CS3: Cannot open RAW/NEF files from my Nikon

After I reinstalled my harddisk and my CS3, Bridge and PS will not open the RAW files from my Nikon D90.
Wgat do I do?

Niels, it's actually a nice thing that Adobe provides after-the-release updates, or you'd never have had D90 support with Photoshop CS3. But you're right, if the automatic features of the software don't work right, you have to work through manual installations and then things can get a bit geeky. But you're a PC/Windows user - you have to be tough!
To use the Help - About Plug-in feature, in Photoshop click the Help menu, then the About Plug-in entry, then go over and click Camera Raw...
This is the dialog you should see, if your Camera Raw is fully up to date (note the 4.6):

Opening Raw (NEF) files from D5300 Nikon

I recently purchased a Nikon D5300 and downloaded the raw converter version 8.3 but the files won't open. Using Mac 10.9 with PS CS6.

OK. And to open D5300 Raw files you need to install 8.3 after downloading it.
What link did you download 8.3 from?
Have you clicked Help > Updates in Photoshop?

I just installed Camera Raw 8.7.1. It put the folders in a "Pug-Ins" folder under \Programs\Common Files. My Photoshop CC 2014 is in \Programs\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC2014. When I try to open a NEF file from my Nikon D750, CC 2014 says it cannot open it;

I cannot open my raw NEF files from my Nikon d3200. can anyone help me?

I believe you need PSE11 with the Camera Raw plug-in 7.1 or newer.

Elements 6.0 won't open RAW *nef files from Nikon D40 - help!

I tried to open *nef files from a D40. Even though I selected RAW files in the open file menu, AE6 gives me an error message and won't open the files.
How can I get these files to open with AE6?

Hmm, that usually indicates that you need to get a newer version of the Adobe Camera Raw plug-in. But according to this tech note:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/407/kb407111.html
the D40 needs at least ACR 3.7. PSE 6 ships with 4.2, so you should be able to open them.
I suggest following the troubleshooting steps in this tech note, which will likely have you update your ACR:

Camera Raw does not open raw NEF files from D800

I just got a Nikon D800. I have been useing Photoshop CS4. Bridge cannot "see" the raw files, Camera Raw cannot open them so of coursed PS cannot open them either. Updating did not make a difference. Is there an upgrade that will see the raw files?

You need CS6.

I get "program error" or "wrong kind of file" when attempting to open RAW (.NEF) files from my new Nikon D7100. Works fine with Nikon D80. What do I need to do?

FYI, I am on Elements 9.0.forumnotifier

Each time a new camera model is introduced the camera raw plugin has to be updated for its format. The D7100 requires ACR 7.4 which is not compatible with PSE 9. So you have three options:
1. Upgrade PSE.
2. Use the nikon software to convert your files and open the converted files into PSE for further editing.
3. Download the free Adobe DNG converter and use that to convert your NEFs to DNG files that your version of ACR can understand.

Cannot open recent downloaded files from my Nikon camera. Elements 12

I just downloaded pictures from my camera and cannot open them in organizer. It immediately goes to searching missing files in another hard drive from the one designated. When I manually go to the actual area where I have the pictures and try to "find" them, I get a message that they are already there. While that is no suprise in and of itself, what is going on??? I have tried to restore catalogs and repair catalogs to no avail. Win 7 64 bit system. Other pictures I have loaded are fine.

I found the solution in a Light Room forum. The problem was I was using an older version of View NX2 to transfer the files. I uninstalled that version and installed the version supplied with the D3200. The files now load into Elements 11 with no problem. Apparently the old version affects the content of the NEF files, as Elements was not able to recognize them, and gave an error message that the files were from an unsupported camera.
Thanks for looking into this, Don Rieser

Why cannot I open NEF files from a Nikon D600 with Photoshop CS5?

When I try to open raw NEF files from a Nikon D600 with Photoshop CS5 I get: "Could not complete your request because the file appears to be from a camera model which is not supported by the installed version of Camera Raw"
Nikon D600, however, is among the camera models listed as compatible with Camera Raw CS5.
I have never had any problem in Camera Raw CS5 and older versions with raw NEF files from a Nikon D80 camera.
Is there an update for CS5 to make it compatible with Nikon D600 raw NEF files?
Many thaks in advance.

Which verison of camera raw do you have installed? I would update to the latest camera raw plug in. Here is a link to 6.7

Cannot open my NEF files in Photoshop CS6 from my new Nikon D800 camera.

