CS6 Camera Raw 7.4 "will not open" compatible D800 NEF Raw files (Win7)

CS6 camera raw 7.4 "will not open" the compatible D800 NEF Raw files (Win7). D300 NEF files open OK.
I seem to remember seeing an article that stated i would have to uninstall and re-install CS6 Photoshop completely and re-install again. However I cannot find this article now.
If the above is true, having PS version CS4 with update CS5 & 6 installed, would i have to remove all PS versions.
Photoshop error message just states download latetest software version, which i have done with ACR 7.4. I have also tried ACR 8 which did open file either.
Also when ACR8 is hosted by Photoshop CS6, it does not offer any of  the new features described in Photoshop CC marketing materials for ACR8 (Re: DPReview mag) so i returned to 7.4
Adobe DNG runs OK but i would rather deal with the original file in ACR rather than adding an additional step with more files to keep track of.
Is there a way of uninstalling all versions of ACR, cleaning system and re-installing ACR, assuming the fault lies with ACR?
Anyone have any answers?

Half an hour after posting this query (in the wrong forum) I resolved the issue. The fault lies with Nikon Transfer.
Nikon Transfer corrupts the D800 NEF files. Apparently Nikon Transfer is well known for causing errors.
Drag & dropping the files direct from the memory card onto your hard drive and everything works fine.

  • My PS CS6 with camera raw 8.4 will not open Nikon D4s NEF files-

    I have just upgraded from CS 5.1 to CS6.  The initial installation went smoothly and everything seems to work as it should.  The CR was version 7.  I then installed all of the updates using the Check Updates option from the menu.  That went fine also and the CR was updated to version 8.4.0.199 as reported under the About Plug ins.  It will still open my old nef files (Nikon D700) but it will not open files from the D4s, suggesting that I upgrade camera raw.  Now I have also downloaded and installed the latest DNG converter version 8.4.  That will show and convert the older D700 files but will not even show the D4s files In the same folder.  I uninstalled CS6 according to the uninstall instructions and then deleted the folder (Plug ins?) from the Common/Adobe location as instructed, and then reinstalled.  No improvement resulted. This is on windows 7 64 bit system with all updates.

    Glad to be of help. But I'm curious (not critical of what you are doing) to know why so many people like to use Nikon Transfer to transfer their files to the computer. It is still necessary to import them into Lightroom. And, from my perspective, it seems simpler and maybe even a little quicker to use the Lightroom import dialog. I have Nikon cameras, and have never even installed the Nikon Transfer utility. What is so unique about it?

  • I have Adobe Design CS6, suddenly a simple PDF will not open. Noting happens when I doubleclick either the file or try to open Adobe Acrobat X Pro

    I have Adobe Design CS6, suddenly a simple PDF will not open. Noting happens when I doubleclick either the file or try to open Adobe Acrobat X Pro ?

    Hi Jenny, I just had to do that, for the 3rd time. It is a pity though when one pays for such expensive software that this happens, specifically when the only Adobe help is to tell you to post your problem on a forum and hope someone can help you. Not good enough and not what I expected when I bought it. I am so disappointed in Adobe.

  • PSE Will not open and .psd or .jpeg files

    Please help, I have been using PSE 11 with success to edit hundreds of pics.  However now all of a sudden it will not open any .psd or .jpeg files.  When I go to PSE menu - open a finder window opens up and when I go to choose a file, the open finder window goes disapears and then the menu bar gets faded out so I cannot access any of the menu options in PSE.  There are have not been any PSE warnings or messages. I have to use force quit on PSE.  I have restarted my computer and even uninstalled and reinstalled PSE 11 and this still did not solve the issue.  I am running OSX 10.9 with 16 GB of memory and a 3.06 Intel Core 2 Duo. 

    That was BRILLIANT how you somehow knew I had the coverflow view open.  I tried to close the coverflow first thing but PSE closed down again so I went through the steps again previously suggested .........in my Finder - Library - Preferences - and deleted the follow again: (com.adobe.PhotoshopElements.plist / Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 Paths / Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 Settings)  I was then able to close the coverflow view and the combination of tweeks helped.  I can now get back to work after three days of headaches trying to solve this puzzle. 
    THANK YOU!!!

  • I can access the camera but the screen will not open to allow me to take pictures

    I can acess the camera app on my itouch but the screen will not open to allow me to take pictures.  Has anyone had this problem?

    Yes others have.  If the following (in order) does not solve the problem) an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
    - Reset iPod:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore the iPod from backup via iTunes
    - Restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod

  • Converted raw (or .dng) will not open in ACR?

    OK, now that I've gotten sort-of over the hurdle of synching all the pieces associated with a smart object, I've hit the NEXT hurdle (SOs appear to be the usual double-edged sword - kinda handy in a way but rife with pitfalls and hurdles)...
    I open a .NEF in Bridge, go into ACR and open the file as a Smart Object in Photoshop.  Double-click the layer icon and I'm back in ACR, just like all the demos and seminars I've watched.  But, take the SAME .NEF in Bridge and open it as a standard image in Photoshop, then CONVERT it to a smart object, double-click the layer icon and all I get is a .psd and NOT jump into ACR.  It does exactly the same thing with a .dng file And from Lightroom OR ACR...
    I found an entry from a discussion (not in here, I couldn't find anything about this in here) about CS3 (yes 3), where a user had this problem and was told it's because the original image was opened as a rasterized image, NOT as a Smart Object from ACR...  Which isn't making sense to me 'cause who cares what it was way back when, it's NOW a Smart Object and should be treated like one no matter HOW it got there...
    Is there some preference or setting or something I need to change in Photoshop so this will work as expected is is there really some restriction about exactly HOW the Smart Object got created?  And if so, is there some paragraph is big, bold letters in the documentation that makes it really clear to the uninformed that you MUST open it as a Smart Object or it won't work?
    And yes, I KNOW that in ACR I can set it so it defaults to opening as a Smart Object, but like many other PS users I normally use Lightroom and I haven't seen any such default.  Which means it's REALLY easy to forget to go down to the Open as Smart Object and instead just hit Open in Photoshop...

