D800 tethered in LR 4.3 - .nef vs .NEF

Hello, I have been shooting nikon for a few bodies now and my library consists of .NEF files. I have recently upgraded to the d800 and I have began experimenting with tethered shooting. It seems that while doing this the RAW files get written out with the .nef extension.
Is there way to have it write out .NEF (caps on for the extension)
i cant seem to find a way to do this.
If i shoot to a card i get .NEF
even renaming in LR 4.3 doenst seem to change the file.
i dont think there is a major problem with this (is there?) but it's just one of those things that If there is a way then I would like to know why or how.
thank you for any advice.
- Ben

You can select "upper case" or "lower case" or "leave as is" for the file extension in the Import Dialog / File Renaming Panel / Extensions (on the right side).
This panel is not visible/available when you select <Add> in the top center of the Dialog. But for importing from camera / memory card you should select <Copy> anyway.
See screen shot.

D800 tethering on MBP retina, LR 4.2 not working to me

D800 tethering doesn't work on my MBP retina, even with 4.2 version.. Am I the only one?

Lightroom 4.2 should have no problems recognising and importing Canon 5DMk3 files. Actually, I imported around 200 such files late last night. So, there is something else going on with your installation. Have you tried deleting the Lr preference file ? More info where it's located can be found at http://forums.adobe.com/thread/358041?tstart=0

[Consolidation-Locked] D4 & D800 Tethered Capture

Anyone have any idea if or when tethered capture support for the Nikon D800 & D4 will be added to LR 4?
Message title was edited by: Brett N

This is a user forum. None of us know any more about what or when anything will be supported than you do. Adobe does not make such announcements, probably to avoid disappointment if there are delays. Until the support you are looking for is there, just accept the fact that it isn't there. I know, it isn't fair, Adobe should tell, why cant Adobe, etc., etc.. It has been said before, and it will be said again. But it won't do any good.

Automated image capture and processing

I want to create an automated image processing. I have LR4.1 and CS6 installed. I also subscribe to the Creative Cloud.
1. Capture an NEF.
2. Apply an X-Rite color profile.
3. Save as a JPG to a specified folder.
4. Save the NEF to another specified folder.
How can I do this?
Thanks,
Ed Beck

Thanks, let me know if there are more questions.
>1. Capture an NEF.
>Is this a theaderd NiKon camera or a wireless transfer how is the capture beinng done?
D800 tethered to a Windows 7, 64-bit PC via a USB 2.0 port
>2. Apply an X-Rite color profile.
>Is this for your printer are you printing the images or just saving RGB conversions?
The images will eventually be printed by a lab.
>3. Save as a JPG to a specified folder.
>Any resizing or paticilar color profile for the web or prinnter?
Yes, I'll resize the JPGs down. My target is an 8" x 10" print.
>4. Save the NEF to another specified folder.
>again is the transfer fron the camera via usb, firewire ir wireless?
Tethered via a USB 2.0 port.
I'm shooting school photos. I want to capture an NEF to give me a better file to work with later if I need to. However the workflow software I'm using (Flow) is looking for a JPG to appear in a specified folder. I need this to be part of a live workflow because I'm required to produce an ID card on the spot and hand it to the student as they leave the set.
I need to use Flow so I can link the image to the database containing my catalog and the list of students. Using other applications for this part of the process is not an option.
Thanks

Merge to HDR Pro does not work on Nikon D800 RAW (NEF) files

Hi,
I can't get Merge to HDR Pro to work on NEF RAW files from my Nikon D800 - nothing happens after after confirming the file selection. However, it works ok if I convert those files to DNG (using Lightroom 4), and if I use the D800's JPGs, and if I use Nikon D7000 NEFs. It just seems to be a problem with Nikon D800 NEFs.
Steps taken:
1. File -> Automate -> Merge to HDR Pro
2. Browse... and select NEF files (even selecting 2 files does not work).
3. Attempt to Automatically Align Source Images is checked. Then press OK.
Expected result:
Progress cursor spins as files are loaded and HDR dialog appears.
Actual result:
Nothing happens - no progress cursor or CPU or disk activity - it is as if I had clicked cancel instead of ok.
This is a clean install of the 64 bit CS6 beta on Windows 7 64 bit, with no plugins, and I reset preferences (Ctrl+Alt+Shift on startup). I do have my existing CS5 Extended still installed, as well as Lightroom 3.6 and 4.0.
I can send you the NEFs if you like.

