Can't Open NEF RAW files in PSE 6

I cannot open NEF RAW files in PSE 6. I downloaded the plugin but that didn't fix it. Any suggestions?

There is another choice.
You can download the free Adobe DNG Converter, then convert your RAWs to DNG, and then open them in the PSE6 Adobe Camera Raw editor. This doesn't require you updating your software to PSE9, or purchasing anything.

  • Can't open NEF raw files in Elements 12.1 from my Nikon D610.

    I have the trial version of Elements 12 and updateed to 12.1. The Camera Raw version is 8.4 and I'm running a Windows 7 computer. Then I try to open NEF files do I get the error message that my Camera is not supported. I tried to install the DNG converter ver 8.3 but that dosen't recognize the NEF files either. Elements opens the NEF files from my Nikon D5100 without problems and so does the DNG converter. I have tried both 12 bit and 14 bit NEF files from the D610 with no luck.
    As I understand it so should Elements 12 with Camera Raw 8.4 support Nikon D610. I hope I get get this to work so that I can update to ver 12 from ver 9 that I use today.
    Best regards

    Yes I used Nikon Transfer NX that came with my Nikon D5100. I downloaded the NEF file directly from the SD card to my hard drive and now can I open the NEF file in Elements. I guess I need to update Nikon Transfer NX with the version I got with the D610.
    Thanks 99jon for the quick reply and for solving my problem

  • Can't open NEF raw Files in Elements

    I have downloaded the plug in 4.6 but elements won't update the plug in on my Imac. What am I doing wrong?

    What model camera?
    What version of Elements?
    ACR 5.4 is the latest version of Camera RAW released last week, so if you
    have a newish camera you'll need that version.  ACR 5.x works with PSE 6 and
    PSE 7.

  • How to open NEF(RAW) files transferred from old computer.

    I have Elements 10 with latest updates on a new computer(Windows 7). I transferred my picture files from my old computer (XP) that were in My Pictures. Old computer had Elements 3. I can't seem to open NEF files in Elemnets 10. On old computer I was able to highlight a NEF file and then select Open with Elements. I don't see that option with WINDOWS 7. How can I open NEF(RAW) files. Also the thumbnails of the transferred files are not created in Elements 10 organizer. How can I accomplish that?

    Hi,
    For opening the NEF files you could try the suggestions in this thread
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/929848?tstart=0
    Thumbnails not created: Do you mean there are no thumbnails or just big question marks?
    Does the organizer show a count of items in the bottom left of the window?

  • I have Photoshop CS5 and a Nikon D 810 camera.  I have downloaded Camera Raw 8.8 & DNG converter.  I can neither open the raw files (.nef), nor process them with the DNG converter. What is going wrong?

    This is the last paragraph from my very first response to you, post #1 in this thread:
    …Additionally, you need to install the DNG Converter, not just "download" it, and you need to launch it and run it on each folder of NEFs you wish to convert to raw DNGs.  [emphasis added]

  • .NEF RAW file in PSE 11 will directly open in the edit modus

    When I open a .NEF RAW file in PSE 11 it will directly open in the edit modus and skip the RAW editing window what is what I do not want. How to affoid this?

  • Nikon D800 can't open all RAW-files ending .NEF

    Got a Nikon D800 and can't open all RAW-files ending .NEF Most of them no problem, but some I just can't.
    "Could not complete your request because the file appears to be from a camera model" Thats not wight cause I can open like 90% of my .NEF files :/
    Got latest Camera Raw (6.7)..Help please:/

    Because many of the camera makers slightly alter their versions of their raw format whenever they release a new camera model.
    Nikon does it, Canon does it, and also several other camera makers.
    There is not a single version of NEF that all Nikon cameras use, nor a single version of CR2 for all Canon models.
    Here is a list of supported cameras and the required ACR plugin needed to open the raw files.
    Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    Versions of ACR are specific to each version of Photoshop.
    Older versions of PS cannot use the latest version of ACR.
    You need to download the latest version of Adobe DNG Converter.
    This will convert your newer D800 files to DNGs that can then be opened in older versions like CS5.
    Be aware DNG only works on folders of files, not individual files. Select the FOLDER not a single file

