Can't open NEF files in PS4 on my iMac.

What do I do?

First, understand that all raw images with NEF extension are not the same.  The specific camera model matters.
Then visit this page to find out what minimum version of Camera Raw is needed to support your specific camera model:

Then visit this page to find out what version of Photoshop that version of Camera Raw works with.

You will either need to update Camera Raw to the latest version that your copy of Photoshop supports (for example, through Help - Updates in Photoshop) -OR- you'll either want to upgrade Photoshop or investigate the use of the free DNG converter.

  • I'm going back to cs4 after using cs6 and I can't open nef files in camera raw.

    I'm going back to cs4 after using cs6 and I can't open nef files in camera raw.

    Each camera needs a specific camera raw version (ACR).  And each ACR is tied to a specific version of PS.  See this list http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html

  • I can't open NEF files of my Nikon D800 in PS CS 5.1 even though I have installed Camera Raw 6.7

    I can't open NEF files of my Nikon D800 in PS CS 5.1 even though I have installed Camera Raw 6.7.
    What's the problem?
    Any solutions?
    Thx!

    The D800 is listed as needing ACR 6.7/7.1.  That raises a red flag that might indicate that 7.1 is needed.  Since that requires CS6 you can not use that version.  If others confirm you need 7.1 you either have to upgrade or use the DNG converter with latest version, which I think is 8.1.

    For the D600 NEF's you have two alternatives: (1) Upgrade to PSE 11. (2) 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 originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software)  Windows download click here DNG Converter 7.3  Mac download click here DNG Converter 7.3  You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial: You Tube click here for DNG Converter tutorial

  • Can't open NEF files in Adobe Bridge CS4

    My camera is a Nikon D90 and I downloaded the Camera Raw.plugin Version 5.2. to open NEF files in Photoshop and Bridge from the CS4 collection. It works perfectly to open NEF files in Photohop but Bridge is not able to show the files. I cleared the cache already.
    Does anybody know, what the problem could be?
    Thanks for your help!

    Maybe the plugin is in the wrong folder? It should be in the Common Files/Adobe folder tree, rather than the Adobe/Photoshop CS4 folder tree (where only Photoshop can see it). Also, make sure there's only one Camera Raw.8bi installed.

  • Can't open .NEF files in photoshop or RAW. Help!

    I was always able to open .NEF files in RAW when I had my old computer, but I just recently got a new computer and now I can't open them. Does anyone know how to change the settings so that I'm able to open these files in photoshop CS5 Extended/RAW?

    Try installing Camera Raw 6.7.1 manually

  • Can't open NEF files from Nikon D90 in CS4.

    I had to uninstall and reinstall PS CS4, now I am unable to open my NEF files. I've used CS4 for years and always been able to open NEF files. Any idea what is going on? Any suggestion? I'm computer illiterate so please keep any answers as simple as possible. Thanks

    So your Camera Raw is not up-to-date.
    The Nikon D90 was first supported in Camera Raw 5.1
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    and CS4 is compatible with Camera Raw up to version 5.7

    If Help > Updates in CS4 still says you're up-to-date then try installing Camera Raw 5.7 manually

  • Can't open NEF file (Nikon Raw)

    I don't have a problem opening NEF files in CS3 on my desktop Vista PC (32bit), but my new laptop with Windows 7 (64bit) won't open them, do I need to install a plugin or an update?  If so, what?  I searched the forum and I think that's what I need to do, but I'm a little confused about it.
    Thanks,
    Ray

    You don't say which camera model. NEF files vary with different Nikons.
    The Camera Raw plug-in installed by default by PS may not be up to date.
    See: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/407/kb407111.html
    (Be aware that CS3 only supports up to ACR 4.6

  • Can't open .NEF files in Photoshop CS2

    Heres the deal: I've updated and installed my camera raw in Photoshop CS2, so I have the latest version of it (ACR 3.7). I still can not open my .NEF files in Photoshop and when I view the files from Bridge it shows the generic thumbnail image.
    Information that might help:
    PS Version: Photoshop CS2
    ACR Version: Camera Raw 3.7
    Camera: Nikon D60
    Operating Sys: Mac OSX
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    The D60 was not supported in ACR 3.7.  In fact, that version was the first to support the D40.  You will have to use the latest version of the DNG converter to convert your raw images to DNG.  Then you can open those files in ACR 3.7.

