Help please- Lion wont recognise Nikon RAW files [nef]

Hello all, posted this issue on a number of forums to no avail - basically been using my iMac with Lightroom to download and process photos from my Nikon D300s and D90 for over a year - then I upgrade to Lion and it all stops [no other changes]. Now the D300s isn't visible at all and the D90 is visible but only offers the chance to "save" the NEF files elsewhere. Having been forced to download my NEF to an old mac mini and into iphoto I know its not the cameras, the cable or the memory card. I have checked I have the most upto date software on the cameras and the latest version of lightroom so it would appear Lion has either messed up some settings or Lion can't cope with NEF files - can anyone help this is really maddening! Thanks in anticipation

What you need to do is update your camera raw files on PE7. You need the camera raw 4.5 update. The instructions are on the download page.

  • IPhoto 09 not reading Nikon raw files (.nef) properly?

    Hey everyone. Over the weekend I upgraded from Leopard to Snow Leopard. Everything seemed to be working correctly until I started using iPhoto. Since the upgrade, I've noticed that photos that I imported from a Nikon D700 seem to look pixelated. I took it to a Genius Bar and the dude helping me was at a loss. He said to try and re-install Snow Leopard, which I did, and that didn't help. I went back and he upgraded me to iPhoto 09...also didn't help. He said he thinks that maybe it's Snow Leopard/iPhoto bug. He said that it's not reading the raw files correctly and seeing them as thumbnails. We looked at the photo info of a random photo, and even though it was a large 10MB file (indicative of raw format) its pixels were 160x160. Weird. Also of note, both Photoshop and Lightroom view and display all photos correctly.
    If anyone has any suggestions or solutions on how to fix this it'd be much appreciated!!

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.

    That means that what you're seeing is the jpeg Preview inside the NEF and not the actual file.
    My guess is that the your Camera Raw bundle is damaged.
    Go to
    HD / System / Library / Core Services / RawCamera.bundle
    What version of this do you have?

  • Converting Nikon raw file

    Hi Folk,
    Having converting Nikon raw files (NEF) I found that MB25 in NEF became MB 51 in DNG.
    Is it normal? Can I have more data than in the original?
    Thanks
    Shaul

    Yes, it's normal. DNG is a more generalized intermediate format and may require to fill in info just for compatibility reasons like padding chroma sub-sampling and the like.

  • Big Colour and detail changes between Original Nikon RAW files and the images created on the Preview page!

    Big Colour and detail changes between Original Nikon RAW files and the images created on the Preview page! Yes there are distinct visual changes when I preview my Nikon NEF RAW Files.Please note I do not use iPhoto at all.
    If you view it as a contact sheet straight from the original folder there are no alterations but the moment you double click and want to 'Preview' it, this new preview page introduces very noticeable distortions : lighter shading goes missing and colour goes darker e.g orange turns red and mid blue goes deep blue!  Alarmingly the little column on the left of the preview page showing the collection shows the original file colours and then after a few seconds show the new distorted image...you can see this visible change and it takes place after a few seconds once you double click! Also if you use Apple's 'Cover Flow' to preview, this function will replace your original RAW file with the new 'altered preview' image!
    I have raised this with Apple but they have yet to reply...has anyone ever experienced this? I have used my Mac book for 18months only noticed it about 5 days ago!
    I went to Apple store and we tried it in other laptops and Macs and it happened to all of them so we think this is a software issue and not down to the laptop.
    Any help is much appreciated!

    BOILERPLATE TEXT:
    Note that this is boilerplate text.
    If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
    such as your platform (Mac or Win),
    exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
    your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
    the type of file you were working on,
    machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
    what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
    what error message(s) you receive,
    if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
    if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
    A screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too,
    etc.,
    someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster, who is not a Windows user).

  • Please Please Please:let me rating my raw files in the iPad and then sync with LR.

