CS3 and Nikon Raw Files

I have recently replaced my hard disk on my iMac and having installed CS3 plus Mountain Lion operating system it appears that CS3 no longer reads the Nikon raw (NEFF) files. It was all right before I re-installed everything on my new disk and worked perfectly so the systems are compatible with the raw files. HELP!

There are no updates available at this time.
Have you already updated after installing?
How do I go about updating Adobe Updater?
I don’t know.
You could try downloading and installing the updates for Photoshop and ACR manually.

  • Adobe camera raw 4.6 and nikon raw files from the d700

    when opening a nikon raw file from the new d700, the picture appeares almost 1 step brighter than if you open the same picture in nikons capture nx2 software. the same happens when you do so with the new camera raw support in apples aperture - also almost 1 step to bright.

    >I expected that a raw file shows up the same in every raw-converter.
    Your expectation is wrong. Every RAW converter will give you a different interpretation of the data. There is no single accepted way of interpreting RAW.
    >shouldn't that be so?
    Not really. I think what makes RAW so interesting is that you are not tied to the camera maker's interpretation of the data. This gives one far more versatility to get to your desired result. Of course, if you prefer the camera maker's interpretation, youu can use their software to develop the RAW or you can use the beta profiles in ACR/Lightroom and get
    close to identical rendering. I don't know if Adobe released any beta camera profiles for the D700 yet though.

  • Using CS3 with Nikon Raw Files from D700 and Mountain Lion

    I changed my hard disc as there was a problem. I was quite happily using mountain lion to read raw files in CS3 before re-installing and now I cannot read the raw NEFF files in Photoshop CS3. Help please.

    Sounds as if that's a Photoshop problem - I have no problems with Photoshop CS6 (I upgraded from CS3 when I bought my new Mac). You might want to head over to the Adobe Photoshop discussion boards and post your problem there - http://forums.adobe.com/community/photoshop - I'm not totally sure that all CS3 apps are compatible with Mountain Lion. Roaring Apps says that Photoshop CS3 is compatible with both Lion and ML.
    Have you tried using iPhoto to import the RAW NEFF files? Try that as a backup method - but get in touch with the Adobe Forum first.
    Good luck,
    Clinton

  • Mac computer: New Nikon d300s, CS3, and Camera Raw

    I just purchased a Nikon d300s. I had a Nikon d50, Mac, iPhoto, CS3, and Camera Raw 4.6.0.30. With Nikon d50,  no problem opening an image from iPhoto into Camera Raw/CS3. With the new D300s, the image opens into CS3 but does not open into Camera Raw. Do I have to buy CS4?

    No, you do not have to. You can alternatively use the DNG Converter, which will process your D300S NEF files into DNG files, which can then be opened in CR 4.6 in CS3. The latest version of the DNG Converter, which supports the D300S, is currently in Release Candidate phase and is available here:

  • I just bought the Nikon D750 and my raw files will not open in CC Photoshop. Is anyone else that has this camera experienced this problem?

    I just bought the Nikon D750 and my raw files will not open in CC Photoshop. Is anyone else that has this camera experienced this problem?
    My Photoshop says it is up to date, but I am hoping that since this camera just came out, Adobe will have an raw file update soon.

    DNG Converter is FREE.  Yes, really.  No subscription needed.
    - Baloney, NOT FREE, it's a proprietary software, not open AT ALL, see Legal Notices, so stop trying to distort the truth here.
    Camera Raw (& DNG Converter) 8.7RC has been available since 2nd October, and opens D750 files in Photoshop & Bridge (& Lightroom using DNG Converter).
    Adobe Photoshop Camera Raw 8.7 Release Candidate | digital camera raw file support - Adobe Labs
    - Still a cumbersome process for this of us that PAID for software and support, the whole point of this discussion is to implement this directly on LR, so we, the PAYING users don't have to waste time doing a useless process that could be EASILY AVOIDED ig Adobe released updates as they are needed, or if they OPENED THE SOURCE CODE so the community could do it.
    Adobe created DNG, which is a well-documented backwards-compatible format, which is free for any manufacturer to use.
    See here for manufacturers who do (it's an old list, but you get the idea):
    http://www.barrypearson.co.uk/articles/dng/products_cameras.htm
    - Really? Did you actually read the site? It has PRECIOUS information that illustrate my point: Adobe DNG is an attempt to stop the OpenSource community from achieving the goals of OpenRaw, which is TRUE OPENNESS, Again, Adobe is trying to get manufacturers to PAY LICENSING so they use a PROPRIETARY FORMAT that will HOLD CUSTOMERS on a PAID platform. OpenRaw is he answer for a true competitive environment.
    Ask yourself why other manufacturers don't use a documented backwards-compatible format.
    - Easy, because they are lazy and want kick-back. The SAME answer that I (and the entire OS community) would give if you asked about Acrobat or MS Office.
    If you use a particular piece of software as your main tool, and you buy a camera which isn't yet supported by it, it's your problem. There is an expression used in the industry:
    "Poor Planning on your part does not constitute an Emergency on my part."
    - I agree here, it's MY PROBLEM that I decided to have a better product, it was my choice. I can still use OS Tools, which will be what I do moving forward, and about that expression, that is EXACTLY why Adobe will keep loosing customers, because the sense of urgency to help who pays their bills is inexistent. You are correct, why should they rush something so simple to help a customer right? Screw the customer... Thanks for making my point...

