Trying to convert NEF photos to JPEG photos can it be done in pse12 and if so how?

trying to convert NEF files to JPEG files in pse12 can it be done and if so how?

Hi,
Both of those cameras should be supported by PSE 12.
Just open the NEF file in the editor. It will first load the camera raw where you can do some adjustment.
When satisfied, make sure that the bit depth option is set to 8 bits/channel (bottom middle of camera raw window).
Click on Open Image to open the image in the main editor window.
Make any further adjustments you want to and then go to the File menu and select Save As
Change the format to JPEG, change the name if you want to and then click on Save.
You can adjust the quality on the next box (higher quality = larger file)
If you get a message about unsupported file format, it could be that you have use the old Nikon transfer program to copy the images from the card to your hard drive. This is knoow to cause corruption. See the following for a tool to correct the files.

How to keep Date created and Date modified when converting nef to dng

Hi
I noticed that when we convert NEF files to DNG in it properties the Date Created and Date Modifed are changed to the present date and not the original dates of the files in question. Is there any way to make such a conversion without changing these proeprties? Yes, I know 'Date taken' does not change--but this info does not show up when you hover a file only the info in its properties does hence me asking the question.
Also am I correct in assuming that this conversion is 100% lossless, nothing but nothing is lost in the qualtiy and info of the file (besides the file size)? Thank you
OS: Windows 7 (64)

A DNG from an NEF is a new file so it’s Windows dates are as of its creation on Windows. The date modified would further change if you updated the DNG with a new preview and/or embedded metadata into it.
If you need the files to have the camera’s creation date, then use Windows Explorer to copy them, don’t convert to DNG, and just Add them to your LR catalog, and tell LR not to add a timezone or otherwise adjust the timestamps which might also update the file modification time.

Any benefit to convert NEF to DNG

Does anyone convert their NEF (D300 in my case) files to Adobe DNG and then start their workflow?
Or are the NEF's just imported into Aperture and then adjustments are made?
I use Aperture now for a long time. I usually just import the NEF files. I've been using Photoshop CS4 to learn it and have just been sending the NEF file within Aperture to Photoshop. And of course it comes back to Aperture as a PSD file.
I ask because Aperture has a tendency to lag making adjustments. But I noticed Aperture doesn't lag if I make adjustments on the PSD file or a DNG file. Adjustments are in real time.
So I'm thinking of converting my NEF's as the first step of my work flow. Then import the DNG's into Aperture.
I have all of the NIK Software and working with this in Photoshop is 1000% easier in Photoshop than Aperture.
I can't seem to tell any degrading of the NEF converted to DNG. I've done a few now and compare. I can't seem to tell. Pre or post adjustments made in Aperture.
Thanks for any thoughts or opinions.

DNG is just Adobe's proprietary attempt to sell the world on using Adobe's RAW conversion format ("DNG," the result of converting camera makers' individual RAW files using Adobe Camera Raw, "ACR"). Adobe benefited greatly with PDF and wants to do the same with RAW DSLR capture.
DNG is not better. In fact most folks (at least the ones not already sleeping with Adobe) will most often find conversions by Aperture and/or individual camera vendors' converters (like NX2) to be visually better than ACR to DNG. However differences among converters are usually slight enough anyway to make RAW-conversion quality irrelevant when compared to workflow.
The conversion of RAW data is different for each individual camera, no RAW converter is best for all cameras, and the results of conversion are a matter of individual taste in any event.
Note that most camera vendors keep RAW algorithms and protocols very secret, so folks like Adobe and Apple do a lot of deduction (some say speculation) when building each camera's RAW converter based on imperfect information. That is why most folks consider Nikon's conversions of NEF files "best;" but unfortunately Nikon's workflow is atrocious.
...is there any significant advantage to converting (to DNG)?
No, there is significant disadvantage in converting NEF to DNG. You would be seriously disrupting Aperture's workflow just to achieve what most folks consider to be less-good RAW conversions.
Some photogs do find significant advantage in first using NX2 to convert Nikon NEF files to TIFF. Others find the differences from Aperture small enough not to justify the weight of the NX2 workflow.
I read the Adobe site regarding how DNG is more a standard then NEF or any proprietary camera file.
That is just disgusting Adobe marketing BS. Nikon was around supporting standards like their lens mount for decades before Adobe even existed. Even if Nikon self-destructed today there will always be plenty of RAW converters for the billions of NEF files already created.
Of course Adobe would love it if the world lowered their standards to some Adobe-defined lowest common denominator, but then we would probably not see the various consistently fast tech advances like the low light performance of the Nikon D3.