  • Can't Open .NEF Files In Camera Raw CS3 - Windows 7

    I have a Nikon D60, Windows 7 Professional (32bit) and  Web Premium CS3. 
    I recently upgraded from XP to Windows 7.
    I cannot get my Nikon's .NEF (Camera Raw) files to open when I select "Open in Camera Raw". I can see the .NEF thumbnails, but neither Photoshop or Bridge will open the files in Raw, you know where you can adjust all those killer settings non destructively.
    I had cs3 installed on an XP machine and my .NEF files worked perfectly in Raw.  Not so in Windows 7. I have tried to update to Camera Raw 5.6 but that wouldn't install. Is there an earlier version of CR that I can get and use, or any other advice would help.
    Thanks

    The last version of Camera Raw to work in Photoshop CS3 is version 4.6. If you HAD been able to open your D60 NEF files and now can not, then something changed...did you do a fresh install of CS3 under Win 7? If so you installed version 4.0 (what shipped with CS3). You'll need to go to the Camera Raw Updates for Windows and download an install version 4.6.

  • Lightroom 5.5 can't open nef files in photoshop cc 2014

    I have a subscription to both Lightroom 5.5 and Photoshop CC 2014 through the Cloud.
    Today I attempted to open a .nef file from Lightroom in Photoshop by the usual method of right-clicking on the file in Lightroom and selecting Edit In> Edit in Adobe Photoshop CC 2014.
    After doing this Photoshop opens but then nothing happens, the file doesn't open as it used to in Photoshop CC previous to the upgrade to Photoshop CC 2014.
    I've re-booted my Windows 7 computer and tried again and still none of my .nef files will open in Photoshop.
    Can you offer a solution to my problem?
    Regards,
    Richard Allen

  • Can't open NEF files in Lightroom...why?????

    I recently replaced my Canon with a Nikon D5000.
    First test of taking photos and I could not upload the RAW (nef) files to my computer--either directly into my pictures or into lightroom.  Figured that out by downloading the NEF Codec, which allowed me to view my photos on my computer as thumbnails, attempts to open said Windows does not recognize this file.  Okay.  So, double-clicked an image, took me Lightroom and I selected "import" to be given the "this file is unsupported or damaged."  I have tried EVERRYTHING I can think of, cannot get these files to open.  I will say I am fairly new to using Lightroom beyond the basics, but I had no problem importing RAW files from my canon.
    Is there some sort of setting I need to change to allow these files to be opened in lightroom???  I tried copying from file and copying as a DNG--neither worked.
    Help would be appreciated very much!!  I have spent the past two hours in frustration trying to figure this out, no one seems to have a clue.

    And your version of LR is ...?
    LR supports the D5000 in the latest v2.5, AFAIK.

  • Can't Open NEF files in CS5

    I am currently using the Nikon D3200 and I can't update my camera raw plug-in to 7.1 because I am using CS5. On the supported cameras page, (http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html) it says that I need 7.1 in order to open my NEF files, I am currently using 6.7.1... What can I do to edit my photos? (Apart from upgrading to another version of Photoshop)

    Download Adobe DNG Converter 8.5 for free. Check system requirements first, you might have to use an older version, like 8.3 if you're on XP or an old OSX.
    Install it and run it. Go into Preferences, look for Compatibility settings and change it to ACR 6.6 and later.
    Point it at a folder of D3200 NEFs and create DNG copies. You can open these copies in ACR 6.7.

  • Can't open nef files

    Hi,
    I am pretty new. On a trial version of Elements 7. When I try to open raw files from my Nikon ( NEF ), I get an error: "Could not complete your request because the file-format module cannot parse the file"
    I selected the type ( NEF ) in the open dialogue box.
    I am hesitant to buy the real version if this is going to be a problem. I'm not sure if the trial version has some limitations or not.
    Any help is appreciated.