    You're welcome!  It's usually CS5 and below that has the ACR update problems.
    What counts is that you are back in business.

  • Big Colour and detail changes between Original Nikon RAW files and the images created on the Preview page!

    Big Colour and detail changes between Original Nikon RAW files and the images created on the Preview page! Yes there are distinct visual changes when I preview my Nikon NEF RAW Files.Please note I do not use iPhoto at all.
    If you view it as a contact sheet straight from the original folder there are no alterations but the moment you double click and want to 'Preview' it, this new preview page introduces very noticeable distortions : lighter shading goes missing and colour goes darker e.g orange turns red and mid blue goes deep blue!  Alarmingly the little column on the left of the preview page showing the collection shows the original file colours and then after a few seconds show the new distorted image...you can see this visible change and it takes place after a few seconds once you double click! Also if you use Apple's 'Cover Flow' to preview, this function will replace your original RAW file with the new 'altered preview' image!
    I have raised this with Apple but they have yet to reply...has anyone ever experienced this? I have used my Mac book for 18months only noticed it about 5 days ago!
    I went to Apple store and we tried it in other laptops and Macs and it happened to all of them so we think this is a software issue and not down to the laptop.
    Any help is much appreciated!

  • Is it possible to show Nikons raw files (.nef) in the organizer as thumbnails?

  • Aperture and/or RAW files on a iPad?

    I use Aperture as my primary photo editng program, and do the editing on my MacPro.  While traveling, as a backup to my memory cards, I have been importing the RAW files from my Nikon DSLR into Aperture on my laptop (MacBook).  When I get home I then import again directly from the cards to my MacPro, using the files on the laptop only if the card is lost or corrupted.  QUESTION:  I am considering getting an iPad to replace the MacBook while traveling. Is it possible to import my Nikon RAW files onto the iPad, using any program/app that will store them as a backup to my cards?  I would not do editing on the iPad.  I do not believe that there is an Aperture app/program that will run on the iPad (could be wrong), but that would not be necessary for my purposes.  I only want a place to store the RAW files and then be able to retrieve them in an emergency in an unaltered form.  Thanks for any suggestions.

    You sure can, and it's actually pretty easy.
    First, you'll need the Camera Connection Kit for your iPad so you can either connect your camera via it's USB cable, or read an SD card if that's what your camera uses.
    No software is necessary on the iPad...simply connect the camera or SD card using the CCK and the iPad will import the images into a new event.
    Then when you are ready to import the images on the iPad into Aperture, simple connect it via it's USB cable and do an import in Aperture. The iPad will show up in Aperture as a device, and you can import the images on the iPad using all your usual settings.
    One obvious consideration is to make sure you get an iPad with enough storage for the photos you anticipate storing on it. As you know, RAW files--depending on your camera model--can use up storage pretty quickly. Apple just announced a 128GB version of the iPad so you have plenty of options.
    The iPad is a great device for what you describe, i.e., using it as a travel device.  You can easily view your images, do slideshows, and do some basic editing using iPhoto and other apps. Just don't plan on doing a lot of heavy-duty editing with it.

  • Converting Nikon raw file

    Hi Folk,
    Having converting Nikon raw files (NEF) I found that MB25 in NEF became MB 51 in DNG.
    Is it normal? Can I have more data than in the original?
    Thanks
    Shaul

    Yes, it's normal. DNG is a more generalized intermediate format and may require to fill in info just for compatibility reasons like padding chroma sub-sampling and the like.

  • Cannot open nikon raw files from my 3200 in elements 8

    i cannot open nikon raw files from my 3200 in elements 8

    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    You would need PSE11 since the 3200 requires ACR version 7.1
    Only PSE11 can have 7.1, so to be able to use your raw files with PSE9 you should download the free Adobe DNGconverter which can batch convert a whole folder of raw files into the Adobe raw DNG format which your PSE8 can open.

  • Can I import and open raw files on the new photo app?

    Hi,
    Can I import and open raw files on the new photos app on my ipad?  Does it convert it to jpeg automatically when you want to share them?
    Thanks.

    Clem is telling you to click on the View menu, move the pointer down to the item "Metadata," & from its choices make sure "Show Titles" is selected. Do this, then make sure you are in a view in the main window that shows one or more videos (or whatever) that you want to title. Click once on one of them, & if the separate Info window is not open, open that (on the Windows menu or command + i as a keyboard shortcut). In the Info window the top line will be "Add a Title."
    Click once on that & type your title.
    This works for any item, video or photo.

  • Is Adobe CS5 compatible with CS3 and Dreamweaver 8 files

    All,
    We have eight users that are using CS3 (Photoshop, InDesign and Acrobat 8) plus Dreamweaver Studio 8 on Windows XP Pro 32-bit.  Two of these users are moving to Windows 7 64-bit.  We don't have it in the budget to upgrade all 8 users.  Will Adobe CS5 Premium files (particularly InDesign and Dreamweaver) work with CS3 and Dreamweaver 8 files?
    Thanks

    InDesign absolutely NOT! InDesign can only save back one version.
    But...CS3 runs just fine on Win7 64 bit.
    I'm not sure about what issues you'll have with Dreamweaver.
    Please post followups in the InDesign and Dreamweaver forums.

  • When opening a nikon raw file in cs5, ACR, the sky turns red, but is not red in thumbnail

    You most likely have the clipping indicator on that shows you blown out areas.  Click the little triangle in the upper right of the histogram to turn it on or off.
