Camera Raw Version 5.7 and Nikon D800E

Hi everyone,  So with my new Nikon camera (D800E), I now realize that I can do nothing in CS4 with my RAW files. As my current version of Camera Raw is only 5.7 for it. Will I have to upgrade my version to at least CS5 with ACR 6.7 minimum? Maybe go with CS6?  Regards,  Jason Gaughan

The reason you can’t read the D800E raws in an old ACR plug-in is because that old ACR plug-in doesn’t know the camera parameters that are embedded in the raw converter.  What the DNG Converter does is takes the original raw data and adds the Adobe-camera parameters and packages everything in a DNG file per the DNG standard.  That DNG contains the raw data plus enough information for older ACR plug-ins to convert the data, as long as you set the compatibility options in the DNG Converter to create the DNG for that age of plug-in.
If you don’t delete your original files, then yes, the DNG Converter will create files that are also relatively similar in size to the NEFs, although they could be smaller or larger depending on what size of preview you embed an if the NEF compression is better than the DNG compression.
Lightroom is good.  Check out the LR 5.2 update and run in 30-day trial mode to make sure it is compatible with your computer.  http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/
You can always do Edit in Elements with LR Adjustments from within LR to get the file over into PSE for the final edits.

  • 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?

  • Camera Raw in PSE11 does not support Nikon D610 NEF; all software updates done accomplished - which Camera Raw version to download and where to find?

    Hi,
    Just bought a new camera (Nikon D610) and found out that Camera Raw in Photoshop Elements 11 does not support the RAW (NEF) files. Works fine with the Nikon D5200. PSE11 states that it's up to date. Support documents on Adope Website do not help at all. Some say the D610 is supported other say it's not. If I have to update Camera Raw, which version do I have to use for PSE11? Where can I find the download file?
    I find it somehow strange, that it's not possible to contact the support in a common way, but have to use this Adobe Community. Anyway, if it works... :-)
    Would be great, if someone could give me a hint, how to solve the problem.
    Best Regards,
    Boris

    Just got the new PSE12 and found out that Camera Raw 8.4 plug in can not be installed, if the system runs on Vista!
    So I got a new Nikon camera, new software (which can not be send back) and it looks like that I will need new system software and probably a new PC... :-(

  • My copy of elements 12 has camera raw version 8.0 and I need 8.1 to open my camera's files.  What can I do?

    My copy of elements 12 has version 8.0 of camera raw and I need version 8.1 in order to open my camera's files.  What can I do?

    I think there were two shipped versions of PSE12, one with ACR8.0 and the other with ACR8.1 - possibly country specific.

    You were probably using the Release Candidate version of camera raw 8.7, which one gets from Adobe Labs.

  • Photoshop Camera Raw Version to Process Nikon 1AW1 NEF Files

    I am currently running Photoshop CS6 for Macintosh version 13.0.4 and Camera RAW version 7.4.0.137 and cannot process the raw (NEF) files produced by the new Nikon 1AW1 camera.  I have shot test photos with the camera prior to purchase, but can't process the NEF files.  Does a Camera Raw plug-in that will work with this camera exist?  If not, when will the appropriate plug-in be available?

    The Nikon 1 AW1 is not yet supported by Adobe Camera Raw (ACR).
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    Adobe never comments on future camera support in ACR but ACR is updated every few months as new cameras come on to the market.
    You'll have to use the import software provided by Nikon for now.

  • My Camera Raw version is not compatible with my Nikon Camera?

    Hi,
    I have photoshop 5.1 and I am trying to open RAW files from my NIKON D600. When I try and do this it gives me the following message...Could not complete your request because the file appears to be from a camera model which is not supported by your version of Camera Raw.
    How do i update my Camera Raw plug in?
    Thanks,

    ...or go for another non-Adobe RAW converter, your choice. The DNG converter is probably the easier if you already have it and have used it.  The downside is that the converter is just that a converter into DNG with no manipulation of the RAW file via an external XMP so all the manipulation will need to be done in PS5.1, the RAW processor in the current Adobe Camera RAW is fairly advanced and much can be done outside of PS.  An alternative might be to look at Lightroom instead of using PS 5.1 but the processed files (which are the unadulterated original NEF coupled with a sidecar XMP) would not be compatible with 5.1 if you want to process further in PS (as the current LR is compatible with the current PSCC).