Convert a Tiff Image to png and show

Hello;
I wanto to convert a Tif image to png and show this in my web page but i dont want to save the png iamge in my server.
Actualy i do that:
byte[] bytes = imagenData;
                ByteArraySeekableStream tiffStrm = new ByteArraySeekableStream(bytes);
                String[] CdcNms = ImageCodec.getDecoderNames(tiffStrm);
                ImageDecoder tifDecoder = ImageCodec.createImageDecoder(CdcNms[0], tiffStrm, new TIFFDecodeParam());
//                 Check the number of pages
                int IFDs = tifDecoder.getNumPages();
//                 Get the first page
                RenderedImage ren = tifDecoder.decodeAsRenderedImage(1);
                byte[] bytes2 = doSingleConversion(ren);AND
protected byte[] doSingleConversion(RenderedImage tifImage) throws Exception
          byte[] bytes = null;
          String out = "temp.png";
          try {
               //      Create the PNG file
               PNGEncodeParam pngParm = PNGEncodeParam.getDefaultEncodeParam(tifImage);
               JAI.create("filestore", tifImage, out, "PNG", pngParm);
               //Read the file into a byte array
               File f = new File(out);
               FileInputStream in = new FileInputStream(f);
               bytes = new byte[(int) f.length()];
               in.read(bytes);
               in.close();
               return bytes;
          catch(Exception e) {
               e.printStackTrace ();
               throw(e);
     }But this code save de image in the server; it�s posible do it without save.

Numbers the iWorks program? Not sure you can convert it to that or just a list of numbers. Never heard of anyone that would even want to convert an Image file, Photo, to any other format. Other then another image format like JPG, PNG or a PSD Photoshop file.

Can't convert NEF to RAW

I am trying to convert my NEF files using the DNG converter. When I open the converter and select the folder an error box comes up with:
'The sorce folder does not contain any supported camera raw files'
The files are indeed there, I have used the converter for a few years now and never encountered any problems like this. My camera is and has always been compatable with the software.
Can anyone provide any solutions?

I don't know if your camera was supported in Photoshop CS2. In order to convert to DNG it is first necessary to load the images into ACR and then use the "Save" option to create the DNG files. One other thing you might try is to open the folder of NEF files in Windows Explorer and highlight all of them and drag them onto the DNG Converter icon. That works for me in Windows. I know I doesn't work on the Mac. Anyway, give that a try and see if it works.

I edited a .nef file in Camera Raw and PSE 11 saved it as a .xmp file. I cannot open it now.

I edited a .nef file in Camera Raw and PSE 11 saved it as a .xmp file. I cannot open it now.
I am not sure if this is an issue but Windows does not recognize the .xmp file and give it an icon with the photo's picture. On a related note, when I edited some .nef files and Windows saved it as .dng file, it too, like the .xmp file, Windows does not recognize the .dng file and give it an icon with the photo's picture.
Do I need to download something to create this icon?

PSE didn't save your file as an .xmp file. The .xmp file is not the image--that's still the .nef. The xmp file is what adobe calls a 'sidecar' file, just a record of the settings you used in the raw converter. As long as it's in the same place as the image, when you open the nef in ACR again, it will open where you left off, with the settings you chose.
If you want to save as, you have two choices:
1. Click the Open button in the raw converter window and save in the image format of your choice.
2. Use the Save button in the raw converter to create a separate DNG file, which still must be opened in the raw converter and converted to an image format for use in other programs.

Raw plugin 8.2 doesn't open nikon d800 nef files in photoshop cc and bridge

raw plugin 8.2 doesn't open nikon d800 nef files in photoshop cc and bridge

How did you install the plugin? You may want to try reinstalling it or installing the dng converter, as that is what has the camera formats. ACR 8.2 is just the plugin for the mechanics of Camera raw. Normally they should both install, but sometime the converter doesn't.

