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

Apple Digital Camera RAW Support 2.2. update

After todays Apple Security Update 2008-007 the Apple Digital Camera RAW Support 2.2. update finally works correctly and the data can be aquired via card reader.

Lucky you jdonath....
I have still have the problem that have been mentioned in a number of posts in the forum, and what I guess you are refering to. And I have tried the advices I have found in those posts. I must admit that I might not have found them all.
The CF card on my Nikon D2Xs shows in finder, .nef files are there, but Aperture 2.1.1 don´t recognize my files only the card itself.
I use a card reader-not transferring files directly from the camera. I have installed the latest security update and camera raw 2.2. I have tried to go back to version 2.1 of the raw converter with no luck. I have repaired permissions, both with Onyx and with the disk tool in OSX.
Aperture opens when I put the CF card in the reader and it shows in the import option/drives window in Aperture, but the files are somewhere in outer space or at least hidden and unavailable for import.
So for now my solution is to dump the files to a picture dump folder on my hard-drive and import them from there to one of the libraries I use.
I have different libraries for work and private files in case someone wondered
It does not make any difference which library I use the problem is persistent. This feels like unnecessary work and not a very satisfying sollution in my workflow.
Yeah, yeah i use both belt and suspenders so the files are kept safe on an external drive as well. Manually copied of course... and btw i use a combo of referenced and managed files, but that should not make any difference. I have tried to alter that in the import options, with no apparent result of course.
Can anyone give me a hint what could (still) be wrong or do I have to be moderately patient and wait till next sunrise (it is late autumn and dark in Norway this time of year) , when Apple sends out version 2.3 and make a prayer that they remember that some photographers are still back in the stone age when comes to cameraequipment... ( I wish someone gave me a D3)
And just to make the confusion complete... It used to work BEFORE the security update last night...
Cheers and my 2 cents

Nikon D300 - Unsupported Image Format - intermittently!!!

Suddenly, I get intermittent displays of the maroon screen with Unsupported Image Format when displaying .NEF files which have worked fine before.
I see that others may have had this too...but could not find a definitive cause or solution...yet.
I am on latest version of everything with all patches installed, including the camera raw support 2.4

Try quitting and restarting Aperture... I bet the issue goes away after a restart (at least for a while).
Check the console logs (Applications/Utilities/Console.app)... click the "show log list" button, and select all messages, and then search for 'Aperture' and see if there is any log info indicating a problem. I suspect the RAW engine is reporting something's awry.

Nikon D3000 - Unsupported Image Format

Hi -
It looks like Aperture is not working with the new Nikon D3000 raw format. I am able to see the thumbnails but when I try to view the larger picture, I get an unsupported image format error. Anyone else having this problem?
** Snow Leopard and Aperture 2.1.4**

Tell me about it. I am a professional photographer who has been working with Nikon and Aperture for a little while now in our portrait work. We have two d300's and a d700 which all work fine. Just picked up Nikon's new D300s for some on location portraits and it isn't supported. I wonder how long it'll be before apple releases their update.

I bought a Nikon D610 and just tried to upload a RAW file to photoshop CS5 and was not able to. It said CS5 doesn't support the new file and to update it. I downloaded camera raw 6 4 1 update and it still doesn't work. Am I missing a step?

I

Unfortunately, Photoshop CS5 is not going to be able to open your D610 files directly.
The camera is newer than the latest update for your version of the software. Adobe stopped updating older versions to be able to read raw files from newer cameras when they released a new major version of Photoshop. Photoshop CS5 is no longer receiving Camera Raw updates.
To double check this yourself, using Adobe documentation:
First you need to determine whether Adobe has released support for your new camera in your version of Photoshop. To do that, look at these two pages. You'll want to find out the earliest version of Camera Raw that can support your camera, then what version of Photoshop can run that version of Camera Raw.
Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
Since your version of Photoshop cannot support your camera, you can download and install the latest version of the free Adobe DNG Converter, which can take your raw files as input and put out DNG format files, which your version of Photoshop can then open.
Photoshop Help | Digital Negative (DNG)
The DNG converter does work, but if you want maximum quality from your new camera's raw files (not to mention the convenience and ease of use of directly opening your raw files) you may want to consider upgrading to the latest version of Photoshop. Adobe has made substantial improvements in raw conversion quality in recent years.

Camera raw 8.3, Elements 11 and Nikon D5300

I have a new Nikon D5300. Elements 11 won't recognize the raw (NEF) files if I try to download them. The help section says I need camera raw 8.3, but I can't find that nor can I find a link to Elements, rather that Photoshop. Can someone help?

