Autorun / import does not recognize .NEF files...

I've tried to get LR to launch when inserting a memory card but cannot get it to do so when the memory card only has .nef files on it.
LR will launch with .jpg files on the card.
I have gone into the registry and added the *.nef and DCIM\*\*.nef as file types into the PictureContentSniffer key alongside .jpg and other image file types - to no avail.
Anybody got any suggestions at all?
thanks
Rod

First - THANK YOU John for making a suggestion. It was of course one of the more obvious things to try early. Alas no joy.
LR relies on the autoplay capabilities of window - which internally is build around a set of different media event handlers - in turn triggered by "sniffers" which look for audio, picture or video content on inserted media. The sniffers / event triggers to work with standard picture file types. And there is, as I noted, a way to edit the sniffer file masks. But for some reason my system does not seem to pay attention to these edited masks.
Something deeper is awry.
Open to any further suggestions. (excepting "clean Windows reinstall LOL)

    I have Photoshop CS3 which I have used successfully for a number of years.  I now shoot pics with a Nikon DSLR D7100. When I try to open NEF files the following flag appears: "Could not complete your request because PS does not recognize this file".  What do I need to do to open my NEF files??  Thanks.

    Thanks for the quick reply, CP
    FYI, the file is a photographic panorama based on several .CR2 photos taken in July, 2012 and processed in CS5's camera RAW/Photoshop.  Beyond the metadata, here are no fonts or text in the file.
    1.  I changed Maximize ...File Capability from "Never" to "Always" and the flattened file saved and loaded OK, though I can't figure why given Adobe's description of this option. "If you work with PSD and PSB files in older versions of Photoshop or applications that don’t support layers, you can add a flattened version of the image to the saved file...".  The file saved in this manner is ~8% larger and is not my preference as a routine since I've TB's of photo files.  By the way, out of thousands of .psd/.psb files, the one being discussed is the first to give me the error.
    2.  I've tried saving/reloading the file on another computer with Win XP Sp3/CS5...again with Maximize Capability OFF.  Same problem.  Turn ON Maximize Capability and it works.  As with the Win 8 machine, Bridge could neither create a thumbnail or read Metadata.
    3.  I've purged the Bridge Cache, made sure there were no old PS page files, reset PS preferences, and disabled my 2 plugins with no change in the problem.  Windows and Adobe progs are all updated.  Saving to a different HDD has no effect.
    The problem occurs on 2 computers (Win XP/Win 8), two versioins of Photoshop (CS5/CS6), and "Maximize" On/Off togles the problem.  My guess it is a bug in PSD processing routines.
    If I can't find a fix, will keep with Maximize ON and deal with the larger files that result...the cost of insurance, I suppose.
    Thanks again

  • Lightroom 5.6 does not recognize nef (RAW) image files generated with the new Nikon D750: who can help here or knows what to do? Thanks, Peter

    LR 5.6 doesn't support the new Nikon D750. You have to wait to the next update.
    You con also install the release candidate of the DNG converter and convert your NEF files to dng.

  • Importer does not recognize already imported photos

    Hello,
    I have a really annoying problem with Aperture 3.0.3. The importer does not recognize already imported photos and wants to import them again and again. This is true for photos from my iPhoneand also for photos from my Nikon. If I enable "Do not import duplicates" then some photos vanish from the importer, when I the iPhone view is open. In the Nikon view not even one photo is recognized as already imported.
    Also very strange is that when I have the iPhone (iOS 4.1 installed) attached to the Mac, Aperture opens the importer automatically and shows all photos correctly - but strangely, both iMac CPUs are at 100% until I click either "Cancel" or "Start import" or I disconnect the iPhone.
    I tried the following without success:
    - Correct permissions on media library
    - Repair media library
    - Rebuild media library
    Imports from my iPhone last very long and seem to hang most of the time. I have to kill Aperture to make it work again all the time.
    To me, it looks like there is something really messed up at the base of this program.
    I have about 20000 files in my library - face recognition is not turned off - most of the preferences are at their default, I think. Did not play around very much.
    Does anybody know what to do? I don't want to lose all my Projects (sorted all pictures into their own projects). But I want to work with Aperture again. When its working, it's a great tool.
    Regards
    Alex

    I've had the same problem. For some things, like videos and photos on my iPhone, I've found as many as 5 copies of the images despite keeping the 'do not import duplicates' checked.
    I've also found a bug with the import function, where if I'm importing from folders on my hard drive, sometimes it finds no images at all (even if they don't exist in my library). Simply cancelling and going back into import and the miraculously appear (including images that have already been imported despite having 'do not import duplicates' checked.).
    I've been going through my library deleting all the duplicates, and managed to free about 10GB of space.
    Having moved from Lightroom the 'technical side' of Aperture seems very antiquated. For example, if I remove a duplicate video - then try clicking on that video in Aperture, it literally takes about 10-15 minutes of spinning disc before Aperture becomes responsive. It also often hangs up on the 'updating previews' when I quit.
    Such a shame aperture is so bad. I really like the functionality - eg. having my photos automatically sync with my Apple TV, but it seems to be absolutely full of bugs.

  • I have produced a number of DVD on my iMac. They are stored in a folder called Burn Folder. I want to get them into iTunes so I can play them on Apple TV. I have tried to convert them to MP4s using Handbrake but Handbrake does not recognize these files.

