Elements 11: Updated to ACR 7.4 but unable to open Nikon D7100 NEF Files

Elements 11: Windows 7: Updated to ACR 7.4.0.137 but still unable to open Nikon D7100 NEF Files

The Nikon Transfer that came with your camera should be ok, but if you’re using an older one, then it can change things in the raw files’ metadata that makes them unrecognizable to Adobe software.
There is a utility for fixing any NEFs corrupted by Nikon Transfer:

  • Elements 9 won't open Nikon D7100 NEF files

    I recently upgraded from a Nikon 7000 to a Nikon D7100 DSLR camera.  Historically I was able to open and process NEF files in Photoshop Elements 9 from my D7000.  But now it will not open those files.  I clicked on the Help/Update link and it says my version is fully updated.  What do I have to do to be able to open these NEF files as I did before with those files from my D7000?
    Thanks...RDK

    Support for the D7100 was added to ACR 7.4 so you'll need PSE11 or later to open them directly. You can either use the Nikon software to convert them or the free Adobe DNG converter to convert them to DNG files that PSE9 can open.
    Cheers,

  • I have Ltrm 3.6 and Photoshop CS6.  I have updated them but cannot copy my Nikon D7100 NEF files to my Windows XP computer.

    Is there a download that will let me use my new camera NEF files on my old computer?

    You need LR 4.4 or newer to work with photos from a D7100 natively.
    You can download, install and run the DNG Converter 4.4 or newer to convert a folder of NEFs to DNGs and those DNGs will open in an older version of LR.
    The DNG Converter is available no this page.  Keep in mind that the latest versions require a newer OS than XP but older versions should be ok:

  • Opening Nikon D600 NEF files using PhotoShop CS4 11.0.2 and ACR 5.7.0.213

    Hello,
    I've just bought a Nikon D600.
    I have Photoshop CS4 11.0.2 and ACR 5.7.0.213. 
    With these versions, I'm unable to open the D600 NEF files.  I get the following message:
    "Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document"
    Yet I can view the NEFs in other software that pre-dates the D600, e.g. FastStone Image Viewer 4.6.
    Does anybody know if I can get a plug-in from Adobe for PS CS4 that allows me to edit D600 NEFs?
    Many thanks for any help.
    Regards,
    Aisling

    Either upgrade to Photoshop CS6 or download the free DNG Converter and covert your NEFs to DNG.

  • Opening Nikon D80 NEF files in Elements 5

    I cannot open NEF files from my Nikon D80 camera. Also, Nikon D80 camera isn't listed in the RAW files section for 4.1 new download. How will I be able to open files from the Nikon D80, if the 4.1 new download doesn't support this?

    Camera Raw is updated about four times each year. In most cases, the update is primarily to add compatibility for new cameras. Each new camera that takes raw images must have support added for it, not just the brand but the specific model. Support for your camera was added after the release of Photoshop Elements 5. Adobe does not create new installation disks every time Camera Raw is updated. It is your responsibility to download the updated Camera Raw when it becomes available and install it correctly on your computer.
    The message you are receiving is the message that is displayed when there isn't support for a specific camera. So you need to go to the download section and download ACR 4.1 and replace the version that you have installed right now. There is a link to the download at the very top of this forum. Be sure to follow the installation instructions precisely.

  • Can not get Elements to open Nikon D3s nef files.

    I have Elements 8 running on a Imac and a MacBook Pro. All updates have been installed. Neither will open D3s 'nef' files. What am I doing wrong? These files will open on a Mac Pro using CS4.
    Thanks

    You need to make sure you have the latest version of Adobe Camera Raw as the D3s is a recent model supported by ACR 5.6.
    To check for the plug-in open Full Edit and go to Help > About Plug-in > Camera Raw and you should see the version installed.
    If you don’t see it, or you have an earlier version than 5.6.0.148 use one of the following links to download the update.

  • Photoshop CS3 Camera Raw Update: unable to open Nikon D5200 Raw files

    I have a Nikon D5200, so I cannot view my raw files (.NEF) files in photoshop CS3 and I downloaded the Camera Raw 4.6 update, and installed it using the manual installation instructions found here: Adobe - Photoshop : For Windows : Camera Raw 4.6 update. After restarting photoshop and attempting to open a .NEF file, I still receive the error "Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document. I have also tried previous updates (4.5 and 4.4.1) and they have also not worked. How can I fix this?

    Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    The D5200 is supported in Camera Raw 7.3 and later. Older versions of Camera Raw cannot read D5200 Raw files.
    Raw 7.3 is only compatible with CS6, CC or CC 2014
    Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
    So you'll never be able to open Raw D5200 files in CS3.
    Why doesn’t my version of Photoshop or Lightroom support my camera?
    Choices: buy CS6 or join the Cloud.
    Free alternative: download the Adobe DNG converter, convert all D5200 Raw files to DNGs then open the DNGs in CS3

  • How to fix Adobe Elements 11 not opening Nikon D7100 raw files?

    Installed Adobe Elements last night and installed the Raw Converter 7.4.  Everything worked fine yesterday. Today it will not open the raw files. Uninstalled and reinstalled, same problem!

    Are these the same raw files or different ones?
    If using Nikon Transfer or other Nikon software ensure you have installed the version for your camera model as older versions of Nikon software can corrupt the latest NEF’s.
    Try testing by shooting a few new raw images and opening directly into Elements, without touching them.
    Also check that ACR 7.4 is properly installed, from Expert Mode.

  • Opening Nikon D7000 raw files in Elements 8

    I am unable to open Nikon D7000 NEF files in Elements 8. I have been unsuccessfull in downloading the version 5.7 update from the web site. After downloading several times the files are still not recognized in Elements 8.

    I am using Windows 7. I tried selecting the folder that contained the folder holding the pictures to be converted. I then single-clicked the folder holding the pictures and hit select. A message came up stating that the source folder did not contain any supported camera raw files.I have spoken with my Elements software supplier and this is his response:
    "I've done some digging and it turns out the Nikon D7000 wasn't supported in elements until the release of version 6.4 Adobe Camera Reader.So to make sure you have the latest ACR update installed. You can check which one you have by going into elements and clicking Help>About Plug-In>Camera Raw. And if it's not 6.7 then Help>Updates will find it and let you install the latest version. You could also try saving your camera files as .RAW instead of .NEF, and then opening them in elements. Adobe lightroom 4 should already have these plugins available right outside the box, but if you can save the money and run updates instead that would work just fine." I have checked for Elements updates for the Camera Raw plug-in and the message appears stating no updates are available. The camer raw plug-in version is currently 6.1.0.250.

    What operating system are you using?
    The most common cause is pointing the dng converter to the actual files and not just to the folder that the camera raw files are in.
    There is an example of how on a windows system in this thread:

  • PS Elements 10 and D7100 NEF Files

    How do I open Nikon D7100 NEF files with Photoshop Elements 10?

    Yes, it will never be upgraded.  If your camera is not included in ACR 6.7 or earlier, you will need to buck up and buy new stuff.  Either that or stick with legacy cameras.
    Doesn't it seem odd that consumers will invest in an expensive camera with out giving thought to the software they need to go with it? 
    At some point you can expect ACR to move to an 8.x series.  Elements 11 uses the 7.x series.  You can assume there will be an Elements 12 release in the Fall.  It won't be until then that you will know what ACR versions will be used.  If you buy a camera released in 2014, odds are you will need to get 2014 software too.
    I went through a series of new cameras and camcorders since I bought Elements 9.  To get the best out of each camera and the counterpart Elements capabilities I bought both 10 and 11.  There was also the expense of books and online training courses. 
    I am now very pleased with the combination of software, computer, cameras, printer and display screens I have.  I have taken an oath to myself to not mess with the balance between it all and devote my efforts to mastering my collection.
    Adobe is not going to update ACR for Elements 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, etc either!  Can you imagine what it would take to make ACR backward compatible to so many versions? 
    In fact, Adobe is switching their pro strategy to online "rental" from the Creative Cloud which will make the entire "keep it current" process easier for those that make their living with imaging software.

    Hey,
    Before I purchased, let me get your thoughts on another option that just occurred to me which involves:
    1)Editing my D810 NEF files in LR 5.6, which I have, then exporting/saving the edited files as JPEGs.
    2) Doing any additional editing, as necessary (i.e. that might require layering or selections..etc) , with the JPEGs  with Bridge or PS CS3. 
    This method wont involve any additional software purchase now.. right?    Am I missing anything.   here?    Since my final output to my customers are JPEGs any way, wont this work?   Will I be at any disadvantage.   Am I missing anything.   here?
