Does Photoshop Nikon Coolscan NEF format?

I have a current version of Adobe Camera Raw. It supports my D200, but it doesn't support the NEF format for my Coolscan 5000 (16 bit raw). Nikon Capture opens both. Do I have to save the files as TIF's to get 16 bit color into Photoshop?

And >>> Nikon NEF Plugin.8bi >> into CS2 plugins photoshop only> fileformats.
Photoshop stops asking for files but opens nEF neither.

Using the Nikon RAW NEF format and Nikon Capture NX.

This is about using the RAW NEF format in Aperture together with RAW NEF capable editing programs, specifically Nikon Capture NX.
I basically agree with Aperture that it is a "workflow tool" and NOT a photo editor with all the bells and whistles of Photoshop or Nikon Capture. Apple fixed the most basic level of NEF conversion with version 1.1, great!
However, as a workflow tool for RAW images, I cannot seem to figure out how to use RAW (Nikon's NEF) files efficiently with the new Nikon Capture NX.
Nikon Capture NX is quite an interesting alternative to Photoshop. (I cannot wait or the Universal version, as with Photoshop, but that is another matter.) I like the work flow idea it uses, and I like that it edits the RAW NEF files directly, layering the edits on the RAW data. If I open an edited NEF file in Photoshop using the Nikon Plug-in, the result looks great. If I open the same file with Aperture (or using the Adobe RAW plugin) the result is basically an unedited version of the RAW NEF file. This is very disappointing.
It seems I need to export the file from Nikon Capture as a TIFF or JPG. The TIFF gives good results but takes up about 10x more disc space. With the JPG I must give up the 16-bit per channel color depth. Neither allow me to have a "RAW workflow" as advertised by Aperture.
What am I missing? Is this something Apple is going to work on by working more closely with Nikon (and Cannon)? (I figure Nikon keeps their conversion algorithms secret.)
Or are we out of luck here?

How do I know? Well if you change the white balance settings in-camera, different numbers come thru in Aperture. But the numbers in Aperture, ACR and the presumed numbers in-camera do not match. I wrote Nikon about this quite a while ago and they wrote back saying we do not know how other people interprete our proprietary WB numbers. See note below for additional insight as how you might look further into it
"The shooting data I referenced is available in Nikon View Browser when viewing your images. Looking at all the images at once, it is easy to compare changes made to the camera by quickly clicking on the separate thumbnails. They displayed the differences I had mentioned before. If you do not already have the software, you can download it here:

URL: http://support.nikontech.com/cgi-bin/nikonusa.cfg/php/enduser/stdadp.php?p_faqid=13760&pcreated=1131989543
Nikon Capture will not report a temperature value for White Balance, unless a manual Kelvin setting is selected using the option in the D200. As I mentioned before, Auto White Balance, and other Auto settings in the camera may not deliver a consistent result in a burst or as separate still frames even if the subject has not moved or changed. You have a cast on that one image using Auto White Balance. This is not uncommon, just choose a different value. The value may not even accurately reflect what situation you are in. It may be sunny, and you choose cloudy. The White Balance is not measuring the ambient light, it's used to measure the temperature of the light reflecting off your subject. The closer your subject is to white, the closer the value. This is why a preset is taken with a white or neutral gray card.
Since Auto White Balance covers a wide range of temperature, the exact value is not recorded anywhere that I know of. In addition, all White Balance temperatures are approximate values, as per the manual page 35. Having a cast on an image while using Auto White Balance is very possible, just choose another value more suited to the ambient light.
Set the White Balance to K , and capture an image, and this will be reported by the shooting data in Nikon Capture. I have no idea whether ACR is reporting an accurate value or not, we do not support that software, but check this value against what you see in there software."

How can I import Nikon's NEF format unto Iphoto

I cannot print photos from NEF on my HP or Epson printers. I tried importing into Iphoto & Aperture but get error message unrecognizable format. Can anyone help.

RAW is different for each camera - there is not a generic Nikon NEF format - what camera do you have? Here is the list of RAW supported for OSX 10.6.6 - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3825

IPhoto 09 and Nikon's NEF format

I have a Nikon D90, iPhoto 06, Aperture 2.1.4, and run OS 10.6. I cannot import my Nikon's NEF files into iPhoto 06. I can upload and view them in Aperture.
If I upgrade to iPhoto 09, will I be able to upload and view them?

