  • Using IPhoto 11 9.4.3 and OSX 10.8.5 when I download from my Nikon P1 Coolpix it takes hours. So far I have not been able to download

    Using IPhoto 11 9.4.3 and OSX 10.8.5 when I download from my Nikon P1 Coolpix it takes hours. So far I have not been able to download a flipping pic. Please help me ?

    Can you clarify:
    it takes hours. So far I have not been able to download a flipping pic
    Either it takes hours to download or you are not able to download at all.
    How are you trying? Have you tried alternatives? A Card Reader? Different USB Cable? When did you last reformat the camera card?

  • Which Updates are required to read RAW files from a Nikon D300

    iPhoto 6 on Tiger can't read RAW (nef) files from my Nikon D300. Can I just update to iLife'08 or do I need Leopard as well?

    AndyMm
    I'm not sure about iPhoto 08, but you will definitely need 10.5.2 for the D300.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1475
    So if you don't want to update to iLife 08, try update to 10.5 first, see if that works for you.

  • Importing from Device (Nikon D300) Problem

    With my Nikon D80, when I "Import from Device" I see thumbnails of all the photos (Nikon RAW .NEF files) available for import to Lightroom and can choose those I want to import.
    However, when doing the same procedure from my Nikon D300 I cannot see previews on the Import from Device screen in Lightroom. All I see are rectangles with a cross through them and the filename.
    Has anyone encountered a similar problem and how did you solve it?
    (If I go ahead and import the .NEF files from the D300, once they are imported there is no problem. They render previews in Lightroom OK. It is just that I cannot see previews in the Import from Device screen and, therefore, can't select which to import and which to ignore.)

    Known issue with the OS - use a card reader instead.

  • How can i import raw files into iphoto from my Nikon D300?

    Just got a Nikon D300, and it will import jpg and tff, but not raw (nef) files-i prefer iphoto to their software- Nikon says to try talking to apple to find a way to do it- does anyone know any info that can help? I need to decide if I am keeping the camera-from other posts it doesn't look like buying aperture will help either- thanks.

    I would not ditch a camera because of this! If you like the camera, there will always be a way to import Canikon RAW files, though you may need to do some upgrading, and it may take some time for Apple to support a new camera.

  • I updated to Lightroom 4.4, and it doesn't recognize RAW files from a Nikon D300s.

    I updated Lightroom this past week to V.4.4.  Now, I cannot import any photos because Lightroom does not recognize the RAW photos.  Prior to the update, it recognized the files and imported photos without any problem.  Now I'm dead in the water.  Any advise as to how to fix this?  Or revert back to a prior version of Lightroom?

    Are you by any chance using Nikon Transfer to copy the files from your memory card to your computer?  If so, that could be the problem because there is a known issue with Nikon Transfer making some small change to each file.  If this isn't the problem, are you using LR to import directly from the camera or from the card via a card reader?  That could be the issue.  Try copying the files using Windows Explorer or Mac Finder to a folder on your hard drive and then see if LR can import from there.  That may help you narrow down the issue.  I have a D300s and have not had this problem with LR 4.4.

  • Over exposure downloading from Nikon D300 to lightroom 2.3

    Following upgrade to Lightroom 2.3 when images are downloaded from my Nikon D300 (raw or jpeg) they are all overexposed after quickly appearing in preview.  How do I correct this.  Is this a camera or software problem
    David Neal

    I had the same problem with a D700.
    Applying the Standard profile will correct the colors but not exposure.
    Another thing to check is that you have not unable Advanced D-Light on your camera. Automode is the worst case because you don't even know how much over exposure is set!
    This camera option is a tricky one: it overexpose your photo and make a built in camera process to recover details in the over/under exposed zones.
    LR is not able to read this information (proprietary info in the NEF raw file) so the photo is over-exposed.
    One way is to use the exposure LR cursor (-0.25 can simulate a light ADL..) but you will never have the same photo because Nikon processing is different and specific for each over/under exposed zones: sometime using the LR exposure brush is necessary on this zones (darken a sky for example).
    Antoher thing is to desactive the Nikon ADL. You will then have nearly the same picture between LR Raw and your embedded Jpeg, you only need to  apply the Standard or Neutral LR profil to correct the colors.
    Then, if you want to recover some details in the over/under exposed zones, you  can add a LR exposure brush on these zones. The good thing is that you control manually what Nikon ADL do automatically...

