Nikon D5500 generates RAW files as .NEF which Lightroom 5 won't read. How can I convert these on a Mac with Yosemite?

I have tried the Adobe DNG converter (v8.7.1.311) but when I choose the folder where the photos are, it shows an error reading "The source folder does not contain any supported camera raw files". I cannot find any other software for Mac which claims to be able to do this. Can anyone help?

Many thanks for that. I've never shot RAW before and am new to DSLRs generally so don't know the relative difference between formats. If I have to convert RAW  to TIFF to be able to use Lightroom, will it have been worth me shooting in RAW at all, or will I do just as well staying with the highest quality of JPEG I can get from the camera? My camera is 24.2M megapixels

  • I can not get my new Nikon D 810 raw file to load into Lightroom. I have been doing this same thing for over a year using a Nikon D800.

    when I go to add my raw files like I always have it said that it can not read these raw files. I called Nikon an was told that the raw files in the D810 are the same as the D800. Something is up.

    Re: D810/Lightroom5 importing Raw files
    The raw files are not the same as the D810 has a different sensor than the D800. The file layout might be the same but that doesn't mean any software that supports the D800 will support the D810. Adobe has to profile the new camera and add calibration profiles and then release an update to Lightroom. ACR 8.6 RC supports the D810, so LR 5.6 will probably support the D810 too. For now, you could convert the nef files to dng using the dng converter that comes with ACR 8.6: Adobe Photoshop Camera Raw 8.6 RC for CC and CC 2014 Release Candidate | digital camera raw file support - Adobe Labs

  • My Nikon D610 raw is not supported by Lightroom 4.4. How can I get it to work? Is there a plug in to fix it or do I have to upgrade to Lightroom 5?

    I am not using Creative Cloud, just have Lightroom and Photoshop installed on my computer.

    For native file support you should upgrade to LR 5. However, you can read D610 files in LR 4 if you need by converting them to DNG using the latest DNG converter, which is a free download from Adobe.

  • I have an iPAD mini (4?), everything else in the house is windows. I want to print (using a Canon MF3010), aand also sned Facetime views to the TV, which is pre HDMI.  How can I do these two things?

    I have an iPad mini 4; how do I print to a Canon MF 3010?
    How do I send  ANYTHING TO A PRE HDMI TV?
    thanks

    For Printing, after checking this page:
    AirPrint basics
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
    It appears your printer is not Airprint compatible. In fact it appears as though your printer is not Wireless even.  So you will be limited to sharing applications installed on your Windows computer.
    Try this guide and see if it works for you.
    http://tweaks.com/windows/46495/enable-ios-airprint-support-on-windows/
    Basically you'll need to find an application that can share the printer out to your wireless network using the AirPrint protocol which is what iPads use to communicate with printers.
    For the second part of the question:
    The short answer is you won't be able to do it directly. To view facetime on your Tv you need to mirror your iPad's screen. either through the Av Digital adapter, which connects through HDMI to the TV, or through an Apple TV which only has HDMI output.
    So your only option is to get an HDMI to composite converter to plug either between the Apple Tv and the TV, or between the Digital AV adpater and the TV.
    Something like this:

    Lightning Digital Av Adapter

    Oh, and an iPad 4 and an iPad Mini are 2 different products. One is the normal Sized iPad while the other one is the smaller sized version.

  • How Can I convert Freehand files in Illustrator CC?

    I have a new IMac on OS X Mavericks.  I am to to the CC level.  I have 25 years of Freehand files that I need access to.  How can I convert these files to get them open in CC.  Thanks

    Skiman, Monika, WJT,
    These are my findings:
    Access through CC goes no further back than CS6, and there seems to be no plan to change that.
    This means that it is necessary to have or acquire a licence to get access to an older version.
    Adobe has started setting up a set of pages for downloading older versions (requiring  a licence) here, so far covering CS6 and CS5.5:
    https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install.html
    http://www.adobe.com/downloads/other-downloads.html
    Until (even) older versions are added, this thread made by staff about downloading the old stuff, with its reference to the Prodesign Tools page is recommended:

    The last link goes back to CS3.

  • Nikon D800 can't open all RAW-files ending .NEF

    Got a Nikon D800 and can't open all RAW-files ending .NEF Most of them no problem, but some I just can't.
    "Could not complete your request because the file appears to be from a camera model" Thats not wight cause I can open like 90% of my .NEF files :/
    Got latest Camera Raw (6.7)..Help please:/

    Because many of the camera makers slightly alter their versions of their raw format whenever they release a new camera model.
    Nikon does it, Canon does it, and also several other camera makers.
    There is not a single version of NEF that all Nikon cameras use, nor a single version of CR2 for all Canon models.
    Here is a list of supported cameras and the required ACR plugin needed to open the raw files.
    Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    Versions of ACR are specific to each version of Photoshop.
    Older versions of PS cannot use the latest version of ACR.
    You need to download the latest version of Adobe DNG Converter.
    This will convert your newer D800 files to DNGs that can then be opened in older versions like CS5.
    Be aware DNG only works on folders of files, not individual files. Select the FOLDER not a single file

  • Why does photoshop 12 editor open my Nikon D90 Camera RAW files only as jpegs???