    Please Please Please:let me rating my raw files in the iPad and then sync with LR.

    definitely the battery wont be the problem.
    The important thing is that the IPAD already can see the RAW files;)
    would be very useful to make the rating in it.
    have the option of cataloging all the pictures of a event 
    anywhere !!!! even in standing up position
    hope I explained correctly (English is not my primary language)

  • I downloaded the new version of bridge and it wont open the raw files on my mac.

    I downloaded the new version of bridge and it wont open the raw files on my mac.

    hello and thank you for your suggestion. I have tried it and, when trying to open a program which I previously was able to, still get the following message:
    Remote XUL
    This page uses an unsupported technology that is no longer available by default in Firefox.
    Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem.
    Seems unbelievable that I previously had no problem and now I do. Have you any suggestions to overcome this? Do you think I can go back further in Firefox history to get a version that will make it possible to access this. Many thanks! Lynn

  • When I open a raw file (NEF Nikon 7100)  and apply setting then click save, I get an error ( could not complete your request because of a program error ). Ideas?

    Oh, dear.
    If you use PSE as your external editor for iphoto, you need to save the images back to iphoto by using Save, not Save As and not changing anything like the name or format that would bring up the Save As window. (You may need to adjust the editor prefs>saving files>on first save to save over existing.)
    OR you can export the photos from iphoto to the desktop, use file>open in the editor and then change whatever you want and either import the saved image to the organizer or import it back to iphoto as a new file. What you are doing is extremely risky, particularly to the iphoto library which you may easily damage by your workflow.
    I would start the organizer holding down the shift key, then create a new catalog and switch to the new one. Then try opening the editor without opening an image and see if you get any farther.
    PSE and iphoto are not designed to be used as you've been doing. You are trying to write to the iphoto library from outside iphoto, which is the fastest known way to corrupt the library and lose all your photos.

  • Adobe camera raw 4.6 and nikon raw files from the d700

    when opening a nikon raw file from the new d700, the picture appeares almost 1 step brighter than if you open the same picture in nikons capture nx2 software. the same happens when you do so with the new camera raw support in apples aperture - also almost 1 step to bright.

    >I expected that a raw file shows up the same in every raw-converter.
    Your expectation is wrong. Every RAW converter will give you a different interpretation of the data. There is no single accepted way of interpreting RAW.
    >shouldn't that be so?
    Not really. I think what makes RAW so interesting is that you are not tied to the camera maker's interpretation of the data. This gives one far more versatility to get to your desired result. Of course, if you prefer the camera maker's interpretation, youu can use their software to develop the RAW or you can use the beta profiles in ACR/Lightroom and get
    close to identical rendering. I don't know if Adobe released any beta camera profiles for the D700 yet though.

  • I have Photoshop CS5 and a Nikon D 810 camera.  I have downloaded Camera Raw 8.8 & DNG converter.  I can neither open the raw files (.nef), nor process them with the DNG converter. What is going wrong?

    This is the last paragraph from my very first response to you, post #1 in this thread:
    …Additionally, you need to install the DNG Converter, not just "download" it, and you need to launch it and run it on each folder of NEFs you wish to convert to raw DNGs.  [emphasis added]

    i cannot open nikon raw files from my 3200 in elements 8

    You would need PSE11 since the 3200 requires ACR version 7.1
    Only PSE11 can have 7.1, so to be able to use your raw files with PSE9 you should download the free Adobe DNGconverter which can batch convert a whole folder of raw files into the Adobe raw DNG format which your PSE8 can open.

  • Lastest camera raw update doesn't work. Bridge no longer recognises my raw files.

    I'm using CS 6 and lastest camera raw update doesn't work. Bridge no longer recognises my raw files.

    Let's see if I can simplify it for you...are you using CS6 (yes, it seems), are you having ACR problems (yess it seems). So, do you want to fix your issues? Then read this (pay close attention to the details)...
    http://helpx.adobe.com/bridge/kb/acr-84-bridge-cs6-metadata.html
    It pretty much says you need to download a different version of ACR and install it (if it's not too diffucult for you to understand) to get ACR & Bridge to work properly...or not. Your choice...
