How can I get Elements 12 to load raw files from my Nikon D5300. I have installed DNG Conv. 8.7.1

I cannot get Elements 12 to recognise and load NEF files from my Nikon D5300. I have downloaded and installed the latest DNG coverter software 8.7.1 but Elements still refuses to load any NEF files.
regards Ian.

Hi,
You shouldn't need to use the DNG converter unless you are using the MAC app version. The D5300 should be supported by Camera Raw 8.3 which should be compatible with Photoshop Elements 12.
In the editor go to Help -> About Plug-in -> Camera Raw to see which version you have loaded. The latest for Photoshop Elements 12 is 8.5. If you have an older one then go to the Help menu and select Updates.
If you are up to date, then you may have use old Nikon software to access the NEF files and that is known to corrupt them so that Photoshop Elements can't read them.

  • How can I locate the original .CR2 /  Raw file from Photos in finder?

    How can I locate the original .CR2 /  RAW file from Photos in the finder window? I would like to know a easier way to open my files and use them in Photoshop than having to go to the Pictures folder, right clicking "show packaged contents", and manually searching for my CR2's / RAW's. It is also ridiculous to have to export the RAW file to my desktop, and then take it into Photoshop or another photo editing program.  I was able to do this in iPhoto and find I cannot do so in Photos. Please help? Can you please consider adding a right click function that says "Show Original file in Finder". That would make it so much easier and better for those of us who want a simple way to access the original files and use them in other editing programs. At least with iPhoto you could go to the top menu / preferences and find your items.

    Rather than use the 'Show package Contents route, the supported and safer way is to export the unmodfied original.

  • Why is Elements 12 not recognising raw files from my Nikon d5300

    What am I doing wrong, the main reason I bought Elements 12 was to regcognise eaw files from my Nikon d5300

  • Cannot open a raw file from my Nikon D800,,,i have downloaded every and i mean every version of raw

    i am up to raw 8.3,,still getting an error message,,,frustrated,,,but still shooting in Tiff,,,would love to see a raw file open

    Unreadable on my computer. I also use a D800, so I know my computer can read them.
    Opening it up in a binary editor, I see the magic words "Nikon Transfer 1.1", which you've already been asked about twice.
    You need to update this software, or use something else. Old versions of Nikon Transfer are known to corrupt recent Nikon cameras' files.
    Read these:

    https://nikoneurope-en.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/50878
    for info on updating or disabling it.
    You will need to download the raw files from the cards again, once you've fixed the problem.
    Personally, I stick my cards in a card reader and use Adobe Photodownloader, which is part of Bridge (which comes with Photoshop).

  • How do I get thumbnails when converting RAW files from Lumix TZ60?

    I recently purchased a Lumix TZ60 camera because of its ability to record in RAW format and am extremely pleased with its performance.
    However, although I am able to convert the RAW files on my iMAC using Adobe DNG Converter (Version 8.7),  the converted files do not have an accompanying thumbnail. This is very frustrating and slows my work flow considerably. Please could you advise me how I can solve this problem.
    I do not experience similar problems with RAW files converted in the same way from my NIkon D7100.

    Did you check the compatibility options in the DNG converter to ensure you have the right version selected for the converted file?

  • How do I get lightroom to import raw files from my samsung nx500?

    I just got a Samsung NX500.  When I try to import raw files into Lightroom 5.7 it won't work.  I tried the update to 5.7.1 that fixed the problems for the NX1 and it still doesn't work.  Any ideas?

    Page 197 - download the DNG converter for Samsung that is listed in their manual. Convert to DNG and import into Lightroom.

  • Is there a way to get Elements 10 to open files from my Nikon D600?

    Or do I really have to buy Elements 11?  Elements 10 does everything I need for editing and I don't want to waste money on an upgrade right now.  Is there ANY way around it?  I've tried downloading the DNG converter, but when I try to open files to convert, none of my RAW files show up, not even from my old camera.  I also tried to install updates for Elements10, including an update for ACR, but that didn't help either.  Is there anything at all that I can do? 

    For Nikon D600, you have to get PSE 11.
    With PSE 10 you cant open the RAW images for D 600
    Check this : http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    For D600, ACR 7.3 is required which is available in PSE 11, not in PSE 10
    Alternatively, you can convert RAW images to DNG using DNG converter and then can view those DNG in PSE 10.

  • Why Won't my Raw files from my Nikon D5300 open in CS4?