    Why does photoshop 12 editor open my Nikon D90 Camera RAW files only as jpegs???

    Hi,
    Which operating system are you running on?
    What makes you think that the raw files are being opened as JPGs?
    Do you shoot RAW+JPG and opening the JPG files bt mistake?
    If you are opening a RAW (NEF) file and it doesn't show the Camera Raw screen but goes straight into the editor then it may be that your screen resolution is too low.
    What is your screen resolution?

  • Nikon 1 S1 RAW Files and Elements 9

    My current Elements 9 does not support my Nikon 1 S1 RAW files - will I need a new Elements or is there a RAW update that will support this new camera?

    That needs Camera RAW 7.4, for which you require PSE11 or PSE12. Otherwise you need to download the Adobe DNG Converter (Google it) and convert the files to DNG files - which your PSE9 will be able to read.
    Cheers,

  • New Nikon Df camera RAW files not recognized in Bridge and Photoshop.

    New Nikon Df camera RAW files not recognized in Bridge and Photoshop.  Is there a fix?  Surely Adobe make a mistake and not keep up with Nikon.

    I looked at the current list http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html and did not see the Nikon DF listed.
    Would post in ACR forum and see if they know anything more.  http://forums.adobe.com/community/cameraraw

  • CS5 Bridge does not recognise Nikon D 800 Raw Files

    I have Photoshop CS5 Version 12.0 (x64). Photoshop recognises Nikon D 800 Raw files BUT
    Bridge does not. I have tried updates but my Apple Mac Pro does not recognise them

    That would mean that you have the ACR plug-in version 6.7 or 7.1 in the wrong place.
    You can only have one version of ACR anywhere in your installation.  If you have two, it won't work.  Look for the version(s) you have installed in Photoshop under the Photoshop menu > About Plug-In:
    Your camera has been supported ever since ACR 6.7 and CS5 can run ACR 7.1 (but not any higher version of ACR).
    The only correct path for the plug-in in CS5 is as follows:
    Very wide image: click on thumbnail for larger view.
    NOTE that the path starts with the ROOT LEVEL Library, the one right after the name of your boot drive, not your user or Home Library.
    The screen shot is from an installation under Snow Leopard, where I had CS5.

    It is supported since Camera Raw 6.6: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html so it should be the case on ACR7.

  • Itunes is copying/converting 500gb of music from .wma to .m4a files that are on an external drive onto my laptop which doesnt have enough room. how do i reroute these newly converted files somewhere with enough space for them?

    itunes is copying/converting 500gb of music from .wma to .m4a files that are on an external drive onto my laptop which doesnt have enough room. how do i reroute these newly converted files somewhere with enough space for them?
    new to itunes, used windows media player before that and always ripped music directly to an external hardrive and accessed it through the player. now that i downloaded itunes it is taking from the external hardrive and copying a second file for each song onto my lap top hard drive which does not have the capacity for all my music. as itunes converts music files i want them saved back onto my external drive or another location i have space for rather than the lap top. how do i change the setting to move the itunes media folder to another location. assuming that hitting copy and past and dropping it in a random location will cause a few errors.

    When I have done this, all I did was network the two machines and copy the contents of the iTunes folder to the other machine, and that's it.
    My understanding (which may not be 100% correct) is that the one file that is absolutely necessary is iTunes Library, and that the XML file is actually a copy auto-generated from the iTunes Library, appearing in a different format only for non-iTunes apps that take advantage of the iTunes Library data.
    As far as I know, if you simply have the Library (database) file and all your original music files, iTunes on that computer should operate as it did on your old computer. I believe that the Album Artwork, Genius Data, and XML files can be regenerated from the Library file. Not sure about the Extras file.

  • Hi there, I need to be able to read raw files from an Olympus Stylus 1 via CS5 and Lightroom 4.  I have downloaded Raw file plug-in v 6.7.1 but still can't read the files.

    Hi there, I need to be able to read raw files from an Olympus Stylus 1 via CS5 and Lightroom 4.  I have downloaded Raw file plug-in v 6.7.1 but still can't read the files?

    Read this table http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    The Olympus Stylus 1 was first supported in Camera Raw 8.3 which is only compatible with CS6 and CC.
    It is not compatible with CS5 or older and never will be.
    If you do not want to upgrade to CS6 or CC then you can dwonload the free Adobe DNG converter, convert all Stylus 1 Raw files to DNGs then edit the DNGs in CS5.