Welcome to the Apple user to user assistance forums
the Nikon D90 is supported in OS X 10.5.7 and later - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1475 - If you upgrade to iPhoto '08 or '09 and OS X 10.5.7 or later it will work

Iphoto 6 no support for Nikon D40 (NEF-Format/RAW)

Hello,
I want to use iphoto (Version 6.0.5) with NEF-files of my D40, but that files are not supported yet. I haven´t found a solution in the forum.
I don´t want to buy another program to be able to edit the nef-files. The functions of iphoto are still enough for me.
Can anybody help me.
With regards

For maximum compatibility I suggest you run the 10.4.9 COMBO updater, the Quicktime 7.1.6 updater and the iPhoto 6.0.6 updater. Also, if you haven't already done so, run the Digital Camera RAW Support Update 1.0.1. Follow it with a repair of disk permissions with Disk Utility.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Aperture does not recognise TIF files from Nikon CoolScan

The TIF files from my Coolscan are good in every other application, but Aperture does not recognise them. I've tried re-saving the TIFs as JPG and PDS but Aperture doesn't recognise any file generated from the TIF. Maybe it's something to do with the scanner driver? Any ideas how to load these files into Aperture?

You might check the color space that is assigned to the files. If you are using Nikon Scan software to manage your CoolScan, there is a preference for setting the color space of the saved file. FWIW, Nikon CoolScan .nef files are a 'raw' file, not camera raw, that was/is a Nikon proprietary format for their scans. If you use the Nikon Scan for image editing, the edits are non-destructive in saved files and can be adjusted by re-opening the file in NS. Adobe first made editing camera raw available in early 2003 and the Nikon format preceded that. Nikon's camera raw format also has the .nef extension, but is not the same as the CoolScan .nef-- really confusing. I suggested checking the color space, because Nikon has different internal names for Adobe RGB(1988) as well as their own Wide Gamut space.
All said, I've not had a problem opening .tif scan files in Aperture.

Nikon D5000 NEF Support

Hello,
The current version of Camera Raw (5.3) does not support the Nikon D5000 NEF format. When can I expect support for this camera to be released? If you need a few NEF files to help in getting this done, let me know and I'll be happy to send you a few.
Until then, I'm using Capture NX 2 instead of Photoshop CS4 and Lightroom 2.
Regards,
Tom

Hi Tom,
An update is on the way. Sorry can't give a date. No sample files needed,
but thanks for offering.

Photoshop CC / Nikon Coolscan V ED compatibility in Windows 7 64 bit.

I managed to install a Nikon Coolscan V ED slide scanner in Windows 7 64 bit by first installing Vuescan, then Nikon Scan, but disallowing the installation of Nikon Scan drivers. Photoshop 7 sees the scanner in the file/import menu and previews, scans, and imports properly. Photoshop CC does not see the scanner. What is going on here, and is it possible to employ Photoshop CC with this scanner? (Both Photoshop 7 and Photoshop CC see another Mustek flatbed scanner attached to the system,)

Thank you for your response. Don't know exactly what the Vuescan installation did other than install a Vuescan driver for the scanner. Photoshop 7 shows the file/import entries: PDF Image..., Vuescan, SE A3 USB 1200 Pro..., SE A3 USB 1200 Pro_Network..., Nikon Scan 4.0..., Vuescan TWAIN..., WIA-ScanExpess A3 USB 600/1200 P..., and WIA Support.... Photoshop CC shows the entries: Frames to Layers..., Vuescan, and WIA Support.... I don't know how to interpret all these entries.
I take it that I could be running a 32 bit version of Photoshop CC instead of a 64 bit version, and that that might render the scanner visible. How does one download the 32 bit version? What practical disadvantages, if any, would there be in running a 32 bit version in preference to the 64 bit version?

My version of LR-5.7 (OS X 10.8.5) apparently does not save the .NEF (Nikon RAW) edits done in the basic module.

My version of LR-5.7 (OS X 10.8.5) apparently does not save the .NEF (Nikon RAW) edits done in the basic module. That means that I can correct exposure, highlights, shadows etc. but once I go to another picture and returned to the edited one the histogram (on the edited photo) and specifically the clipping triangles are white or some other color. This is normally suppose to indicate that some channel or all channels are clipped in the highlight/shadow areas. If I adjust any slider in the Basic panel even as little as one +/- value or press the J-key, the histogram will now show the original edit. Moving on to another photo and then returning to to previously edited one and again the edits are "not saved" and I have to hit the J-key or adjust a slider to see the previously edited information reflected in the histogram.
This is especially frustrating for fours reasons. If I have edited a shoot and return to it I cannot see from the clipping information whether the original edit was correct and of course I might re-edit it (to some now incorrect value). This brings up the second issue synchronization. I can't rely on it because if I go back to fine tune a specific image in the batch the triangles are white or some other color for that and every image. I have to hit the J-key to show/hide clipping or the back slash key to see before/after previews. This is the third issue which is very time consuming and inefficient regarding my workflow. The forth issue is that I have noticed that normally when an image is saved in PS, LR adds a copy of the saved version to its catalogue. I have noticed that the PS to LR saves are all wrong in terms of exposure (they are much lighter in tone) than the original LR edit and the PS edit on my screen. If I check the PS to LR photo in LR I notice that the Basic panel values have been changed and that I have to sync the image with the originally edited RAW/NEF LR file to get it to look the same.
Note 1). I am using an Apple cinema display and a calibrated Eizo ColorEdge monitor to view my NEF files. I have reverted back to using LR 4 however I am not sure if I should expect compatibility problems with Camera Raw 7.4 in LR 4 vs. Camera Raw 8.6 in LR 5.
Note 2.) I am going to do an import converting everything to .dng to see if this is a work around.
Note 3). I would be interested in knowing if this issue is related to the PS RAW engine ver. 8.6, the Adobe created NEF calibrations or LR 5.
Note 4). I have duplicated this issue in OS X 10.8.5, OS X 9.xx and OS X 10.10.1
Hopefully someone else has noticed this problem. Any shared information would be valuable. Thanks for the reply.

