Can't preview .nef in Window or Bridge

I bought a computer with XP pro. Now I can't preview .nef file any more. Both in Window & Bridge. What am I doing wrong ?
Thanks,
Ron

Could be you need another ACR version [newer cams aren't supported by
older ones].
Cannot remember ATM, but do we need Nikon's codec installed to see
NEFs? I don't think so, just a notion.

  • I can't see NEF files in Adobe Bridge

    My Bridge doesn't show my nef files (taken by both d40x and d700). The thumbnails in Adobe Bridge S3 show the icon Nef but they don't show the image. I can't see the images in raw. If I click on the icons 'camera raw' opens and I can develop the nef files. I'd like to see the previews instead. I've downloaded the latest camera raw (4.6) and manually installed it but it doesn't work. The camera raw instructions say to install it in:
    Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS3\File Formats
    but I have this directory instead:
    Adobe\AdobeBridgeCS3\plug-ins
    Who can help me?!
    Thank you!

    Yes, it must be in a location above and nowhere else.  Only one version is allowed in this directory.

  • Can't preview NEF files in Bridge to see/sort/rate

    I've purchased CS6 and cannot view my new nikon d800 NEF files in Bridge.  I can see them in Lightroom, but have always used bridge to sort/rate my images before importing them.

    Update Camera Raw to 7.4.

  • 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 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.

  • I can't open CS5 in windows 7 it tells me "Programm is locked or you are not legitimated". Bridge and Camera draw are working ok

    I can't open CS5 in Windows 7. It tells me "application is locked or you don't have legitimation". Bridge and Camera Raw are OK.

    Hi,
         thank you for your answer.
         The original Text photoshop showing me is the following:
         Konnte ein Arbeitsvolumen nicht öffnen, weil die Datei gesperrt ist
    oder Sie keine ausreichende Berechtigung haben. Heben Sie den Schutz
    der Datei mit Hilfe des Befehls 'Eigenschaften' im Windows Explorer
    auf.
         Sorry I can tell you this only in German. 
         After Installation the Version 64 Bit couldn't work because of this
    sentence (Windows 7 has 64 Bit Version). The 32 Bit Version worked
    without problems. The next day both versions didn't work because of
    this Informatiom. Bridge and Camera raw workinjg perfect but photoshop
    (CS 5) is blocked.

  • Can't preview RAW files in Bridge CC, administrator issue?

    Can't preview RAW files in Bridge CC.
    When i try to upate Bridge, it says:
    Bridge is unable to check for updates, cause it can't connect to the internet or user is logged in as a non-administrative user.
    So then i have to log in as a administrative user to the Bridge...and update..
    Can't it be done easier???
    I must also say i have also Bridge CS6 installed on pc and there everything is working fine.
    Thx.

    1/ Adobe Bridge should be possible to open without administrator issue.
    By default it does, something seems wrong with your install
    2/the images DO appear first for 2 or 3 seconds , then it turns to a RAW file icon.
    Again indicating a wrong install, you see the embedded jpeg previews briefly but then the Raw thumbs should be build. When you see the generic Raw icon this means you don't have the correct version of the ACR plug in installed to match your camera or no converter at all.
    Try this page:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    3/i only succeed in openening Bridge descently , so with ableing to see RAW files , WHEN i go to c:/progamfiles/Adobe/AdobeBridhecc/Bridge.exe
    When, If i copy the exe file for opening Bridge CC and i put it on the Desktop, it DOES NOT Preview the RAW files.
    Here you have lost me. As a Mac user I'm afraid I don't know nor understand anything about .exe, I download the .dmg file for an application which then automatically opens and I just click on the install icon, provide admin password and serial number once and then start using it without bothering about install ever again

  • New Nikon D3100... Can't view NEF files in Bridge?!

    Hi guys,
    I have just purchased a Nikon D3100, taken some snaps and tried to view them using Adobe Bridge.
    Unfortunately I only get the NEF icon and when I try to open in Photoshop the file is not recognised.
    I have attempted to follow numerous discussions and help topics to be able to view my photos but none have seemed to have worked and now Im sure I have files/folders in the wrong place or deleted!!! It is incredibly fustrating!!!
    I am an amateur running CS4 and would really appreciate if someone could help me view my photos?
    Jim

    I believe your camera was released after Photoshop CS5, which means you will need that version of Photoshop for direct support of your raw files.  However, if you download the current version of the DNG converter you can convert your NEF to DNG files.  Then you will be able to open the raw image data with your version of Photoshop/ACR.

  • How  can I see the previews of my D610 in bridge cs5 and how can I open them in my CC photoshop?

    How  can I see the previews of my D610 in bridge cs5 and how can I open them in my CC photoshop?

    Nah. Raw support is version specific and that extends to Bridge as well. Older versions simply won't handle new cameras. If this is important to you, you will have to use Bridge CC.