  • How do i view Nef format pictures downloaded  from  Nikon D300 to Ps Cs3

    Hello,
    Wonder if any one can help.
    Trying to download camera raw format pictures from a Nikon D300 into photoshop CS3. All that can be seen is the icons ( but no picture) . A dialoge box appears with a message saying that 'Ps does not support this type of file' ( ie. Nef) and therefore cannot show it.
    Downoading to Photoshop bridge, the same issue appears where the icons are visible ( but no mininature image is shown.
    many thanks

    Robert-
    If your PSCS3 version is fully upgraded it should read Nikon D300 files via built-in ACR without difficulty. If not, contact Adobe tech support. DNG... no thank you.
    IMO you should also be running under either OS 10.4.11 or 10.5.3.
    ACR works fine if one prefers a Photoshop Bridge or Lightroom workflow, but better NEF conversion (and IMO workflow) is available to owners of strong Macs via Apple's Aperture. Best quality NEF conversions come from Nikon View (free) and from Nikon Capture NX, but IMO Nikon's workflow is lethargic.

  • Unable to see RAW NEF image from Nikon D300 in CS3

    Have Camera Raw Plug-in Version 4.0 in my PS CS3 and am not able to see images from my recently purchased used Nikon D300.  I have no problems seeing the NEF images downloaded from my Nikon D80.  I typically download the images from my camera thru Lightroom 2.4.   Do I need a more recent Camera Raw Plug-in?  I want to make sure I'm still compatible with LR.   Any suggestions will be hellpful.

    Yes, you are outdated with the RAW plug in and probably not able to use the
    correct version that supports your camera.
    You have two options:
    1- upgrade to CS4 and benefit from all other good this has to offer
    2- If you won't or can't upgrade use the DNG route, DNG is a free offered
    (by Adobe) converter. The latest DNG converter will convert your D300 files
    to the open DNG format which will show your RAW (then as DNG but still the
    same quality) files and you will be able to use it in CS3.
    There is lot's of information about in on this page:

  • Downloading from Nikon Coolscan V into Elements 10 on a Mac os x

    Before opting for a trial of Elements 10 I asked in this forum if it was possible to download images from my Nikon Coolscan V scanner onto my Mac OS X via Elements 10. I was advised that I should move the TWAIN plug-in from optional plug-ins (in applications - Elements 10 - support files - import modules) to plug-ins.
    I did this after downloading Elements 10 & moved the TWAIN from the optional plug-ins folder to the plug-ins folder, a simple move. However, in neither the organizer nor the editor can I find any route to downloading from the Nikon. In the organizer - file - get photos & videos - the options are camera or card reader (trying that shows no device found), or other options dealing with importing images from the hard drive. In help, the only mention of assistance with scanners is for Windows only, & no information at all about Macs.
    I'm sure I'm missing something elementary & my general ignorance of Elements 10 is probably a major factor in this - but Elements 10 looks to be a much more versatile tool than the Nikon recommended Silverfast programme (the trial of which downloaded with instantaneous ease from the Nikon). My intention is to use scanned stills in Premiere Pro CS5 so the 'marrying'  of two adobe programmes seems a logical thing to aim for - if I can download & edit my stills from the Nikon scanner into Elements 10 ..any help for a novice would be appreciated greatly!      
    Thanks
    Brian Fanning

    Dear Barbara,
    Thanks for your help (& education) - in Elements editor file, import gives me four options - both anti-aliased pict & pict resource open my finder & I have used the Nikon folder to seek a connection via Nikon scan plug-in 4, (which is grayed & will not open). The other options are HPscan (I have disconnected my HP scanner/printer to simplify things) & frame from video (obviously not relevant here). I have presumed to select the Nikon folder in my Finder for lack of any other logical option to select.
    From your guidance I imagined file, import would name the Nikon Coolscan on the initial list in the editor, but whatever, I still do not know how to link the nikon to Elements. The Nikon scan was uninstalled previously because it was inactive on my Mac, & Nikon advised that this should be the case. I wondered if I should re-install, but when trying the Silverfast software the image was imported instantly via image/ prescan, denoting that the Nikon software was uneeded
    In return for your further assistance I hereby pledge never again to confuse my imports with my downloads!!
    Thanking you

