PS CS3, Camera Raw 4.6 Update and Nikon D810 NEF File Reading Issue

Currently Have Photoshop CS3 & Adobe Bridge CS3 2.1.1.9.
According to Adobe, Camera Raw 4.6 supports Nikon D810 NEF files. I have downloaded Camera Raw 4.6 Update. When
I try to open Nikon D810 NEF files, I get Photoshop CS3 error that says
"cannot complete request your because it is not the right kind of
document. These NEF files wont open in Adobe Bridge at all. What am I doing wrong?

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?

I have Elements 9 and cannot download NEF files from my new Nikon1 v1, any help appreciated

I have Elements 0 and cannot download NEF files from my new Nikon1 V1, any help is appreciated.

PSE 9 is too old for any of the versions of ACR that support the 1 V1. You have three options:
1. Upgrade to PSE 10 or 11.
2. Use the Nikon software to convert the raw files and send the resulting tiffs to PSE for further editing.
3. Try the free Adobe DNG converter, and you should be able to open the resulting DNGs in your version of ACR.

Reading new camera raw files

Waiting until a camera manufacturer supplies you with a new camera and then waiting until you add the code to LR messes everyone up. Why can't you have LR read new camera raw files if the file format is the same as a similar camera as a generic conversion. Then when you do the thing right and add the proper conversion code, then use that conversion.

Because just because a company like Canon or Nikon doesn't change the file
extension doesn't mean the raw files from one camera to another are anywhere
close to being the same. Think about. Raw files is the raw data from the
cameras sensor. This changes from one camera to another. There is no generic
raw data each camera generates something different and that needs to be
taken in to account so that ACR and all other raw processing programs can
handle the data correctly. Otherwise you picture of cousin Lurch could come
out purple with yellow polka-dots.
If you want a generic format tell the camera makers to use DNG. That is
about as generic as you are going to get.

In Photoshop CS5 I have updated my raw-update that was suggested by my updatebutton in my photoshop. But I still can not open my new camera srw-files from my samsung nx300.

You cannot open Raw files from the Samsung NX300 in CS5.

You need Adobe Camera Raw 7.4 or later which is only compatible with CS6 or later.
Some choices:
Upgrade to CS6
Join the Cloud
Join the CCPP
Free option: download the free Adobe DNG converter, convert all Raw files from the NX300 to DNGs then edit the DNGs in CS5

I need to convert Nikon D7000 Camera NEF files. I have a Mac )SX 10.6.8 & Adobe CS4.

I just bought a Nikon D7000 camera & need to convert Nikon RAWS (NEF) files & they are not recognized by my Adobe CS4 on my Mac 0sX 10.6.8
Do I need to update to CS5 or CS6. Also, would like the new software to allow me to still convert older pre-existing RAWS that are in my photo archives.

Easiest one first:

Don't worry. Every newly supported camera model in any given version of Adobe Camera Raw will be supported in ALL subsequent versions of ACR.
The very last version of ACR that will work with CS4 is 5.7.
If your camera in not supported by ACR 5.7, you need to upgrade your version of Photoshop, or download and use the free stand-alone Adobe DNG Converter to convert your raw files to raw DNGs first. Always download the latest versions of said free stand-alone Adobe DNG Converter (3 or 4 per year), currently DNG Converter 7.1. DNGs can be processed with any version of ACR starting with version 2.4.
To see what was the first version of ACR to support your camera model was see:

Does PSE 12 download and edit raw NEF files

I have a new Nikon D7100 and PSE 10. PSE 10 does not support Raw NEF files from this camera. Does PSE 12 download and edit Raw files from the D 7100?

Someone will probably answer this before I finish typing.
Your issue is less with PSE than ACR or Adobe Camera Raw. ACR works a little like a conversion engine to get RAW photos from all the various camera models to Adobe's photo programs. Adobe updates it for recent models every few months. They don't make it backwardly useful to Elements software.
So, you get two choices. You can upgrade PSE that works with the current ACR modules. If you don't want to learn the new interface and tools in PSE 12, you can use the free and downloadable "Adobe DNG Converter" that also is kept up for new camera models. It will batch process you camera files to a more universal RAW format that is useful in the software you have.

How can i get lightroom to support new camera raw files

I am getting a new camera camera. An Olympus 510. It will be coming out soon.
Will Lightroom be able to convert the raw files to dng when Adobe camera raw supports this new raw file? Or will I have to wait for a new version of Lightroom (which we all know is very slow in coming?)

>Or will I have to wait for a new version of Lightroom (which we all know is very slow in coming?)
Do you not ask the obvious? If you buy a car before the tire size is in production-- you won't be driving very far until the calvary arrives -- if it arrives. Adobe is committed to supporting most new DSLRs, but keep in mind there's no guarentee that will always be the case. In the interim, the car company should supply you with the tires -- and maybe even a full tank of gas for their lack of foresight.
Should "very slow" not be fast enough, then why would you even consider buying a camera that isn't supported? Cameras that produce native DNG files, or have been in the market long enough -- are very fast to offer you support. You can't have your cake and eat it too. :~)

V1.3 and Nikon D100 NEF files - Not so good!

I still use a Nikon D100 for underwater work. I recently updated from Lightroom 1.1 to 1.3 and discovered some very strange results when working with NEF files generated by my D100. There is a dark magenta cast overlaid on every file. My D200 NEF files on the other hand look fine. I went back to Lightroom v1.2 and the problem is gone. I called support and they had the same problem on their end. I realize the Nikon D100 is quickly going the way of the Dodo bird but you would think Adobe would have at least tested this still common raw file format before releasing the updated build.
In any event, just a word of caution. If you still work with D100 NEF files I'd suggest not upgrading to 1.3.

