Aperture refuses to import from Nikon D300

After Yesterdays update Aperture refuse to import RAW files from my Nikon D300 as it did before. I get the message "0 images has been imported...".
I can import to iPhoto and them export to Aperture so the RAW files seems OK.
And I can still import JPEGS from my small Canon IS850 directly to Aperture

I am doubting this has to do with updating to Aperture 2.1.2, but rather might be related to Camera RAW 2.3 -- what version of Camera RAW have you installed?
In the a topic about auto-rotation here, there are confirmed problems with not only auto-rotation, but also recognizing as duplicates any images remaining on the card that have previously been imported. The auto-rotation problem, at least in the Previews, is common to both Aperture and iPhoto 08, so clearly points to CRAW 2.3.
We need to see if your experience might also be related to CRAW 2.3. I am having no problem importing from a card reader with cards used in my D200 and D300 cameras, however, other than those mentioned in that topic.

RAW files from my Nikon Df (NEF) will not display in Lightroom. Same format from Nikon D300s works. Camera firmware is current. Df RAW (NEF) files display in Nikon software products, not in Apple software (Aperture or iPhoto).

http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
The above list show the current camera models supported by Adobe Camera Raw (plugin for PS CC) and Lightroom 5.3.
You will see that the Df Raw support was provided in the latest version of LR 5.3. Support for the D300s was introduced in LR 2.5. (the NEF files are different.)
Lightroom and Adobe Camera Raw can only be updated after the camera manufacturer has produced the camera and made it publicly available. If you are using an earlier version of Lightroom then that is your problem.
Please post details of the version you are using at present.

I cannot view images imported from nikon d4

i cannot view images imported from nikon d4.
I have just upgraded to the most current version of aperture and when I import images from my qxd card it looks like it is importing but no images show up.

So the images show up in the Import pane of Aperture but after you press the Import button they do not show in the project you are importing into?
Does this happen for both Raw and JPG images?

Cannot open .avi files imported from Nikon d90 in Adobe Premiere 6.0.

Cannot open .avi files imported from Nikon d90 in Adobe Premiere 6.0.
When I try to open the file I get the following error message:
"cannot open that file
the file uses an unsupported file compression format"
I really need urgent help with this so if you know a soloution, please post it!

I don't do mjpeg so you will have to search the forum for advice
But... having a playback codec installed does not ALWAYS mean the codec will work for Premiere editing
After you search the forum and find the (I think free) codec vendors, you will need to install fresh so Premiere will "see" the codec for editing
Or, Google
convert mjpeg avi
To convert to DV AVI type 2 with 48khz sound so the files will "natively" edit in Premiere
My GUESS (you didn't say) is the d90 is a STILL camera that has a video function, not a true camcorder
If you plan to do much video work, you need a tape-based DV camcorder so you use Firewire to do a digital transfer as a "real" AVI that Premiere may edit without conversion or extra software
For a Firewire DV Camera - look at Panasonic PV-GS320 or GS500 (Note that I have not used either, but they have good reviews)

Iphoto 9.5.1 imports from nikon D7100 are flat

My iphoto 9.5.1 imports from nikon D7100 are flat, and the iPhoto controls do not seem to give as much control as earlier version i am upgrading from.

Export the photo out of iPhoto via the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu option with Kind = Original to the Desktop and view them with Preview. Do they look flat there?
Are you shooting RAW or JPEGs?

How do i view Nef format pictures downloaded from Nikon D300 to Ps Cs3

Hello,
Wonder if any one can help.
Trying to download camera raw format pictures from a Nikon D300 into photoshop CS3. All that can be seen is the icons ( but no picture) . A dialoge box appears with a message saying that 'Ps does not support this type of file' ( ie. Nef) and therefore cannot show it.
Downoading to Photoshop bridge, the same issue appears where the icons are visible ( but no mininature image is shown.
many thanks

Robert-
If your PSCS3 version is fully upgraded it should read Nikon D300 files via built-in ACR without difficulty. If not, contact Adobe tech support. DNG... no thank you.
IMO you should also be running under either OS 10.4.11 or 10.5.3.
ACR works fine if one prefers a Photoshop Bridge or Lightroom workflow, but better NEF conversion (and IMO workflow) is available to owners of strong Macs via Apple's Aperture. Best quality NEF conversions come from Nikon View (free) and from Nikon Capture NX, but IMO Nikon's workflow is lethargic.

Camera import settings (Nikon D300)?

How can my Nikon D300 photos all be imported with adjustments to black, brightness, and contrast? Is this an automatic setting (or something I have done mistakenly)?
I have used LR for many years, 25,000+ pictures, and many cameras. When I started importing pictures from a new Camera (a Nikon D300), I see that the following changes are made to every picture:
Black +5
Brightness +50
Contrast +25
I don't know how this happened. I appear not to have edited the photos (the actual Import photo in the history has this setting). My other cameras do not have this setting. Someone please help!
PS I don't ever recall using the synch setting for anything but I am suspicious that only this might have done that.