Happy New Year!
The Develop panel Tone settings in your Dec 31 screenshot show both the Highlights and Shadows controls set to negative values (-48 and -19). For most images (such as this model shot) they should be set to opposite values (-Highlights and +Shadows). To try and duplicate your issue I used negative values for both of these controls with a similar high contrast image. I noticed that the Shadows control becomes non-linear when both the Highlights and Shadows controls are set to negative values. As I moved the Shadows control from a positive value the Shadows clipping indicator comes ON as expected. Moving the Shadows control to a value caused the clipping indicator to turn OFF and moving it further negative caused it to turn back ON again.
The following screenshots demonstrate the issue with only Highlights & Shadows controls applied as shown.
The Highlights & Shadows controls set just to the threshold of extinguishing the clipping indicators.
Moving the Shadows control toward negative causes the Shadow clipping indicator to come ON (as expected), but at-13 it goes OFF again!
Moving the Shadows control further negative causes the Shadows clipping indicator to come back ON at -33.
This is probably normal behavior for the PV2012 Image Adaptive Tone controls as they were not designed to be used way (- - or ++ Highlights & Shadows). The PV2012 Tone controls all interact with each other, which is why it is suggested to adjust them from the Top down starting with Exposure. For most images using -Highlights and +Shadows of near equal value produces good results.
I still can't duplicate the change in clipping indicators after selecting another image, so it may be unique to certain camera models and/or lighting conditions.
SUGGESTION
Try one of the image files that exhibits this issue using the following PV2102 Tone control adjustment procedure:
Start with all of the Tone controls at their default 0 settings and adjust them from the top-down in the order shown below.
Set Exposure to correct midtone brightness ignoring the highlight and shadow areas for now. Setting Exposure slightly higher (+.25 to +.50 EV) than what looks correct for the midtones seems to work best with most images.
Leave Contrast at 0 for now. It’s usually better to adjust this after the first pass.
Adjust Highlights so that blown out areas are recovered and “fine tonal detail” is revealed.
Adjust Shadows to reveal fine detail in dark areas. For most normal images simply setting +Shadows = -Highlights (Example +50 and -50) works very well.
The Whites control sets the white clipping point, which you can see by holding down the ALT key as you move the slider. Adjust it to the point where you see clipping appear with the ALT key.
The Blacks control sets the black clipping point, which you can see by holding down the ALT key as you move the slider. Adjust it to the point where you see clipping appear with the ALT key.
Now go back and adjust the Contrast control to establish the best midtone contrast
If necessary “touch-up” the controls using the same top-down workflow.
If the issue persists I suggest Exporting an image to DNG file format with the settings that exhibit the issue and post it to Dropbox or other file download site.

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.

Does Photoshop elements 13 support Nikon D750 raw files

I have PhotoshopElements 11, which I am gradually getting to grips with. Recently I purchased the Nikon D750and found to my dismay that PhotoshopElemants 11 does not suppost the NEF files and in order to process my images had to convert these files to dng. format using the 8.7 dng converter. Somewhat vexing since this is a departure from my usual processing method. (with my Nikon D7100 I could open the Raw Files in the ARC contained within PSE 11. I don't know whether there is an update for PSE11 which I need to down load (can't find one ) which will enable me to return to my hitherto practice or I need to purchase PSE13. Clearly I need to establish whether PSE13 supports Nikon D750 Raw Files.
Please help!!!!!

Why not get PSE13 now from this link and test it for free for 30 days. Validate with your 24 digit serial number when you buy from your favourite retailer. No uninstalling or re-installing is required - click here for PSE downloads

Photoshop Elements 11 will not read the new Nikon Raw/NEF

Photoshop Elements 11 will not read the new Nikon Raw/NEF (from Nikon D750) files even though codec has been downloaded - what do I do?

Unfortunately your software pre-dates the camera. Consider buying PSE13. But it is possible to download and install the latest free DNG converter to convert your raw files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the files will open in PSE11 (keep your NEF originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software)
Windows download (.exe file) click here DNG Converter 8.8
Mac download (.dmg file) click here DNG Converter 8.8
You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:
