HELP!  iMac won't show my Nikon D800 NEF files.

Nikon D800 NEF files will transfer from my Nikon D800 to my iMac, but they will show only as a "list" in the folder that I transfer them to.  They will not show as thumbnails, nor open with "image preview".  Tiff and JPEGs will transfer and show as thumbnails and open with all my processing programs.  But I need to be able to see the NEF thumbnails on my iMac. The NEF's will also not open in Adobe Lightroom.   Image files will open with Camera Raw and Photoshop CS6 even though they don't show as thumbnails.  Everything worked until I installed Snow Leopard.
I have:
Photoshop CS6 13.0  64 bit
Camera Raw 7.1.0.354
Snow Leopard OSX 10.6.8
Nikon Transfer 2  Vers.  2.3.1
Adobe Bridge 5.0.0.399
Computer  info:  iMac Intel Core 2 Duo, 86 Gb on Hard Drive, 3 GB Ram.  Camera connected directly to computer with supplied USB cable.
Desperate for any help. Thanks

The same comments I gave for the D750 apply to the D5100 because both cameras are newer than what the maximum ACR 4.x version you can update PS CS3 to.

  • Just imported picture library from Aperture - Can't view Nikon D800 NEF files in LR5.7.1

    I have a Nikon D50 nef on my desktop. Double-clicking on it opens Photoshop, which launches Adobe Camera Raw. If you get that far and can make adjustments in the ACR panel, you are fine. That's what opens first.
    Then you click "Open" in ACR and your nef opens in Photoshop and the document tab on top gives the .nef extension. You make your edits there, but if you close Photoshop, you won't save it as nef, it won't be in the Save file list. You save it as psd for example and close Photoshop.
    You now have a nef with develop settings on your desktop and the psd you saved out of Photoshop.
    All perfectly normal as J.J. said, Photoshop will edit the nef file, but it will be saved in a format other than nef.

  • Raw plugin 8.2 doesn't open nikon d800 nef files in photoshop cc and bridge

    raw plugin 8.2 doesn't open nikon d800 nef files in photoshop cc and bridge

    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.

  • Will there ever be an upgrade for Lightroom 3 that will work with Nikon d800 NEF files?

    Will there ever be an upgrade to Lightroom 3 that will work with Nikon D800 NEF files?

    Why not use Lightroom 4 instead?
    I mean, assuming you can get it running fast enough, you'll usually get better results with PV2012 - right? And in the cases where you prefer PV2010 (if there are any), it's there too...

  • Aperture 3.4.1 cannot open my Nikon d800 NEF files?

    Before updating to Aperture 3.4.1 i had no Problems to work with my Nikon d800-NEF-Files. Now, after updating, I cannot open the D800 Files. All other NEFs (D700,D7000,D3s) are working.
    I tried to reinstall RAW 3.11, but that doesnt work.
    What else can I do?

  • Nikon D800 NEF-files in LR4

    Is there some kind of issue with these as I receive several errors during import? Also I can not open any D800 NEF-files in Photoshop Elements 9 and as I googled this, I received answers about some Camera Raw version which is not compatible with Nikon's latest one... Please help, new camera and would really not want to receive these kind of problems.

  • Nikon d800 nef files cant import

    Having trouble importing nefs from d800 into Lightroom from USB card reader.
    Cant see images or outlines from import location - mesage - no images
    System win 7, 24 g ram
    Lightroom 4.2
    Photoshop cs6
    Camera raw 7.2.0.46
    Card formatted in D800
    Upgraded to deal with D800 nef files - disappointed at this stage
    Others are not having trouble so it appears like something I am doing or not doing that is the problem
    Assistance in finding a solution appreciated
    Thanks in anticipation

    LR4.2 and ACR 7.2 will open D800 files, as will LR 4.1 and ACR 7.1 and even ACR 6.7.with CS5.  The files may be corrupted.
    Have you used any software to copy the files from the card to the computer hard-drive, other than LR or Windows Explorer?
    To test whether the files are corrupted coming off the card, try some sample D800 files from DPReview’s site, and if those work but the files from your camera don't the files from your camera are corrupted.  The main issue people have had is that they've used an old Nikon Transfer V1 which trashes the headers of the newest Nikon cameras in ways that make them unrecognizable to Adobe software.  Another issue could be some USB drivers that are a bit iffy.  A suggestion would be to use Windows Explorer to copy files from your memory card to your computer's C drive then try importing from there.
    Use the yellow “Real World…” links near the end of this page for sample D800 raws:

  • Camera Raw (7.0.0.308) doesn't open Nikon D800 NEF file after re-installing Photoshop CS6 (13.0.6 x64) Help!

    Well, the title sort of sums it up. Ohyeah, and updater tells me photoshop is up to date.
    I had this version of photoshop running for about a year with no problems, after doing a clean instal of my macbook an re-installing of photoshop CS6, camera raw doesn't open my D800's files anymore.
    All help is appreciated! Thanks!

    What OS are you running?  Perhaps it is too old to be updated to the latest ACR plug-in.
    If it turns out that you need to manually install the plug-in, due to the age of your OS, you can try the process described, here, which is for rolling back ACR 8.4 to ACR 8.3, but the same thing would work to replace ACR 7.0 with ACR 8.3:

  • Nikon D800 NEF upload issues

    I have new copies of Photoshop CS6, Bridge CS6 and Lightroom 4.3 - all from Creative Cloud.  Additionally, I have a new Adobe DNG converter and a test copy of Elements 11.  None of these programs will recognize Nikon D800 NEF files, even though Adobe specifically lists this format as supported.  I have tried to update all of these programs but that makes no difference.
    At this time I cannot contact Adobe - they might as well be in an alternate universe.  Any Help appreciated.

    If your using nikon transfer, then older versions are known to corrupt the newer camera raw files in such a way that adobe programs won't read them.
    The newest version of nikon view from the nikon website should include an updated version of nikon transfer that won't corrupt the files.
    As an experiment you might try taking a few pictures and transferring them to your computer without using nikon transfer and see if that makes a difference.

  • Nikon D800 NEFs - why Colourdifferences  in LR4 and PS ?

    Why do my Nikon D800 NEF files, opened from LR4 (here looking ok) into PS Elements 11, get completely different colours? - when they just dragged into PS 11 from a private folder don`t ?
    Dare not use LR at the moment, thinking,  the differences are too severe to just "treat back",  by heavy adjustments.
    Could anyone experienced help -  what to do, is it just a matter of clicking somewhere, adjusting something ?  Or exists general problems with Nikons colourprofiles ? 
    With thanks Eva

    Several threads on this.  Bottom line - known issue, will be fixed.

  • Rendering of Nikon D800 NEF images still slow in LR 5.2

    Hi,
    I just checked whether the update to 5.2 would improve speed of rendering images in the Develop module for Nikon D800 NEF files but alas, LR is still taking its time to render images and going back and forth between two or more D800 NEF files to check focus at 100% magnification remains an excercise in meditation....
    I had initially hoped that the move from LR 4.x to LR 5 would improve things but this wasn't the case - so when will Adobe finally catch up with the development in cameras with ever bigger files? The Nikon D800 came out one full year ago...
    Has anyone looked into this issue and found workarounds (for instance by using the new Smart previews)?
    Cheers!

    Yes - speed is improved by using smart previews. Contrary to how some people think it should be, you may need to take them offline for maximum performance benefit, but note: when doing so you will no longer be able to view at 100% magnification. - try it and please report any differences you find, or don't find...
    There are some system issues that may affect performance too, but trying to lay them all out here is beyond scope for me, and anyway has been done in numerous other threads.
    PS - Consider giving numbers so other D800 users (or equivalent resolution) can help give you a feel for whether you're experiencing normal slow or abnormal slow.

  • Windows 8.1 Photoshop CS5.1 D800 NEF Files won't open?

    I have recently installed windows 8.1 and as a result I had to reinstall Photoshop CS5.1. After doing so I find that Photoshop will not open my Nikon D800 NEF files. I have downloaded and installed the raw file updates from both Windows and Nikon but the files still are not recognized by CS5.1. The files did open with no problems when I was running Windows 7.
    Any suggestions?

    What you need to update is the Camera Raw plugin in Photoshop (ACR). Reinstalling Photoshop reverts ACR to the shipping version.
    You need the very latest ACR version that will run under Photoshop CS5, which is ACR 6.7. This was also the first ACR version to support the D800.

  • Lightroom 4 Unable to Open Certain Nikon D800 NEFs

    I have found support for Nikon D800 NEF files incomplete in Lightroom 4 with ACR 7.0.
    NEF files created by the camera in 16:9 mode using the shutter release set to take stills (setting g4) cannot be previewed or imported in LR 4.
    Setting g4 and the 16:9 mode are discussed in the Nikon D800/D800E User Guide on pages 324 and 68 respectively.
    Photoshop with ACR 7.1 beta seems to be able to open these files.