Please forgive my lack of knowledge of what's overexposed... Unlike Huey, I'm no pro! I do have a sense that the iMac monitors are quite bright and not perhaps terribly accurate until calibrated. (Maybe that's every monitor, IDK.)
Well the Huey is decidedly non-pro, but it still works quite well if you're not super sensitive. If you pay more, you'll get better precision, but I doubt most people will notice, especially if you don't also profile your printer or send out for prints from labs.

Take an image of a white wall using default exposure on your camera. It should come out looking like an 18% grey card after conversion in Lightroom. Anyway, iMac monitors are notorious for being far too bright. They are almost impossible to get to reference luminance. A trick to try if you do not have a calibrator that does display brightness is described here by Eric Chan. You use your camera's light meter for it. You'll see that for the iMac display you're all the way on the bottom of the brightness scale. You do not want to use any LCD monitor at high brightness because they tend to lose detail in the highlights. A good test of that is available here. You should see the differences in most of the patch pairs in the rightmost column. If you don't, your monitor is set too bright.

Importing from Nikon D7000 into Lightroom

Lightroom does not seem to recognize my Nikon D7000. I connect the camera, open LR, and nothing happens. I can click Import, but it doesn't recognize the device. The D7000 comes with Nikon's ViewNX2 software which they want you to use for import. Do I really need to use that to import photos from the camera, then import them from ViewNX2 into LR? That seems like a pain. I just upgraded to LR 3.6 so I don't think that's the issue.
Thanks for any help!
Carrie

Carrie,
3.6 will read your D7000 files. In general it's best to use a card reader, but the camera should work. I'm not familiar with the D7000, but my D300 has two modes for USB: PTP and Mass Storage. The camera has to be set to Mass Storage to read images from it. Your camera may be the same.
If that isn't the case, try using Windows Explorer or Mac's Finder to drag and drop your pictures from the camera to your hard disk and then import from there.
Let us know how it goes.

Cant open RAW files from Nikon D300S

I have a Nikon D300S. I can't open RAW files in Adobe CS4. Screen message is 'Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document'. I understood from this Adobe website that the fix was to download Camera Raw 5_5. I've done that and the same screen message appears. What am I doing wrong / what do I need to do to fix the problem.   If you can list a step by step process in the plainest terms possible then that would be appreciated. Thanks

Firstly thanks to all who are trying to assist. I appreciate your spending time on this.   Hopefully this additional info will help:
(1) the camera is a Nikon D300s. I'm not aware of any model details beyond this   It was bought c9 months ago.
(2) I bought Adobe CS4 before buying the Nikon D300s.   I've used CS4 to convert RAW files from my other cameras - a Nikon D2H and a Minolta Dimage - without any bother at all.
(3) CS4 is loaded onto my Windows based PC in to the Windows 'Downloads' folder. I'm not using any Mac computers.
(4) The procedure I followed to upload the Adobe files was:
(a) I clicked 'Help' - About Plug-in - Camera Raw. Info on screen says 'Version 5.0.0.178
(b) In looking at the Adobe support web pages (I can't now find which one it was) it indidated I should check for updates. I downloaded and saved Photoshop_11.0.2_mul_AdobeUpdate. Its filed in my 'Downloads' folder in Windows.
(c) I used the Adobe search engine using an enquiry "CS4 Camera Raw Updates'. This produced a page with box at the top and 2 headings 'Digital camera raw file support' and 'Adobe camera raw and DNG convertor downloads'. Under this second heading there are choices to click for Widows and Mac OS. I selected Windows. The result produces a list of Updates / Programmes.   I selected Adobe DNG Convertor 5.5 update and Camera Raw 5.5 update and downloaded both into my Windows 'Downloads' folder. I chose these because according to the list info they were relevanf for the Nikon D300s. I attempted to open a photo taken from the D300s in Raw and the photo would not open - the usual '......not the right document' message.
(d) from Forum contributions I then deleted version 5.5 of both files downloaded at (c) above and installed version 5.7 and then tried to view the Raw image again, Same result. This is the up to date position as at this post.
Have I missed a step somewhere? eg should there be a step forcing a link from the downloaded updates to CS4 or do the downloads automatically link to CS4 when the download is complete?
Any furhter help you can offer is appreciated. Thanks.

Unable to see RAW NEF image from Nikon D300 in CS3

Have Camera Raw Plug-in Version 4.0 in my PS CS3 and am not able to see images from my recently purchased used Nikon D300. I have no problems seeing the NEF images downloaded from my Nikon D80. I typically download the images from my camera thru Lightroom 2.4. Do I need a more recent Camera Raw Plug-in? I want to make sure I'm still compatible with LR. Any suggestions will be hellpful.