  • Can't export NEF files with sidecar so it opens in Bridge

    Hi there,
    I've been able to do it in the past, as I can  look at previous images in the Bridge and view them as NEF files with the sidecar so the edits are written on the files and it also includes all the metadata.
    But for the lastest new set of images (of a friend's wedding :/ ) I'm struggling to export them so I can view them in Bridge.  They will export, the sidecar is also there, but when I open in Bridge, it doesn't open them, and no metadata is saved to the file.  I'm not sure if I've forgotten to do something or if I have to start all over again, and there's an issue with the Catalogue/Collection that I might or might not have set up when I first imported them (I didn't set one up to start with, but when I was having issues exporting them, I did create a collection and set and they're sitting in there now).
    Can anyone help?

    I've just tried exporting is as a DNG (I didn't want to roiginally do that as I wanted to avoid converting the images where possible), but I've just done it and they're now openable in Bridge, so hurrah.
    Decision made.  DNG is it for all files going forward.

  • Viewing .nef files I can no longer view my nikon .nef files in adobe bridge.

    Please help. I used to be able to view .NEF files in Adobe Bridge but now they do not open. I tried to open them in PS by double-clicking but I get the message.....could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document.

    As a start you should update your profile it still says you are using 10.6.1 and including the Aperture version would be a good thing also. So have you upgraded to 3.2.1 yet?  If not you should.
    As a start you should look at Aperture 3: Troubleshooting Basics and see i that helps.

  • Can't view NEF thumbnails or pictures

    Hi everyone =)
    I am using Adobe Photoshop CS6 version 13.0.6 with Camera Raw 8.8.0.397 and Adobe Bridge CS6 version 5.0.2.4 all on OS X Yosemite 10.10.2.
    My NEF files (thumbnails & picture) taken with my Nikon D5300 and stored on an external drive (where I can easily preview them outside of Bridge) won't load on Bridge.
    I want to see them in Bridge to tag them with keywords!
    Could you help me with this issue? What should I do?
    Best,
    Charly

    Yes, I can see them (jpg and NEF) in Finder.
    I have my pictures organized in folders by year ("2013", "2014", "2015") and then in subfolders by country, and then in sub sub folders by day or event. Which folders do I need to purge? I did my general pictures folder (that contains the "year" folders) and I did the individual "year" folders too. I didn't do the country and day folders because that would be a ridiculous amount of work.
    I did what you suggested but it didn't change anything:
    - I can see the jpg files from previous years that I've always seen in Bridge and never had a problem with so far.
    - But I can't see the NEF files or jpg files (recent files) I've converted from NEF to jpg. Even after purging the cache.
    Is it because all of my pictures sit in an external drive?
    Any other suggestions?

  • Can't view Powerpoint 2007 thumbnails in Bridge CS5 (Win 7)

    I can view 2003 (win) files (saved from Powerpoint 2007) as thumnails in Bridge, but thumbs for 2007 files (*.pptx) are not generated.
    Any ideas?
    Windows 7
    Bridge CS5.5 (4.1.0.54)

    I have seen screenshots with PPTX thumbnails visible. I believe these Bridge thumbnails appear on WinXP installs so I'm thinking there is a Win7 aspect to this...
    Using a Mac with CS6 I tried a pps, ppt and a pptx file and all of them only show as Powerpoint icon and none have a thumbnail with preview of the content.
    Also tried it with Apple Keynote, the Mac PP equivalent and here I checked the option to include a preview of the file but same result, just an icon of Keynote application.
    Looking at the file type associations their is neither support for Powerpoint not Keynote so it does not seem possible.
    The screenshot from your memory is probably manipulated or you suffer from good memory like we all seem to do every now and then...

  • How do I make previews (not thumbnails) larger in Bridge?

    How do I make previews (not thumbnails) larger in Bridge?

    I agree with Yammer.
    What I do is move my Preview panel to the middle (just drag and look for the "blue" placement cues) and have the Content Panel on my right. By dragging the size of your Bridge window or by dragging the panels separation regions left or right, you can increase the size of your Preview window to your satisfaction.
    I've no clue as to why Adobe chose the workspace they did.

  • Can't open NEF (Nikon Raw) photos in CS2

    Using CS2 on a Power Mac G5, running 10.5.8 with plenty of ram. Photos taken on a Nikon D700 in Raw format and transferred directly from camera to computer using Nikon Transfer. When I try to open a photo marked NEF in Photoshop's Bridge, I get a message that " Could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file".
    Next, I downloaded Camera Raw 3.7 from Adobe's website and when I click on the icon in my applications folder, I get that same message : "Could not complete your request..."
    The only way I can view and work on my raw photos is to convert them to tiffs or jpegs in my Nikon View NX program; But I want to process them in the raw convertor.
    Help!!
    Bob S

    You'll need to covert the NEF to DNG to open in Camera Raw. CS2 will never support the D700.