    Listen, buddy, no one has any obligation to answer your questions here in this user to user forum.  Lose the attitude. 
    I'll repeat the answer anyway, as you apparently are unable to read replies carefully.

    …CAN I take an image that was opened in Photoshop as a "standard" image, then converted to a smart object and edit it in ACR?  If yes, HOW?
    No, ABSOLUTELY NOT !  You cannot. Period. That's what I said in post #2 of this thread.
    ACR will only open and edit Smart Objects that contain raw data.  Any image opened in Photoshop —not as a Smart Öbject—is already cooked and contains no raw data any more. Additionally, ACR can edit JPEGs and TIFFs if you set your preferences accordingly, but with much less latitude and functionality than a raw file.
    What's more, the cooked Smart Object 's now in the cooked PSB format (a variation of PSD that can handle much larger files than PSD can) so there's no way on Earth ACR can open it.

  • My front camera on my phone will not open at all I've already reset, restored, and did a back up and it still won't work

    My front camera has stopped working suddenly and I have already tried to restore reset and backup

    Hello Engilliam13,
    You may need to contact Apple Support in order to obtain service for your iPhone, as this is the only step remaining from our iPhone Hardware Troubleshooting guide.
    Camera isn't functioning or has undesired image quality
    If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
    If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tappingSettings > General > Restrictions.
    Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
    Cases can interfere with the camera and the flash. Try gently cleaning the lens with a clean dry cloth or removing the case if you see image or color-quality issues with photos.
    Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
    Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
    Try to remain steady while focusing:
    Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center.
    Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
    Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. You can also tap to readjust focus while recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll.
    Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
    If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?

  • CS4 will not open Nikon D7000 NEF files; Is there a DNC that will open them?

    I have CS4 and Light Room 2
    Apparently there is no Camera Raw update for the new Nikon D7000 NEF files for CS4.
    I therefore down loaded the Adobe Digital Negative Converter Verson 6.3.0.79 which is compatible with Camera Raw 5.4 or later. 
    Using that DNC, when I do step 1, "Select the images to convert" I get the message "No items match your search".  It apparently is not recongnizing the D7000 NEF files.
    Is there another DNC that will open and convert the D7000 NEF files?

    I just bought the d7000 yesterday and was experiencing the same issue with cs4. I downloaded the DNG converter from adobe and selected the whole folder where the raw files were located (I was unable to select individual images) and it worked fine. It processed the files one by one with new name (without the $500 CS5 pricetag for now). The DNG files open in bridge and psd. Perhaps try selecting the folder?  Good luck.

  • I can't open Nikon D800.nef (raw) files in my Photoshop CS6 (64 bit), however, I can open .jpg files

    I just purchased and installed Photoshop CS6 (64 bit) to use with my Nikon D800.  However, I can't open the .nef (raw) files but the .jpg files from the same camera will open.  What do I need to do to open .nef files from the D800?

    Hello! By default, Photoshop CS6 cannot open the NEF from a D800, you need to have at least Camera Raw 7.1, as explained in this document: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    Go to the Help menu, and select "updates" and you'll launch the Adobe Updater that should suggest to install Camera Raw 7.2 that supports the D800, and many other cameras.

  • Camera R A W WILL NOT CONVERT IMAGES TAKEN IN RAW IN A NIKON 5300D

    I have the latest version of camera raw installed on my program (Elements 11)
    I shooting in raw format on a Nikon d5300,but elements can not convert the
    Nikon format to allow me to import into elements for development.
    Some one with a suggestion,other than using a different program or dumping the new camera on e-bay.

    Hi,
    The D5300 requires camera raw 8.3 which is not compatible with Photoshop Elements 11
    You can either
    1) Buy the latest version of Photoshop Elements
    2) Use the free Adobe DNG converter to take the NEF files and converts them to DNG files. The DNG files can then be processed by Photoshop Elements 11

  • FCP will not open due to a movie file

    Hey Everyone,
    FCP stopped opening. When I try to open the application it loads for a moment, then a box appears with the words
    'The movie file "Outside Workouts.mov" cannot be found. Without this file, the movie cannot play properly'.
    I searched for the file and could not find it. It's possible that I may have accidently trashed the file. However, I still do not understand why this file is preventing FCP from opening-up. At the same time, this file is preventing me from opening other FCP projects that have nothing to do with it. Any advice on how to fix this problem and open FCP would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Isaiah

    It's likely that FCP is set to "Open last project on launch". You need to clear that from the FCP preferences file.
    Deleting FCP Preferences:
    Open a Finder window. Set the view mode to columns:
    Click the house icon that has your name next to it.
    Click the folder "Library" in the next column.
    Find and click the folder "Preferences" in the next column.
    Find and click the folder "Final Cut Pro User Data" in the next column.
    Move the files "Final Cut Pro 6.0 Prefs", "Final Cut Pro Obj Cache" and "Final Cut Pro Prof Cache" to the Trash and empty it.
    When you have a stable set of preference files, download [Preference Manager|http://www.digitalrebellion.com/pref_man.htm] to back them up.