Converting NEF (Nikon RAW) to DNG results in error message

I'm trying to convert the NEF (raw) images off my Nikon d90 to DNG to import and work with in PS CS2. Using the DNG Converter tool, having made my settings and pressing "Convert", I get an error for all the 54 files in the selected folder. "An error occurred when the file was analyzed" (roughly translated). DNG Converter settings: JPEG preview: Medium size Compression: Lossless compression Keep Raw image Do not embed Raw image I tried with all the different settings though and get the same error message. I was able to convert the images to JPEG with Nikon's native tool, so I thought the NEF files were alright, but it seems something about them is corrupted? I'm on a one year old Dell Inspiron 1721 with an ATD processor with Vista Home Premium (32bit) and a legal copy of Photoshop CS2.

The DNG converter version was 3.7. I downloaded the version that was listed under Photoshop CS2 here: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=39&platform=Windows since that's the version I have.
Tried downloading & installing 5.4 and everything works like a charm.
Sorry for the trouble, it was that list that confused me, thought it wouldn't work with the later version.

Converting .NEF to .JPG color problem

When I convert a .NEF picture to .JPG the color is significantly desaturated. I know JPG is highly compressed from NEF and figured the color loss was a result of the compression, but then I found out I can open the JPG back into Photoshop and the normal color is back.
Alos, I can convert .NEF to .PNG and the color stays normal.
I am trying to get into taking pictures in the Raw format, but this issue is frustrating me.
I would really appreciate any information about this problem.

One last hing to add, since you did not mention how you determined there is a difference between png and jpg. I am going to assume you saw the differences using a web browser, since those formats are common for that app.
Not all browsers treat those file formats the same. Some recognize the color profile and others don't. some may reconize for one format and not the other as well. So to verify it would be best to load them back into photoshop to see if there is a diffence. Also it can make a difference if you use the normal save or save for web as save for web does strip the meta data. I am assuming it strips the color profile as well, but I did not test this so I could easily be wrong. Seams to me I recall CS4 adding an option to specify the color profile, but again I could be wrong.
But if you need the color profile to be correct these are things you will need to verify.

Converting NEF files into TIFF's

I have a PowerBook G4 OS 10.2 and I am using Photoshop CS and CS2. I shoot a Nikon D2X and the RAW files are called NEF.
In photoshop is there a way to automate converting NEF's into TIFF's without having to do each file manually?

There may be, without using the SDK. Check in the main Photoshop Mac
forum.

Clean sharp psd graphics and premiere titles until I render?

Hello,
I'm importing beautiful layered psd graphics and creating titles with premiere on a 720P DVCPROHD timeline.
These graphics and titles look great when they are still red bar...then after I render I get the same old ugly jagged edges I have always seen.
Can anyone explain why this is? And is there a fix?
Thanks for your advise in advance!
Mark

Thanks for the input.
I am viewing on my computer monitor because I don't have a video board for external output. I need to render out to a DVD for final playback, so I am stuck making adjustment on my computer screen. I am editing a progressive timeline so isn't my "Premiere program monitor" computer screen accurate for progressive material or is premiere always converting to interlaced?
My preview playback codec is set to DVCproHD 720p.
I just now tried setting my render quality and bit depth quality to max...this slows down the render time and the rendered graphic images still become jagged.
If I render out to a progressive DVD should this jagged edges clean up?
Rushing to get a project out.....don't have much time to investigate it.
Thanks,
Mark

When I convert a trailer to a project and add content, how can I get the music track to repeat longer

Hey fellow Apple Geniuses - I just got the latest iMovie11 so excited for the new trailer feature, only to discover that these teenie weenie movie trailers are not near long enough for my taste, however I do like the cool transitions and layouts, so I discovered that I can convert the trailer to a project and then add more content, which I am doing right now. I need help though with the audio track... Does anyone know the secret to getting the 43 second music track to repeat, since this particular track (Friendship2) is not showing as an option in my iTunes/iMovie licensed audio to be able to keep dragging more into the movie? Thanks a million!

Hey Tom - Thanks a million truly! Just did what you said and it worked so smoothly! Totally cool! This was the last piece to finish the movie. I appreciate and value your quick response! Happy camper here!