Hi,
The Ps CS6 public beta version contains the same camera support as found in Ps CS5/5.5 compatible CR 6.6. There will be future updates to CR 7 for Ps CS6 to pick up more camera support. The Nikon D800 NEF files are not supported, yet.
If you like to work with your D800 files in the public beta build now, you'll have to get the DNG Converter 6.7 from here: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/cameraraw6-7/
and convert your files to DNG.
regards,
steve

Unable to load .jpeg or NEF files from Nikon D800 to Lightroom 4.2

Just purchased a Nikon D800. Upgraded my Lightroom 3 to 4.2. When attempting to dowloand some test shots, I get an error message telling me some images weren't downloaded because they can't be read. I installed Adobe Camera Raw 7.1 but am still unable to get my images into Lightroom. Test files are Nikon RAW NEFs and .jpegs shot at maximum file size.

Ask in the LR forum. this may simply be a configuration issue with the RAW engine.

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.

Nikon D800 Not Detected for Tethering - LR 5.3 - Windows 7 / 8.1

Win 7 Machine: Homebuilt, Lightroom 5.3, all drivers and windows updates up to date.
Win 8.1 Machine: Dell XPS 15 (2013 High Res Touchscreen edition). Lightroom 5.3, all windows updates applied. Drivers up to date.
Camera firmware up to date as of Jan 2014. (A, B and L all at latest versions).
On the Win7 Machine, the camera shows up in device manager, can be browsed in Windows Explorer and works with Nikon Camera Control 2.13. It does not work in Lightroom.
On the Win8.1 Machine the camera shows up in Device manager but with a yellow /!\, it does not show up in Windows Explorer, it cannot be detected by Lightroom and Nikon Camera Control does not work.
Nikon Technical say they've tested against their Win 8.0 and 8.1 machines and it works fine. Despite being very friendly and sympathetic, this was about the extent of their help. They confirmed that there are no drivers for the D800 and that the OS should install the generic USB device driver, as it has done so on the Win7 machine.
Camera firmware is up to date, camera batteries are fresh, all tests have been conducted with and without a memory card in the camera. I've used a USB2 Micro cable, a USB3 Micro cable in both USB2 and USB3 sockets, as well as through a powered USB3 Hub and an Active USB3 extension cable.
All permutations work fine with Nikon Camera Control on the Win 7 machine.
None of the permutations work with Lightroom.
None of the permutations with with either Lightroom or NCC on the Win 8.1 machine.
Tried changing the USB3 routing mode from EHCI to XHCI and that didn't change a damn thing either.
Any input gratefully received, I'm flat out of ideas and very frustrated.
Capture One 7.2 works flawlessly on Windows 7, but their UI is lightyears behind Lightroom's so I'd rather get things fixed than jump ship.

Hi Denyerec,
Since not even the Nikon software will tether the camera for you, it sounds like whatever problem you're having is at a much lower level than Lightroom (at least on Windows 8.1). Tethering with the D800 is supported by Lightroom on both Win7 and Win8.1 (and works fine in my tests). You can find some tether troubleshooting tips here:
http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/troubleshoot-tethered-capture-lightroom-4.html
It sounds like you've tried a lot of that already, though I would definitely suggest trying a different USB cable if you haven't done that already, as that can make a big difference.
You should also check to see if the tether process is running, like so:
1. Connect your camera and turn it on.
2. Launch Lightroom and initiatate tethered capture.
3. Start Task Manager and look for a process called "tether_nikon.exe *32".
Let me know if any of the troubleshooting steps help, and let me know if the tether process is running.
Thanks,
Ben

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.

What's the problem?

Thx!

The D800 is listed as needing ACR 6.7/7.1. That raises a red flag that might indicate that 7.1 is needed. Since that requires CS6 you can not use that version. If others confirm you need 7.1 you either have to upgrade or use the DNG converter with latest version, which I think is 8.1.

Has anyone solved their LR4 / Nikon D800 RAW NEF issues?

