Camera RAW (Nikon NEF)

Just bought the new Lightroom 5 and went to work. Now I looked in the compatability list and saw that I will need a Lightroom better dan 3.3 for my camera, no problem 5 is.
Maybe I'm to dumb but there is no support for any Nikon camera. What now?
Please advise.
Roel

This discussion probably belongs in the Lightroom forum, not the Adobe Camera Raw forum which is mostly about the ACR plug-in for Photoshop, but I’ll answer, anyway:
LR has support for many Nikon cameras. How are you judging the lack of support? What are you doing that doesn’t work how you expect it to?
As a first guess, if you have a newer Nikon camera and are using a very old Nikon Transfer 1 or View NX, something that came with an old Nikon camera to copy your NEF files from your camera to your hard-drive then the obsolete Nikon software is corrupting your NEFs so that LR doesn’t recognize them.
The solution for ne4w NEFs is to either use a version of View NX2 that is new like your camera, or stop using Nikon software to transfer your files and use Lightroom, or just use Finder of Explorer to copy the NEFs to where they should be on your hard-drive and import from there.
Another guess is that you’re trying to open an NEF with LR5 instead of using LR5 to create a LR catalog database, and then using LR’s File / Import to instruct LR where the NEF files are.

Camera raw nikon d7100

ik heb sinds kort een nikon d7100 maar deze werkt niet meer met mn camera raw door (NEF bestand van nikon) van elements ik heb van alles geprobeert en overal gezocht maar vind geen oplossing, is er eventueel een manier om camera raw op te starten zonder eerst elements of orginizer te openen?

HI,
You don't say which version of Photoshop Elements you have.
You don't need to use the organizer. If you open a raw file in the editor, Camera Raw will automatically be loaded to read the file.
If you have Photoshop Elements 10 or earlier you need to buy a new version or use the free Adobe DNG converter.
If you have Photoshop Elements 11 you need to update it by going to Help -> Updates.
If you have Photoshop Elements 12 the it should be working jut after installing it.
If you still can't read the raw files, you may be using an old version of the Nikon software which corrupts the files - see

Does PS support RAW Nikon .NEF files

Can RAW (Nikon .NEF) files be imported into PS Elements 11

Hi there
Yes, PS Elements 11 supports RAW files with the Camera Raw plugin. Just make sure you have the latest version of RAW installed and that you are using a compatible camera.
Here are some additional links, as well as a list of supported Nikon cameras:

TS2518 My RAW (nikon .NEF) files changing to a dull, darker version of themselves after selecting them for the first time after import.

My RAW (nikon .NEF) files are literally changing to a dull, darker version of themselves after selecting them for the first time after import. I.e. The correct photo (light/color/etc) seems to be there and then a second later the photo changes. It's almost like it's showing a quick enhanced version then back to basic raw image. Started within last two updates.
Is there a fix or is this the straw that forces a switch to Lightroom?

Just recall that Aperture (or any other 3rd party raw converter) has NO information about the JPEG preview and how it was made. That information is camera-vendor proprietary.
Also note that there are like 6 "picture styles" in camera and this change you're seeing is entirely dependent on how you have them set. If you have your camera set to "vivid" or something you'll see more of a change than if your on-camera is set to "faithful."
That said, people here ALSO complain that Aperture's initial renders are TOO vivid, the exact opposite of your complaint, so you can't please everybody (in some cases, it seems you can't please ANYBODY ;-)
Aperture provides a starting point. Again, if you don't like it, you can tell Aperture to go with a "punchier" interpretation at its first render. In the import dialog, try setting Aperture to use the "auto enhance" preset which is built in. Aperture will add a little vibrancy adjustment, and it will add a curve, which will greatly add punch to the image. If you want adjustments in a different direction, you can create a preset and set it at import.
The only thing Aperture CANNOT do is what you're asking, which is "take the JPEG that my camera vendor generates through some voodoo and try and render the raw file just like that." It's, unfortunately, impossible to do.

Color Difference - Camera Raw & Nikon Raw NEF

Hello everybody
When i open a Nikon Raw file in Camera Raw (Photosop CC) I notice a distinct color-difference between the integrated preview image in the Raw file and the camera Raw standard.
I want to start with the exact same color how it came from the camera.
Refers to Nikon D300 or D800 in Raw / Nef format.
left, from Camera Raw 8.4.1 "Camera Raw Standard"
right, integrated preview from the original raw-file
Mostly i have the difference in Blue, it's too much cyan in there an looks not "natural"!
thanks for help

The third icon in from the right (looks like a camera) called camera calibrations is where the presets live that supposedly match that of your camera.
Even though you use those presets, you are not done. To match what you see in your camera, you must manually adjust the sliders under the basic tab until it does match.
What you see in your camera is a processed image, which is applied to a jpg only. The raw file is just that raw, no processing is done to it. Think of it as a negative. It is your permanent record of the image. Camera raw is then used to manually set up the image to your personal liking. Which does a better job the camera or yourself, is dependent on your skills. You can get details out of that raw file that the camera can not.
When you find you are placing the sliders in certain location more than once, then it is time to create a preset in camera raw that stores those settings. The more you use camera raw, more you can see when your own preset can be used (even as a starting point) and when it is time to do everything manually.
So in other words it is going to take time to 1)get a keen eye 2)understand the subtle differences in what each setting does and 3) collect a library of presets that you can use time and again.