  • Aperture refuses to import from Nikon D300

    After Yesterdays update Aperture refuse to import RAW files from my Nikon D300 as it did before. I get the message "0 images has been imported...".
    I can import to iPhoto and them export to Aperture so the RAW files seems OK.
    And I can still import JPEGS from my small Canon IS850 directly to Aperture
    Larsan

    I am doubting this has to do with updating to Aperture 2.1.2, but rather might be related to Camera RAW 2.3 -- what version of Camera RAW have you installed?
    In the a topic about auto-rotation here, there are confirmed problems with not only auto-rotation, but also recognizing as duplicates any images remaining on the card that have previously been imported. The auto-rotation problem, at least in the Previews, is common to both Aperture and iPhoto 08, so clearly points to CRAW 2.3.
    We need to see if your experience might also be related to CRAW 2.3. I am having no problem importing from a card reader with cards used in my D200 and D300 cameras, however, other than those mentioned in that topic.

  • Photoshop CS6 is not recognizing the raw file from the Nikon D4S.

    Just picked up the Nikon D4S, took some shots to get acclimated and glad I did. When I uploaded them my PS program is telling me, "Camera Raw cannot open this file."  Than when I tried to edit an older image from my Nikon D300S I was getting the same message.
    Can anyone help? I believe I have the most current Camera Raw.  
    Thank You, Tami 

    I have Camera Raw 8.1. I found that I needed 8.4, so I downloaded the 8.4 converter plug in and I was able to open the images. However, I had to go through a few steps & than wait for the files to be converted to a dng file. I hope I don't have to go through these steps every time? Any input would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks so much,
    Tami   

  • Bridge 2.1.1.9 problems with Nikon D300 NEF files

    I am getting a few Raw files from my Nikon D300 that will appear properly in Bridge, but the majority either don't show a preview at all or are very pixelated in appearance. The ones that do appear fine can be opened in ACR by right clicking and selecting "open in camera raw". However, the others that don't appear properly don't even show the option to open in camera raw. Yet the files are okay, because I can then open them from within Photoshop and process the files like that. The other odd behavior is that if I right click the thumbnail and rename the file then the thumbnail preview suddenly appears properly. Lastly, the pixel dimensions show incorrectly until the file is renamed.
    I am using Windows XP SP2 with Photoshop CS3. Any suggestions would be appreciated. This has been very frustrating because initially it appears that the file may be corrupt.
    Thanks!

    This might not be helpful as I do not know why but .. I have a D300, and while Bridge is its usual flakey self, it has worked fine with the file formats. I tried all the combinations of compression and 12/14 bit and bridge sees them.
    I do have cache weirdness, where it seems to reprocess them repeatedly, as though it is forgetful, but it does process and resolve them.
    I've experimented with the "high quality previews" on and off, and when off the quality is definitely lower. Secondly if it is processing (or reprocessing) its cache, I see weirdness in the display where it may not display the quality preview either for a very long time, or not at all. But generally I've had no luck getting bridge to be usable while it processes its cache for a directory, I just let it finish and then use it.
    However none of these flaky issues have been D300 specific, and been using it for a couple months now, and also with a D80 from my wife, no difference.

  • Nikon D300s Movie import

    I see that in November 2009 members of the forum said that 24fps movie clips would not import into iMovie. Has any thing changed that would allow import from a Nikon D300s (Movie Modes: Movie with sound - HD 1280 x 720/24 fps, VGA 640 x 424/24 fps, QVGA 320 x 216/24 fps) into iMovie 09 (8.0.5(820))? If not then iPhoto?

    Load your D300s movie into iPhoto. In iPhoto, double click on the movie icon which will open QuickTime (you need version 10). In QuickTime, choose "Save As" and save the movie in a HD 720p format. Open iMovie and choose "Import..." locate your HD 720p movie file and import the file into iMovie. I hope this will help.