  • Camera Raw Versions and PSE Versions

    On my Windows 7 PC, I have installed (and have a license for) among other both PSE V10 and PSE V12.  On my PC, when editing a Nikon NEF File, PSE V10 uses Camera Raw 6.4.1 and PSE V12 uses Camera Raw 8.2.
    Since on my C Disk I see only one copy of a Folder named "NIKON D5000" (this folder is in C:\ProgramData\Adobe\CameraRaw\Camera Profiles\Camera ), I have the impression that both the versions 6.4.1 and the Version 8.2 of Camera RAW share the identical Camera Profiles.   Is that impression/guess correct?
    Question 1: Can I conclude, that (since both Camera Raw Version share the same Camera Profile folders), if I will buy a Nikon D5300 (which officially gets supported only by Camera Raw 8.n (n being probably equal or higher than 3)), that once  Camera Raw 8.n (n=> 3) will be installed on my PC (because this will be the Camera Raw Version supported/used by PSE V12), I will  be able to process my future D5300 Nef Files both with the combination of PSE V10 and Camera Raw 6.4.1 and the combination of PSE V12 and Camera Raw 8.n (even though officially, Camera RAW 6.4.1 does not support the D5300)? Thank You very much in advance for your answer.
    Question 2: Can somebody point me to a downloadable  NEF file shot by the Nikon D7100?
    I will then download that NEF file and see whether I can process it with the combination of PSE V10 and Camera Raw 6.4.1. This will allow me to verify the answer to question 1. Thank You very much in advance for your answer

    Since I am probably not the only one on these forums who do not understand well (or who is/was not even aware of) the Adobe DNG converter,  I would like to add the following:
    Yes, 99jon is totally correct: a NEF File from the Nikon D7100 will not open with PSE V10 and with ACR6.4.
    ...But: a couple of days ago, I realized that I could use the latest versions of the free downloadable Adobe DNG Converter (which supports among other Nikon D7100 NEF and the RAW Files of most modern cameras) to convert the D7100 .NEF files into DNG Files. To perform such a conversion, I started the DNG Converter, identified the windows folder containg the NIKON D7100 NEF Files, provided a couple of options and then let the DNG Converter convert the NIKON D7100  NEF Files into .dng files.
    Once done, I imported the .dng files into PSE V10,...and could edit them without problems with the combination of PSE V10 and ACR 6.4. Even if I am not a specialist and might be wrong: I did not came across any limitation for the ACR editing of the NIKON D7100 .dng files that was problematic for my purposes (ACR even supported multiple "Camera Profiles" for the D7100!). I am more than happy!
    To summarize: if making a small détour via the DNG Converter,  it becomes possible to edit with the combination of old PSE Versions and old ACR Versions the "DNG versions" of RAW Files shot with new cameras (like for example the NIKON D7100)..

  • My student has been using Lightroom 4 with Photoshop CS5 on her Mac for well over a year. Because of the difference between the Camera raw version available to her in Photoshop CS5 and the raw process in Lightroom 4, she has been exporting her raw images

    Any ideas?

    My student has been using Lightroom 4 with Photoshop CS5 on her Mac for well over a year. Because of the difference between the Camera raw version available to her in Photoshop CS5 and the raw process in Lightroom 4, she has been exporting her raw images from Lightroom and choosing the "Render using Lightroom option when it popped up in the dialogue box. She has been doing this for over a year and a half without any problem. Today when she hit Command E no dialogue box appeared and the image just opened in Photoshop. I'm concerned that all of her Lightroom edits are not being rendered to Photoshop. Anyone have an idea as to how we can get the "Render using Lightroom" dialogue back?

  • Photoshop Elements 6.0 and Camera Raw Version Question

    I have been using Photoshop Elements 6.0 and it's does what I need to do.
    Revcently we bought two new cameras and the Camera Raw version 5.6 that we have installed does not support these new cameras.
    The Camera Raw list says that I need Camera Raw 6.2 for the one and 6.3 for the other (so 6.3).  But as far as I can understand, PE 6.0 will only support up to Camera Raw 5.6.
    And to support 6.3, I'd need a minimum of PE 8.0.
    Am I correct?
    Thanks

    Download and install the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your raw files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the files will open in all versions of PSE (keep your original raw files as backups and for use in the manufacturers software)
    Windows download click here DNG Converter 7.2
    Mac download click here DNG Converter 7.2
    You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

  • CS5 and Lightroom 4-different camera raw versions

    Lightroom 4 has a camer raw version 7 and my CS5 has 6.7? Trying to figure out the easiest way to get them both to be 6.6 which appears to be the latest versions and I have no idea how I got the versions I have. When converting from lightroom to CS5 the photo don't look the same and I assume this is the reason why. So, what do I need to delete to get these versions the same?

    The ACR 6.7 is a beta which should be superceeded by the final relase soon. In terms of LR4 yes it's based on ACR 7 from the upcoming Photoshop CS6 (whose beta is out) but there is no way to back LR4's version down...
    When opening from LR4 into Photoshop CS5 you should select the option to Render in Lightroom. That will have LR4 correctly render the image into Photoshop.