Trouble with Adobe Camera Raw, Nikon D750, Photoshop CC 2014

I have Photoshop CC 2014 running on an HP ZBook 15 with Windows 7 Professional. I recently downloaded Camera Raw 8.7.311. I did not install the DNG converter. I shoot raw in my Nikon D750. I download the NEF images to my HP laptop using a memory card reader. I installed Bridge from Creative Cloud. When I check in Photoshop CC 2014, it says the Camera Raw 8.7.1.311 plug-in is present. But if I try to open a NEF image, it fails and says it is an unsupported file type. When I go into Bridge, the "Open using Camera Raw" option is faded and cannot be selected. So what do I do? TIA, Rob

Success! My problem was I had the old version of the Nikon software on my computer and I had used that to download the photos. I copied the NEF files directly from my memory card reader and then could open them no problem in Photoshop CC 2014. Many thanks to gener7 and all who made suggestions.

Cannot see Raw Nikon NEF images in finder windows

I had a problem with my Macbook pro so I had to re-install the operating system, which is Leopard.
Now I can't see the my Nikon NEF images in the finder windows, they only show the jpeg pictures.
I remember this was a problem over a year ago and somehow I resolved it, but I can 't remember how. I'm doing the usual thing such as click VIEW - OPTIONS - ALWAYS OPEN IN ICON VIEW - but this does not seem to work.
Can anyone remind me what to do?

The issue should only occur if you shoot raw. Currently OS X can only display/read certain RAW camera formats. These are OS level, meaning iPhoto, Preview, Mail, Aperture and others are effected. However adobe products are different because they use Adobe Camera RAW.
I would expect JPEGs TIFFs and PSDs, both thumbnails and files, to view fine. RAW files will not view from the D300, but the D200 is supported.
There is no way of knowing when support for the (not-so-)new files will be available. Rumor has it it will be 10.5.2, but only Apple knows that. You can head on over to the Aperture forum and read to see if some have work-arounds.

PSE12 Camera Raw / Nikon D7100

I´m using an iMac with Yosemite 10.10. I´ve Photoshop Elements 12.1 with Camera Raw 8.5.0.236 installed.
I can´t open my Nikon D7100 NEF-files. It says that my camera files are not supported...!???
I´ve search all over Adobe.com and the Internet and can´t find a way around the problem.
I´ve used to love Adobe-products, but I´m beginning to start looking for something else to use...
Pls help!

The Nikon D7100 has been supported since ACR 7.4 so ACR 8.4 should be plenty new enough.
The issue may be that you’ve transferred or even viewed the NEFs with an obsolete Nikon software such as Nikon Transfer or View NX, which will rendering them unrecognizable to Adobe software.
Test this by copying the NEFs to your hard-drive using Finder or some other non-Nikon-based software.
There is a utility from Phil Harvey that can reverse the corruption, available here:
http://owl.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/fix_corrupted_nef.html
If this isn’t the issue, can you upload one of the NEFs that doesn’t work to somewhere like http://www.dropbox.com and post a public download/share link in a reply, here, so others can test it.

Photoshop CS + Camera Raw + Nikon D80

Hello,
I'm using P'shop CS on MAC 10.4.9 and recently upgraded my camera to a Nikon D80. I discovered that P'shop CS does not support D80 RAW thru the existing RAW plug-in (2.4) --apparently, the Camera RAW plug-in is supported by P'shop CS up thru version 2.X.
And, the D80 is NOT supported by 2.X; but, I have been told the D80 IS supported by Camera RAW 3.X . However, not ready to upgrade P'shop CS quite yet.
DOES ANYONE KNOW OF A WORK AROUND TO GET THE D80 CAMERA RAW SUPPORTED BY CS?
Thanks Very Much,
John

What John says is right. Digital cameras do not shoot at higher resolution in the raw mode. If we use 6 MP as a "general" reference, the camera is taking a picture that is 2000 pixels high and 3000 pixels wide. The resolution (72 PPI or 240 PPI or whatever) is simply used as a reference to help you understand how big the image would be at any given resolution. Generally speaking, JPEG images are usually reported at 72 PPI because (generally) JPEG images are often used for viewing on a computer screen whereas raw images will be used more commonly for printing as individual images or as part of a group of images for a magazine, for instance. Again, the 72 PPI or the 240 PPI are simply references to tell you that if those six megapixels are "squeezed" so that they are that close together, that is how big the image would be. But as far as the image is concerned, it is the same image regardless of what the resolution reports.