  • Cant open nef raw file in photoshop elements 9?

    i have photoshop elemets 9
    i have a nikon d5200
    and i have problems opening nef raw file. this is the message i get.
    i have tried all updating procedures.useless.i am upto date.i opened file as a raw nef file and i get this message:

    For the D5200 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:

  • I can't open the RAW files from my new Nikon D610 in PSE10. Any help for this?

    I recently purchased a Nikon D610.  I have PSE 10.  I can't open my RAW files now and I always shoot in RAW.  I've tried everything, but still can't open m,y files in the RAW format.  Any help??????

    Your most direct choices are:
    1)      Use the free Adobe DNG Converter 8.3 to create Adobe-DNG raws from your Nikon D610 NEF raws.  These DNGs will open in your older Elements Camera Raw plug-in.  Be sure to set the ACR compatibly options in the DNGC to support whatever version of ACR you’re using.
    2)      Buy PSE12, and first download the trial version to make sure your computer can run it properly.
    Adobe only adds new camera support to whatever the current versions of their software, and PSE12 was the current version of Elements when the D610 support was added.   PSE10 won’t be updated.
    Also be sure that you are NOT using the old Nikon Transfer or ViewNX with your new Nikon camera.  These older versions of Nikon products change something in the metadata of new camera NEFs that makes them unrecognizable to Adobe software.

  • Just bought Nikon D600, can't open the raw file from my Photoshop element 9, please adivise.  Thanks

    Can't open the raw file in my Photoshop Element 9 from my new Nikon D600, please help. many thanks
    Brian

    Hi,
    The D600 requires camera raw version 7.3 or later - that is not compatible with Photoshop Elements 9.
    You need to either
    1) upgrade to Photoshop Elements 11 or 12
    or
    2) you can download the free Adobe DNG converter to convert you NEF files to DNG files and then PSE 9 can read the DNG files
    The latest version of the DNG converter that you can use will depend on your operating system.
    For XP or Vista :
    DNG Converter 8.3
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5694
    For Windows 7 or 8
    Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Windows : Adobe DNG Converter 8.5
    For Mac
    Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Macintosh : Adobe DNG Converter 8.5

  • I can't open the RAW files from my new Nikon D4s camera in photoshop? How do I download the latest software for RAW files?

    I can't open the RAW files from my new Nikon D4s camera in photoshop? How do I download the latest software for RAW files? Cheers!

    What version of Photoshop are you running?  You will need at CS5, CS6, CC or CC2014.  Each version needs a different ACR-plug-in to open files from that camera.
    If you are on CS4 or earlier, you'll need to upgrade—or, in the alternative; look for, download, instal, launch and run the free, stand-alone DNG Converter 8.6 on each file of raw NEF files to convert them to raw DNGs first so you can open them in your version of Photoshop and ACR plug-in higher than 2.4.

  • Why i can't open my raw file in adobe photoshop cs6... and i use camera Canon 650D

    why i can't open my raw file?

    You probably need to update your Camera Raw plug-in for CS6 to something new enough to understand the 650D raw files.
    The usual way you’d do this would be Help / Updates in PS.

  • Just upgraded to 10.8.4 and now can't open canon raw files in photoshop cs5 with camera raw plug in 6.7

    i've just upgraded to os 10.8.4 and now i can't open canon raw files in photoshop cs5 with camera raw plug in 6.7 which worked perfectly prior to the upgrade....anyone else encountered this issue?

    Adobe's software is a mess in terms of the fact that it's sprayed all over the place and may not survive an OS upgrade.  Try reinstalling Photoshop CS5.
