cards into the computer platform and import the old d750 nef/raw files and edit/process them.
    There are many other ways to proceed in the interim as well. You can always import your d750 nef/raw images into Lightroom (if it has been updated to convert the d750 nef files) and process them there. But for the time being, if you can afford to save and hold onto your original SD cards and wait for the inevitable Aperture digital camera raw update, this is a very easy and simple way to proceed.

  • Lightroom5 not recognising Nikon D300s RAW files

    Hi,  I have recently upgraded to a new iMac running OSx Mavericks.  Lightroom 5 is not recognising my Nikon d300s raw files (NEF).  According to everything I have read on the net it should as Lightroom is brand new and up to date.
    Any advice.?
    Thanks

    They all show up in the preview view finder but then I get the error message "The following files were not imported because they could not be read" with a list of the files underneath.
    This is the first time I have used Lightroom 5 with the D300s... having just changed computers and upgraded from Lightroom 4. I have also now found out I can't download JPegs either!?!?!? You know that feeling when you think "if it isn't broken don't fix it" that's how I'm feeling right now about buying the new computer and software!!

  • Aperture 2 - Nikon D300S RAW

    I really love using Aperture 2 over Lightroom for a while... Just until I just bought a Nikon D300S. Apple doesn't support the Nikon D300S RAW format (yet). The people at Adobe responded far more quickly and already have a free update. Does anybody have an idea when Apple will release it's new RAW update including the Nikon D300S? Is there a workaround in the mean time to be able to work with the RAW format in Aperture (not switching to LR)?

    The D300s was released in September 2009. Now we have December and there is still no support for the Nikon D300s!!
    I love Aperture, I am a Certified Aperture Pro. After four months of non-supporting my RAW-Files I am going to switch to Lightroom... what a pity!
    I hope that no one of Apple's staff wonders why people uses LR more often....
    Goodbye Aperture, hello Lightroom!
    It's really, really sad.
    Greets,

  • Aperture Nikon D300 RAW: 4304×2852 instead of 4288 × 2848?

    Aperture 2.0 seems to squeeze extra pixels out of my Nikon D300 RAW files compared to Capture NX.
    This messes up Apertures "+auto detection & import+" of RAW+JPG sets when you generate the JPGs using Capture NX. No problem when using the JPGs the camera created: Aperture silently imports those JPGs alongside the RAWs so you can "Generate Version from Master JPG"
    Where do these extra pixels come from, and is this "feature" unique to decoding of D300 files?

    Well both a pain and a blessing
    I used to shoot RAW+JPG and whenever I felt my JPGs were good I just used 'New Version From Master JPG' and select that one as the pick.
    I just imported a bunch of RAWs from a directory in which I also placed the batched Capture JPGs and Aperture was able to 'auto-stack' them by 2. A pitty the order of the first image isn't always the JPG...
    I'm not sure which RAW+JPG workflow is better at the moment

    Your question is a little unclear. In a "normal" Lightroom/Photoshop workflow the raw images do not open from Lightroom into Camera Raw. Lightroom has all of the Camera Raw functionality in the develop module. When you choose to open an image in Photoshop, and Lightroom and Photoshop are synchronized (i.e. referencing the same version of Camera Raw) then Camera Raw is simply used to interpret the Lightroom adjustments as the image is transferred to Photoshop. If Camera Raw is an older version then Lightroom offers you the choice to open the image or create a PSD or TIF file that includes all of the Lightroom adjustments. But in either case, opening in Camera Raw is not part of the workflow. It is possible to open the image as a smart object or convert the image to the smart object in Photoshop and then open it in Camera Raw. That is done from within Photoshop or is one of the open options in Lightroom. If you choose to go the smart object route the image first has to be opened in Photoshop and then from there you can open it in Camera Raw.

    Hi Ashley Clavette,
    The Initial view setting works perfectly when the file is opened in Acrobat after setting the desired Initial View.
    When you upload the file onto Wordpress, and view it on that website in the browser...it might be using a different pdf handler program which might be causing this issue ( it would be helpful, if you could provide the screenshot) , however when you download the pdf again from wordpress server...and open in Acrobat/Reader...then what  exactly happens ?  Does the pdf opens in the desired Initial View setting?