Photostream: RAW (Nikon NEF) JPG?

Hi,
I am using the ipad camera connection kit to download photos made with my Nikon D90. I try using the photostream / icloud to transfer these photos to my PC.
It does work but not 100% as I expected:
- When I only shoot in jpg mode, jpgs are transferred to the icloud and later to my PC
- When I only shoot in RAW (NEF files) mode, RAW files are transfeerred to the icloud and later to my PC
- When I shoot in Raw + Jpg mode only the jpg files are transferred to the cloud and later to my PC
I use Raw + jpg quite often so that I can work on the raw files when jpgs are not to my satisfaction.
However, if the photostream does only catch one of the two formats, then the whole idea of using the photostream when travellin becomes obsolete.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Johannes

Camera raw Nikon D7000

Hi, I am in the UK. Will my Nikon D7000 raw files be opened in PSE 9 without having to downolad a plug-in or an upgrade? I have PSE 8 and it won't open the files. Thanks, ot

You need to update to PSE9 as your camera model is not supported in earlier versions
N.B. If you are not wishing to upgrade to PSE9 - you can use the freely available DNG converter 6.3 and then use Elements to open and edit the DNG files. It’s recommended you keep your original raw files as back-up as they can always be read by your camera software.

Camera RAW support 2.2 update and Nikon .NEF unsupported image format

Hi,
I Use a Nikon D2x and only take raw images (.NEF file)
After I update from RAW support 2.1.1 update to RAW support 2.2 update, all my raw image file (.NEF file) taken before 13th September 2006 ! would not display - In the Aperture program, if i navigate to a project / folder and clicked on a thumb nail in the browser, I get a magenta / cyan screen showing in the main viewer panel with unsupported image format. ?
This is my worst-case scenario ! - I have entrusted Aperture with all my digital images (all raw .NEF) images taken before 13th September 2006 are un accessible with camera RAW support 2.2 update installed !
I have deleted (the 2.2 update) “from” System/Library/CoreServices/RawCamera.bundle and reinstall the RAW support 2.1.1 update.
* NOW I can now see all my raw Nikon .NEF images and they are now all fully functional again *.
Their is a problem with the Apple digital camera RAW support 2.2 update, it rendered the Aperture program useless to me for my older .NEF image/files (as above).
This requires a fix ASAP
Martin

Thankfully, I wasn't affected by the issue given I'm currently with Canon. There have been Canon woes in the past though.
On a side note, I never update anything until it has been out for a few weeks just to be sure. Because Aperture is such an integral component of my studio and business, I make sure everything always works before making any updates or changes - including upgrading cameras.
I'm sure the next update will fix the magenta issues.
Best,
CD

Error with Nikon D600 and PSE 11 in RAW 9 (.nef) files.

When I used PSE 8, I could easily open any .nef files and edit them.
Now with PSE 11, I get an error message that says my camera is now not compatible. I have had a Nikon D600 and use a Nikon ED AF-S Nikkor VR 24-85mm 1:35-45G, Nikon ED EF-S Nikkor VR 70-300mm 1:45-56G lens and a Nikon DX AF-S Nikkor 18-55mm1:35-56G lens too.
The error message says "...file appears from a camera model which is not supported by installed version of Camera Raw ...". Why it PSE 11 not backward compatible?
I bought PSE 11 2 weeks ago. I bought the Nikon from a local camera shop in November 2012.
Per the Adobe website, I have installed DNG patches 7.2, 7.3 and 8.1. None have resolved the problem after fully installing the download (through Finish) and rebooting the PC several times.
I tried to download DNG 7.3, it fails
Where can I obtain the CS6 file the Adobe website says should resolve the problem too?
I have an HP PC running Windows Vista 32 BIT Processor.

I just caught the part about your having "uploaded DNG patches 7.2, 7.3 and 8.1".
Those are not "patches" at all but stand-alone applications on their own right. You don't just install the DNG Converter, you actually have to run the converter in a separate step and convert the raw Nikon NEF files to raw DNG files. The DNG Converter does not do anything magically or automatically. Point the DNG Converter to the folder containing your raw files; it works on folders, not on individual files. But you shouldn't even remotely need the Adobe DNG Converter in the first place.
However, most importantly, what you need to update is your ACR plug-in.
No matter when you buy an Adobe application, it will ALWAYS need to be updated right away, and so do all plug-ins. What you buy is always the original release, and by the time it's out there it will inevitably be obsolete.
If you go to the Help menu in Elements, I'm assuming it will have a menu item for Updates (or Check for Updates), that should offer to apply any applicable updates to Elements and to ACR plug-in.