Just to add to mytaxsite's answer, PSE11 will only support up to Camera RAW 7.4. That is why you need to use the converter - http://www.adobe.com/uk/products/photoshop/extend.displayTab2.html#downloads.

Unsupported Image Format RAW (NEF) Nikon d7000 in Aperture 3, why?

I just bought a Nikon D7000. According to the Aperture 3 specs, it supports RAW (NEF) format from this camera. However, I get the message that the image format, which loads as thumbnails in the viewer, is not supported. I just downloaded the trial version of Aperture 3 (I'm not going to upgrade from my current version if it actually does NOT support this format).
I'm running OS X 10.5.8 witn 2.4G Intel Core 2 Duo 4G DDR3 memory Macbook Pro.
What other info do I need to provide to diagnose this?

Technically, you should only need to verify that you have at least the RAW Compatibility Update 3.6:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1357
Current version is 3.7 which can be found here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1386
Note - I assume that the 3.7 would include 3.6, but am not sure.
If you already have the correct RAW support for OS X and are importing new images into a new or trial library, you might try running the 'Repair Database' option found here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3805
Good luck.

Nikon D70 RAW files now get "Unsupported Image Format"

Prior to March 12th, everything was working fine with my D70 Raw files. I now get the maroon "Unsupported Image Format" (USF) when I select the images that were previously fine. They show up for a fraction of a second before I get the error. I tried rebuilding the database to no avail. I can export the RAW files and open them in Photoshop so they are OK. Also now when I import from my D70 I get the gray box instead of the image and a letterbox maroon USF message, the EXIF data still imports and is associated with the image. Help. I did upgrade to 1.1.1
Dual 1.8Ghz Powermac G5 2GB RAM Radeon X800 XT Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Well, I can't really put my finger on it. I know for sure it happened post 1.1 upgrade, but it happened with 1.0 as well (I didn't do any troubleshooting when it first happened, just re-imported and it was fine.) The last time it happened it was the last 20 images on the original CF card, mostly in succession, but there were a few images that were still able to be read okay inside of that 20 image string. I reimported from the original card (thank God I had not erased yet!) and it was fine.
At least I know to keep my originals outside of aperture, what a space wasting bummer! I don't think I have any bad RAM because I've been running for 2 years without any real problems... The minor problems have happened, I believe with very tough weather conditions (humidity) and I experienced problems on all my Macs and even at work on windows. Maybe it was sun flares or static electricity, I don't know. The other issue is that my a/c power dips to low voltage often and my UPS switched to battery. I have a better UPS which always outputs 120v even when things sag or jump.
The only other thing I can possibly think of is that I have my Aperture library on a new Seagate 300GB drive that has only been used for images and sits dormant in my system except for scratch disk and Aperture. Actually, I did use it for about a month or two mirroring my boot drive with no errors, so I think the drive is good. Grr!
Troubleshooting rare occurances without have access to trace level data *****! (At work we can take a trace dump from our equipment and the guys can see pretty quickly what happened, and if it is hardware or software issue.)
To clarify, which Dual 1.8 do you have? The June 2004 one with only 4 RAM slots, or the 2003 one that was added to the original lineup with 8 RAM slots?

10.5.2; Canon 1DsM3 Raw Files = "Unsupported Image Format" in Aperture

Just did the update and pointed Aperture to a folder of Canon 1Ds Mark III raw files (standard raw files, no sRaw or anything like that). Thumbnail previews are grey and Viewer says, "Unsupported Image Format".
Tried rebooting and verifying/fixing permissions. No help. No thumbnails, no images in Aperture.
Canon 1Ds Mark III raw files do show fine in the finder and in Quick Look.
Message was edited by: Jon Roemer

I have the same exact issue.
I do get the same error with 1Ds MIII raws.
Also the G9 raws are not working.
Finally after 3 months it's still not working
I could imagine that there is the need to edit some property file (like I have read before in the forum somewere) to add the new cameras to the list of supported cameras.
Are the D3, D300 raws working?

Why do G3 raw files show as "Unsupported Image Format" in Aperture?

I am moving towards shooting in raw, and as an experiment I imported some sample raw files from the publicly available text images on the Photography Blog. When I try to look at these images, I get a black screen with a warning triangle and the message "Unsupported Image Format". This happens for all the different raws, including some G3 raw files (.rw2). Oddly, it can read the EXIF metadata and has all the information about shooting settings etc. If I import the same files into iPhoto, it displays the images properly and allows editing, etc.
I have a workaround, which I've also tried with my Fuji X10 raws (still not supported on MacOSX), of running them through the Adobe DNG converter, and then looking at the dng files which seem to work fine. But it's a pain.
This has to be one of those simple "D'oh" things, but I can't see what I'm doing wrong!