Yes, you are outdated with the RAW plug in and probably not able to use the
correct version that supports your camera.
You have two options:
1- upgrade to CS4 and benefit from all other good this has to offer
2- If you won't or can't upgrade use the DNG route, DNG is a free offered
(by Adobe) converter. The latest DNG converter will convert your D300 files
to the open DNG format which will show your RAW (then as DNG but still the
same quality) files and you will be able to use it in CS3.
There is lot's of information about in on this page:

Aperture hangs on import from iPhone or camera

Since a few weeks I can't import from my iPhone or digital camera anymore.
If I try to import Photos from my iPhone or camera Aperture hangs forever. The Photos should be imported as referenced ones to a folder on a network share on a Mac OS X Server. This works fine, if the Picture source is i.e. a memory card or a HDD. And it has been working with the iPohne and camera before.
What happens is, that Aperture creates a file like "..importing.IMG0815.JPG" with 0 Bytes in the target folder. And than it hangs.
From this point on there is a permanent network traffic, and reasonable CPU load on both Macs (the kernel_task on the client and the AppleFileServer task on the Server). If I delete the "..importing.IMG0815.JPG" file it is instantly recreated. This continues even if I kill the Aperture application. The only way to stop this is to unmount the Network Volume.
Does anyone has an idea what this may cause?

Aperture, Lightroom etc. are all designed to make use of direct import. They are safer than copying your files via the OS tools for the simple reason they access the cards read-only. If you use OS tools to copy then you are accessing the cards read-write which is far more dangerous if something goes wrong.
Culling your images during import saves time and disk space also. Copying your images directly and then importing is a WASTE OF YOUR TIME.
We disagree. Although such apps are indeed "designed" for direct import, my empirical observations since the earliest days of digital imagery have been that interacting indirectly using an app like Aperture is much, much less stable than directly interacting via Finder when properly done. One can peruse literally hundreds of digital image threads including this one to see overwhelming real-world evidence of what I am talking about.

Over exposure downloading from Nikon D300 to lightroom 2.3

Following upgrade to Lightroom 2.3 when images are downloaded from my Nikon D300 (raw or jpeg) they are all overexposed after quickly appearing in preview. How do I correct this. Is this a camera or software problem
David Neal

I had the same problem with a D700.
Applying the Standard profile will correct the colors but not exposure.
Another thing to check is that you have not unable Advanced D-Light on your camera. Automode is the worst case because you don't even know how much over exposure is set!
This camera option is a tricky one: it overexpose your photo and make a built in camera process to recover details in the over/under exposed zones.
LR is not able to read this information (proprietary info in the NEF raw file) so the photo is over-exposed.
One way is to use the exposure LR cursor (-0.25 can simulate a light ADL..) but you will never have the same photo because Nikon processing is different and specific for each over/under exposed zones: sometime using the LR exposure brush is necessary on this zones (darken a sky for example).
Antoher thing is to desactive the Nikon ADL. You will then have nearly the same picture between LR Raw and your embedded Jpeg, you only need to apply the Standard or Neutral LR profil to correct the colors.
Then, if you want to recover some details in the over/under exposed zones, you can add a LR exposure brush on these zones. The good thing is that you control manually what Nikon ADL do automatically...

Viewing Raw files (.NEF) from Nikon D300 in Preview (OS X 10.4.11)

Hi,
I can't view Raw (.NEF) files from my new Nikon D300 dSLR in Preview. I can view the ones from my older D70. I put this question on a photography forum, and the problem seems to be with the OS. The D300 and D3 are new and popular cameras. I have no other particular reason to upgrade to 10.5 yet - is there likely to be an upgrade to 10.4, or Preview, or a plug-in or something, that will solve this? (BTW I have no problem opening these files in Lightroom, but I like to use Preview to browse).
Richard

Richard,
Did you ever find a way around this? I am in the same boat. I use CS3 and Lightroom to view and edit the D3 raw images but would like to be able to preview them quickly with Preview or Photo Reviewer software which depends on the OS raw converter support.
The newest OS update available on March 20 still doesn't fix the problem. Maybe Apple will offer another update soon??

Aperture hangs while importing from iPhone

Hello,
Aperture 3.5.1 hangs on MacOS 10.9.2 after importing pictures from the iPhone.
All pictures are in fact imported, but the process is never finished and the dialog, if I want to delete the imported originals never pops up.
When I unplug the iPhone, I won't get an error alert. I also can't quit the application. It looks like hanging in an endless loop.
any idea how to fix that?
Thanks
matthias

There may be a photo or video on your iPhone, that cannot be imported and needs to be deleted from your iPhone, matthias. Do you remember when this problem started, so you can identify the videos or photos that are causing this? Can Image Capture import without hanging?
Have you installed the most recent iTunes update? It is supposed to fix problems with syncing to devices.
If none of the applications can import from your iPhone, I would try to troubleshoot the phone:
Try the three R's - Restart, Reset, Restore

Aperture failed to import from Image Capture

Is there any way to rescue all the images (I deleted before finding out )that failed to import (for who knows what reason!) into Aperture from Image Capture (off my iPhone)?

I'd appreciate an answer to this also as I frequently receive an "Aperture failed to import" message unless I directly import images from my camera (i.e., I can't use a card reader or import images saved to an import folder).