    I recently got a new Nikon D5300 and shot in raw for the first time today.  When I tried to view the images with photoshop CS4, a pop up window appeared stating that photoshop does not recognize that type of file, and therefore cannot be opened. Is this a compatibility issue of photoshop vs. camera files or something else?  As a portrait photographer I shoot in RAW 90% of the time so I'm very desperate to get this resolved.

    Yes, it's the never-ending struggle of software keeping up with hardware (cameras) and the eternal compatibility issues between them. Forces users into a never ending upgrade cycle to keep up.
    Camera manufacturers use proprietary Raw files which are specific to each and every camera they make. Every camera is different. So Adobe has to retrospectively add support to the Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) plugin for each Raw file format on a camera by camera basis after the camera has been released to market.
    The D5300 was first supported in Camera Raw 8.3
    Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    ACR8.3 is compatible with CS6 and newer. It is not compatible with CS4 and never will be.
    Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
    Some options:
    PAID: Upgrade to CS6
    PAID: Join the Cloud (subscription only)
    PAID: Join the Photoshop Photography Program (PS CC + LR5) (subscription only)
    https://creative.adobe.com/plans/offer/photoshop+lightroom
    PAID: Buy Lightroom 5
    PAID: Buy Photoshop Elements 12
    FREE OPTION: Download the free Adobe DNG converter, convert all D5300 Raw files to DNGs then edit the DNGs in CS4.

  • NEF RAW files from my Nikon D5300 will not open in Photoshop CS3

    Is there a plug-in or update I can download that will make it possible for my Photoshop CS3 to open NEF files in RAW.
    I noticed a similar discussion a couple of years ago and I followed the advice and as far as I can tell I have the most up-to-date version of my software, and the Camera Raw plug-in is Version 4.6.0.30
    I also have the same problem using CS5. Both versions say they cannot recognize the file type. Can I use a converter to make them a different kind of RAW file, but still a RAW format? I would prefer to simply be able to open them in Photoshop for editing.
    Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks.
    Barb

    I just checked the compatibility list again, and the D5300 requires Camera Raw 8.3 (Not 7.3) or Lightroom 5.3. You have Lightroom 5, but what exact version of Lightroom 5 do you have? It might require that you update your Camera Raw and your Lightroom in order to have support in both Photoshop and Lightroom.
    You can check your version of Camera Raw by going to the help menu in Photoshop, then about plug-ins and then Camera Raw. The dialog that appears will indicate what version of Camera Raw you have installed. It should not be necessary for you to use the DNG converter unless you feel compelled to.

  • Why is my raw files from my Nikon D5300 completely overexposed in Apertue 3 but ok in View NX 2? Do I just have to wait for an update/patch from Apple?

    Can anyone answer the above question?
    Thank you.

    Are you shooting RAW and using in-camera settings, like Active delighting in your Nikon? Then the RAW files will appear in Aperture very different from the JPEG previews that your camera is showing you, and also from the results in Nikon's own software.
    Don't use in-camera setting, if you are shooting RAW, because Aperture will show you the naked RAW file, without any effects applied.
    See Keith Barkley's user tip for a full explanation:
                       The Big Three: Setting your camera for the best Aperture RAW results
    Just in case, that your images are not only overexposed but also desaturated , have a look at this thread:

  • Problem inporting raw files from my Nikon D3200

    i have problems importing raw files from my Nikon D3200, i have tried some of the suggestions such as
    removing the RawCamera.bundle and RawCameraSupport.bundle from the System Library and downloading a newer version (OS X Yosemite: Supported digital camera RAW formats - Apple Support)
    The problem is  --  the latest RAW Compatibility Update version for Yosemite 6.02 appears to be the one I currently am using (in my System Folder).
    In that same article referenced above, my Nikon D800 is listed in an earlier version simply titled "Supported by Yosemite 10.10".
    This had some success but is not working after trying it several times, i am currently on version  OSX Yosemite 10.10.1 and the version of iphoto is 9.6
    any help would be greatly received as i only shoot in Raw

    Remove the RawCamera.bundle and RawCameraSupport.bundle again and update the system to 10.10.2 via the App Store.  That contains the bundles that will support that camera: OS X Yosemite: Supported digital camera RAW formats - Apple Support.  The 6.01 and 6.02 updates are not needed for that camera. Be sure to repair disk permissions after the update.
    As usual be sure you have a backup of your hard drive before applying any such update.