That's it, I Cannot open my NEF files in Photoshop CS6 Camera Raw from my new Nikon D800 camera. What am I doing wrong or what is wrong? I have the plug-in Camera Raw 7. and can open TIFF files but not the NEF files.
Peace,
Charles Fennen

Hi ssprengel,
to explain the scenario, i am basically a D7000 user and I do post production with Windows computer. But for an assignment I have hired D800, they have provided me their SD memory card. I have used the same memory card while shooting.
I have transferred the NEF files from the camera using Nikon software. The transfer was successful but i am not able to open the Raw NEF file with ACR. Even my plugins are updated till date.
The NEF thumbnails are having small lock logo in the bottom left corner. I do not know what does that mean. Like this.
Kindly let me know what would be the prob? if my RAW files are corrupted kindly let me know how will I recover them?
Thank you.

Have CS 5 Installed on my iMac and works ok. But installed on my new MacBook Pro it won't open NEF files from my Nikon D810. Displays NEF icons, but when I try and open them the response is: Make sure latest RAW updates are installed. If problem persists

Have CS 5 Installed on my iMac and works ok. But installed on my new MacBook Pro it won't open NEF files from my Nikon D810. Displays NEF icons, but when I try and open them the response is: Make sure latest RAW updates are installed. If problem persists follow link: http://www.adobe.com/go/kb407111. Have installed Bridge 5.0.2.4; Raw Ref Version 7.0.0.308; DNG converter_8_7_1.dmg; Bridge 5.0.2 Update 2. Also same problem with Lightroom which I don't normally use. Lightroom_3_LS11_mac_3_6.dmg installed.

In the link you posted it states that the Nikon 810 requires ACR 8.6 or newer.
Version of ACR are specific to versions of Photoshop. You cannot use 8.6 nor even 7.0.in CS5.
I believe that ACR 6.7 is the latest that will work with CS5, so make sure you have this installed and get rid of ACR 7.
Having 2 versions of ACR will cause problems.
You have already downloaded DNG Converter 8.7.1.
Have you double clicked the DMG file to allow you to install DNG Converter on your computer?
Be aware that DNG converter is a stand-along application and not a plug-in.
You need to open DNG converter at select the FOLDER that contain your .NEF files.
Don't open the folder and try to select individual files, it doesn't work that way.
After converting your D810 files to DNGs you can then open the DNGs in CS5
The problem is your camera didn't exist when CS5 & its version of ACR was developed.
i don't use Lightroom, but the list mentions Lightroom 5.6 as needed to open D819 so your 3.6 version of LR won't cut it.

Nikon d600, cannot open my NEF files in RAW. I have PS cs6. Please help!

I have a Nikon d600, Adobe PS cs6, and cannot open my NEF files in RAW. Please help!

In Photoshop, if you go to Help/About Plug-Ins/Camera Raw, what version of Camera Raw is reported? There should only be one version. And since you have Photoshop CS6 you could install Camera Raw 8.3.
Since you downloaded with the Nikon program, it could have changed your raw files such that they cannot be opened in Camera Raw. I understand there is a utility somewhere that will fix the files if that is the problem. But I don't recall how to find that utility.
Next time you have raw files to download, I suggest you use Lightroom to do the downloading from the card. I see no value in using any of the Nikon software to perform that task. If there is any chance that you still have the images on the card, I would suggest trying to download them again using Lightroom. But first you would have to remove the ones that you downloaded initially.

Why is my Photoshop CS3 not recognizing my NEF file from my new Nikon D7100, but will recognize NEF's from my old Nikon D90?

Help... Why is my Photoshop CS3 not recognizing my NEF file from my new Nikon D7100, but will recognize NEF's from my old Nikon D90?

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 7100 files to DNGs that can then be opened in older versions like CS3.
Be aware DNG only works on folders of files, not individual files. Select the FOLDER not a single file

How to Install Plug-in for PS cs5 to open RAW (.NEF) file for Nikon D810 Camera

I need someone to walk me through how to install a Plug-in for PS cs5 to open RAW (.NEF) file for Nikon D810 Camera.
I haven't used photoshop in ages and I got a new camera. I have been on the phone with Adobe (no help) and spent a couple of hours online trying to figure this out. I'm confused, frustrated and about to throw my computer out the window.
Also, I placed this in the "Photoshop for Beginners" since Photoshop CS5 doesn't appear anymore. I know CS5 is outdated but I spent hundreds of dollars on this program and you would think adobe would still honor its product.
Any guidance is much appreciated.
AJ

Odds are cs5 is too old. If you do a search on my the main Adobe website there is a list of compatible cameras for the last known update to camera raw for cs5.
Each version of Photoshop only gets so many updates for camera raw then it is necessary to upgrade Photoshop to get the next update for camera raw.
So you currently have 4 choices.
1 upgrade Photoshop
2 get Lightroom - latest version
3 get Photoshop elements -latest version
4 get dng converter - this will download the latest version an is the only option that is free.
The dng converter can be found by searching Adobe website.