I've done a lot of reading on this topic and think I have a handle on how easily the new D800 NEF files can be corrupted by the older versions of Nikon Transfer.
When I began using the camera I accidently made the mistake of corrupting them and haven't had any issues since... until yesterday.
I photographed last night, and imported about 160 RAW NEF files onto my brand new Macbook Pro with Retina for a same day preview for the host. I transfered the images using ViewNX2 & by association it's built-in Nikon Transfer 2 utility. I used the built in SD Card reader on the Macbook which has always worked in the past. But alas!!!!! While they imported fine, LR4 can't import them and gives me the error "Preview Unavailable at this Time". I should note... Nikon Transfer 2 was set to clear the card after the transfer .
Nikon ViewNX2 can see the images and I'd hoped to fix the issue by just converting them to JPEG's but, no bueno. It tells me it can't. This is the precise issue I can into when I accidently used the original version months ago on my iMac. But it's impossible that I have the old version on this unit. It's less than a month old and I'd downloaded the most recent version from Nikon. So I'm running under the assumption that the file is somehow corrupted.
I've seen a lot of people running into issues getting used to the new workflow requied to deal with these enormous RAW's.
Here's the all important question. After the files have an issue... is there anyway to recover them??? I can't retake them, the original shots were wiped from the card. So what do I do? At least Nikon View can see them, so I have to believe that there is some image information there.
Has anyone sucessfully fixed the issue?
Going forward I plan to just import everything directly through LR4, so I think that'll aliviate future heartburn... but what's my "undo" solution?
I know there's a lot that's been written on this topic and really appriciate the support!

What Bob Frost just posted (after fixing the hidden http// part of the URL) worked for the image you uploaded, so try that:
http://owl.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/fix_corrupted_nef.html
BTW, I answered 14 to the bit-depth-12-or-14 question the utility asked, and it worked ok on the example corrupted NEF.
Below is what I was typing up and testing before posting, and works to extract the embedded JPG Preview, but does not actually fix the corrupted NEFs, which is a better solution. I am including it, below, for reference in case someone without corrupted NEFs also wants to extract JPGs from their raw files. It uses the same tool from Phil Harvey without his customizations to work specifically with corrupted NEFs.
== Original Message ==
The raw data in the NEF you uploaded appears corrupted or otherwise unusable because when viewing in Windows Explorer using the latest Nikon NEF Codec that supports the D800, all I see is a small thumbnail then black with a few parts of color, however for that one file, at least, the embedded JPG preview is intact, and 7360 x 4912 in size, enough to see the camera-shake blur.
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/9905000/JBR_20120910_175757.jpg
I’m on a PC and you’re on a Mac but the same tool is available - exiftool a command-line program you run in terminal (on a Mac) or in a Command Prompt window on a PC:
http://owl.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/
If what you download includes a (-k) then remove it by renaming before attempting to run the command, below. On Windows I would rename exiftool(-k).exe to exiftool.exe without the (–k) part. The (-k) tells exiftool to display the exif information by default if you drag-and-drop to it. While this is normally useful, for the purpose of extracting JPGs from NEFs this might be confusing so I’m suggesting to rename the executable before using it.
Here is the command-line to extract the fullsize JPG from the NEFs and then copy the metadata tags from the NEF to the newly written JPG:
.\exiftool -b -JpgFromRaw -w %d%f_%ue.jpg -execute -tagsfromfile @ -srcfile %d%f_%ue.jpg -overwrite_original -common_args --ext jpg .
The above command assumes both the exiftool executable and all the NEFs are in the current folder. The current folder is designated by a single period both at the very beginning and the very end of the command-line. If exiftool is in a different folder, then supply that path instead of the initial period, and if the NEFs are in a different folder, substitute that folder-name for the final period. The final period has a space separating it from the preceding –ext jpg.
It is also assumed that only NEFs and the executable are in the current folder. If there are other files, they may confuse things so you might want to move things to a temporary working folder, and I’d suggest working with a copy of the NEFs just in case something goes haywire, you’re not overwriting the originals, corrupt as they may be.
For reference, the above command-line was simplified from a more complex example that didn’t quite work with your file, one that conditionally extracts either the full-size JPG or the tiny JPG-thumbnail. The example is the last one in the Copying Examples section, here:
http://owl.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/exiftool_pod.html#copying_examples