    If you have the original movie files, you'd be much better converting those, otherwise try MPEGstreamclip.

  • Thunar does not recognize image file formats

    Hi Archers,
    My problem is that I use XFCE4 with Thunar file manager and Thunar does not recognize image file formats. I mean for example JPG format is an executable application fromat according to my Thunar, but I'd like Thunar to recognize JPG format as image or bitmap format appearing with small preview of the image.
    Any help is appritiated!

    Yes, I did.
    Activating Show Thumbnails button in Preferences of Thunar does not work.

  • I transferred CS5 to a new computer using PC transfer program. CS5 started up on the new computer OK, but now does not recognize raw files. Should I uninstall and reinstall again?

    I transferred CS5 to a new computer using PC mover ultimate. CS5 appeared to start up normally, I had to insert the serial number from my original CD. However, now the program does not recognize CR files and Adobe bridge is not working properly.  I get messages that CS5 needs to be updated, but the updates fail. What should I do? Should I uninstall CS5 on the new computer, uninstall CS5 on the old computer using the original CD, and then reinstall CS5 using the CD on the new computer?

    Transferring programs does not work well with Adobe applications.  You should install them.
    As far as having the program on different machines goes, you are allowed to have two activated installations so if it is working on the original machine there is no reason to remove it unless you need the space.

  • Organizer (PSE 8) does not recognize DNG files

    I recently upgraded to Elements 8 for Windows.  Although I can load DNG files in to Editor, work with them and save them, the Organizer says it does not recognize this file type and will not load DNG files.  In Windows Explorer, I had to associate my DNG files (I use XP) as being an Adobe Elements file so the install program clearly dropped the ball.  Did not have this problem with Elements 7.  Organizer recognizes my Camera RAW files just fine.

    I am able to get DNG files in PSE Organizer 8.0 and didnot see any issue.
    Could you restart your system and see if it works!

  • Photoshop CS3 Does not open NEF files - ???

    Hi all,
    I just installed Fireworks cs3 (old version) on my mac, as I want to work with slideshows without having to bother with html and xml language.
    To my horror I found out that Bridge CS3 and PS CS3 do not open a Nikon Raw file (.nef) All I get is a message saying: "Could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file.
    Has any of you ever come across this? How can I solve the problem?

    You can make sure your Photoshop and RAW converter are up to date. You don't say what camera you're using, so it will be hard to guess, but it's probably newer than CS3. In that case you have two Adobe options: upgrade to CS4, or use the free DNG converter to convert your NEF files to DNG, then process them in Camera RAW.

  • Offline File | Zero KB CRW's | "Photoshop does not recognize this file"

    The first symptom was when I got the dialogue "The file named "CRW_0004.CRW" is offline or missing. I located the file using spotlight only to get a "Could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file." when trying to open it in photoshop. Upon closer inspection I found that the CRW file was 0KB. I searched for 0 KB CRW & CR2 files to find thousands of files. Heart sinks.
    I recently started using lightroom to import and organize all my files. Now it seems something has gone gravely wrong. Any ideas?
    Intel iMac 2core
    OSX 10.5.7
    LR 2.4
    Camera Raw 5.4

    …and just before I ran the utility I did an export and got a warning that 18 files were offline or missing and 1.file doesn't exist. But once I tried to Right Click>> show in finder and went through the relocate dialogue LR immediatly found the file. Reattempt to export files from "Photos that failed to export" folder went flalessly.

  • HT3258 what about final cut does not recognize mts file

    what about final cut does not recognize mts file

    If you have an AVCHD camcorder, you need to select one of the AVCHD Apple Intermediate Codec Easy Setups in FCE that matches how you shot the video in your camcorder.  (eg, AVCHD Apple Intermediate Codec 1920x1080i60 would be appropriate for camcorders produced for North America unless you selected some other video type in the camera's setup.)   After selecting the appropriate Easy Setup, create a new sequence then import the video from your camcorder.
    If you only have the .mts files themselves (perhaps because you copied them to your hard drive without their entire surrounding AVCHD folder structure), that's another matter.  In that case you need Clipwrap or similar app to transcode the .mts files to QuickTime/Apple Intermediate Codec before importing them into FCE.   You still need to have the correct easy setup in FCE.
    It would help to know exactly what make/model camcorder you have, and what model Mac and versions of OS X and QuickTime.

  • LR5.7.1 does not recognize all files on SD or CF cards?

    I have been using LR 5.7.1 through creative cloud. Using LR since verison 1 ) Using a card reader to import, LR now does not recognize all of the files on either SD or CF cards. To get LR to see all of the files, I must close LR and sturn off comptuer and back on again. --then LR  might see all of the files on the cards.    The lats time, LR  saw the files,  I clocked "import" and LR make the smart previews BUT when started to make the regular previews I watched the previews turn black right before my eyes. Now I Have no files--they are all black. I quit LR and looked at the files in Finder--all of the files are black there too. What has hapened and what can I do to get my files back. I put the card back into the camera--and the files are not tiny and it says "unidentified files" on teh camera LCD screen. 
    . What can I do? I'

    Card reader—never thought of that. I tried a new card reader and test shots on other cards with both cameras. All seems to be working fine now. I even put in the old corrupted card and the same corrupted images are still black but the good ones are still good.  Thanks again for your help. I have a big job coming up and I was quite worried.