Thanks Leonie, the second part revealed that I have been an idiot, although the behaviour is still surprising. The folder has a mix of DMC-G3 raws, Fuji X10 raws, and DNG files produced from both. For the Fuji X10 files, the DNGs produce images and the raws produce the "Unsupported file format" message. The latter is not surprising, the former a little surprising (as I've heard that DNGs only work when the associated raw works). The last two remarks don't directly address my problem (or perceived problem), but they perhaps set the frame for my expectations.
For the G3 files, when I look at it more closely, the G3 raws DO display correctly, while the G3 DNGs give "Unsupported file format". I had managed to fool myself into thinking it was the other way round (Aperture does rather hide the full file name).
So I was completely wrong, Aperture does support DMC-G3 raw, it's just it's DNG support that's a bit weird. However, it's on my side if I need to use X10 raws (via the DNG step). In fact so far I've given up the latter, as the noise levels are so much greater than in Fuji's in-camera JPEG conversion.
So, thanks very much for your help. Now I remember the first rule of system support: never trust what the customer tells you! (I know you're not really customer support, but I guess the same rule applies.) Thanks again

How to update my photoshop cs5 for nikon d4s ? I have been try to download camera raw 8.4 8.5 and 8.6 but all did not working.

I just trying to search app for my nikon d4s for photoshop cs5. And I trying to download the camera raw 8.4, 8.5 and 8.6 but no one was success. Any body can help ? I am use window 7 on my desktop.

there is no such thing. Camera Raw is specific to certain versions of PS. 8.x will never work in CS5. you need to update your software or settle on using the DNG converter.

PS CS3, Camera Raw 4.6 Update and Nikon D810 NEF File Reading Issue

Currently Have Photoshop CS3 & Adobe Bridge CS3 2.1.1.9.
According to Adobe, Camera Raw 4.6 supports Nikon D810 NEF files. I have downloaded Camera Raw 4.6 Update. When
I try to open Nikon D810 NEF files, I get Photoshop CS3 error that says
"cannot complete request your because it is not the right kind of
document. These NEF files wont open in Adobe Bridge at all. What am I doing wrong?

Hey,
Before I purchased, let me get your thoughts on another option that just occurred to me which involves:
1)Editing my D810 NEF files in LR 5.6, which I have, then exporting/saving the edited files as JPEGs.
2) Doing any additional editing, as necessary (i.e. that might require layering or selections..etc) , with the JPEGs with Bridge or PS CS3.
This method wont involve any additional software purchase now.. right? Am I missing anything. here? Since my final output to my customers are JPEGs any way, wont this work? Will I be at any disadvantage. Am I missing anything. here?

Does camera raw support the Nikon D5300, if not when there will be an update for this camera model?

Does camera raw support the Nikon D5300, if not when there will be an update for this camera model?

The asterisk next the model number on the download page linked above means there is preliminary support, which usually means the camera is supported by pretending it is an earlier model with similar sensor. This can lead to color issues, so while you can convert your NEFs to DNGs with the DNG Converter, and open them with PSE12, now, save your NEFs and be prepared to revisit those pictures once the final release of ACR 8.3 occurs probably in the next few weeks, with finalized support.

Camera Raw support for new Nikon D810

Hi, could you please advise when we can expect to see camera raw support for the new nikon D810.
Thanks

Adriana – I installed the download from the link in the 7/27 post and was able to convert my NEF files to DNG format from my new D810 camera, but could not view/edit the NEF-smalls. When I saw your latest post I used your link to go to that download and noticed that in the description it mentioned that the issues with the D810 NEF-small have been resolved. I deleted/emptied trash of the 7/27 download and re-installed the one mentioned from your link – although they were both identical in file size and version: 8.6 – hmm? I tried the converter – but nothing new was converted (I presume because all had already been converted before?). However, CS6 is still not able to open/edit neither the NEF-small file formats, nor the DNG created from it. I am thinking maybe I am missing a step, because when I select properties for Camera Raw in CS6, the version is 8.5.0.236 – is that ok (my CS6 version is 13.0.6 – and no other updates appear available)? I only downloaded the DNGConverter_8_6.dmg; installed the .pkg – did I forget a step? Thanks for your help!

You'll need to update to at least ACR 8.2 for the 70D to be recognized. The normal way to update PSE12 to the latest CR is to use Help / Updates in the Editor which should update to ACR 8.5.
According to Adobe's website PSE12 shipped with ACR 8.1 and you say it says yours is reported as ACR 8.0.
Are you using PSE 11 and not 12? PSE 11's maximum ACR version is 8.0.