Scott - you are experiencing the same confusion that I was. Here is what I did:
1. Google "download dng 4.2" - it should take you to Adobe's site where you can download the converter;
2. Create a folder in Lightroom under the folder where your compressed D100 NEFs - the magenta ones - are located; I titled mine "DNG Conversions";
3. In the DNG converter choose the source folder with the magentaized NEFS and the destination folder as the one you set up in step 2 above, and then "Convert";
4. When the conversion is complete, go into Lightroom, right-click the new folder and synchronize it. All of the new DNG files should appear in the "import" window. Once the new DNGs are imported (i.e., the new folder is synched), you should be able to work with them in Lightroom normally, magenta free.
I'm a novice user of Lightroom and had never done anything with the DNG converter...as such was really confused - didn't realize it meant you had to take the conversion process outside of Lightroom and then re-import the new images. Hope this helps. Best -

RAW, Aperture 2 and new camera

Hello,
I will in few days with a new Olympus E420 camera when it will be availlable.
I saw that SONY also has released a lot of new reflex camera also.
Do you know in Aperture application, if the support of this new camera is fast, or if we have to wait for a long time to have the support of the new camera ?
In fact, I don't know exactly if the suport is in Mac OS 10.5, or in Aperture, but I know that I want to develop the Raw files with Aperture 2...
Thank-you for your help.
Xavier

Olympus cameras do not have great Apple support for their raw formats. Your E420 may have hope of support since I see that the E400 and E410 raw files are on Apple's support list. I have a nifty Olympus compact, SP500-OUZ wide angle to 18x zoom, which produces the raw format ORF that I can only view and edit with Adobe or Olympus products. Needless to say, I was hoping that ORF files would have support in Aperture 2 (and iPhoto). I wish Apple could use the same driver software as Adobe so that I could just use the same driver with both Photoshop and Aperture. My primary camera is a Canon 30D which does produce raw files that work well in Aperture 2 so now I just shoot jpeg format photos with the Olympus.

How do I find BOTH the raw and the cameras jpeg files?

I've got Aperture 3 importing raw plus jpegs from my Nikon D600 camera. The D600 produces amazing jpegs!
Aperture is set to use the raw file as the master.
I'd hoped that I'd have access to both the raw AND the camera jpeg but I only see the raw file and as soon as I open it, the cameras jpeg is replaced by something that aperture generates. It's quite frustrating because the jpegs from my Nikon look fantastic but only for a couple of seconds before aperture replaces them with a horrible, jpeg.
I want to have access to both the camera's jpeg and the raw file. Aperture's jpegs just aren't that good compared to the Nikon original jpegs. Not even close!
Is there any way that I can get back my Nikon camera's jpegs or are they gone, forever?
Thanks in advance!

For some unknown reason, although I can see both the "Use JPEG as Original" and the "Use RAW as Original", both of these menu items are grayed out?
A couple of ways this can happen is (1) if only one format is actually on the camera's card (i.e., the camera's Quality setting is incorrect), or (2) if "Import RAW files only" or "Import JPEG files only" was selected in the RAW+JPEG Pairs panel in the import dialog. So (1) are you sure the card contains RAW and JPEG images (e.g., have you looked at it with Finder), and (2) what setting was used during import?

Not sure what you mean by this statement. By design Aperture doesn't "replace" anything. Can you clarify?

Lightroom 5.7, latest ACR and DNG converter don't support my new D7200 NEF files.

When will they be updated to do so? This should be a very popular camera. I'm crippled until I can shoot and process RAW files.

How do I convert already imported and edited RAW (NEF) files + it's Sidecar file, to DNG?

Using Lightroom 4 now on a Mac. I have an extensive number of RAW (NEF) + Sidecar combos, that I wish to convert in groups, if possible, to DNG format, so the data of the sidecards is retained, and the DNG created does not need to be reedited from its origional camera state. What is the best way of doing this with a large number of files?

Does Library>Convert Photo to DNG not do this?
Edit: just checked. It does. While the DNG replaces the file in Lightroom, the Raw and the XMP are still there on the disk.

Photoshop Elements 10 plug-in required for the new Camera RAW file format used by the new Canon 6D

I have a new Canon 6D and prefer to use Camera RAW. This new file format is not compatable with Elements 10. A new plug-in maybe is required.
Can anyone help?
Regards,
gordo422209

I can't find Canon 6D in the list of supported cameras for even ACR 7.3. I would thus suggest you converting your raw files to dng using dng convertor tool and then open the dng files in ACR.
Download and install the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your raw files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the files will open in all versions of PSE (keep your original raw files as backups and for use in the manufacturers software)
Windows download click here DNG Converter 7.2
Mac download click here DNG Converter 7.2
You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

I have done the latest updates on my photoshop, it is version 14.2.1. What I try to open a file from my Nikon D800 camera NEF file, I get a message saying Photoshop cannot open this file.Can anyone help me with this?

The message says Ïf you are attempting to open a RAW file, make sure you have the latest update installed. I have completed all the latest updates today but still get this message.

Sorry to hear your Adobe experience has been less than stellar. I'll try to help...
1. Photoshop 14.2.1 is now two releases out of date. You might want to go to your Creative Cloud application and ask it to install Photoshop CC (2014). Earlier this year Adobe released 2014.0 as a separate install that can live side by side with 14.2.1. Then just a few days ago they released 2014.1 as an in-place upgrade to 2014.0.
2. You may be able to update Camera Raw directly to version 8.6 by a link from this page:

Best of luck to you. Please let us know here if these things help.
