Make sure you are running the latest version LR 4.1.

  • I have LR2 but not able to access nef files from my Nikon D800

    Unable to access nef files from my Nikon D800.

    You need Lightroom 4.1 or later (the current version is 5.7.1 but will not run on Windows Vista or XP and certain Mac operating systems, if that's an issue)
    You could also download the FREE Adobe DNG Converter version 7.1 or later and convert your RAWs to DNG and import those into your Lightroom 2.

  • Can't open NEF files from my Nikon D800

    I am running Mac OX 10.6.8, Photoshop 13.6.1 x64, Camera Raw 7.1.0354 and Lightroom 4.4.
    Now Camera Raw and Lightroom won’t open raw files from my Nikon D800. Why is this!??!?
    My iMac is model year 2006 and can't be upgraded to Mavericks (thank you Apple!)

    1.— First, be glad your machine can't run the extremely buggy Mavericks OS. 
    2.—Did you mean Photoshop 13.0.6 ?  There's no such thing as Photoshop 13.6.anything.
    3.— The current version of ACR is ACR 8.4.  You should ALWAYS update to the latest version.  Once a camera model is supported, it will be supported in all subsequent releases of ACR.
    Beside new camera support, each ACR update contains any number of unannounced, unheralded bug fixes, improvements and enhancements.

  • How do I edit Raw files from a Canon 5D using Elements 9?

    How do I edit Raw files from a Canon 5D mark 111 using Elements 9?

    The 5D mk III is supported in PSE 10 with ACR 6.7 update.
    You could download and install the latest DNG converter and use that to convert the CR2 files to DNG files (still RAW format). Then you can edit the DNG files using PSE 9.

  • How can I open raw files from my Nikon D7100 in CS4 or CS5?

    How can I open raw files from my Nikon D7100 in CS4 or CS5?

    Andy,
    In the simple and short form, what happens with the ACR (Adobe Camera RAW) module is that it gets updated with regularity, to accommodate the camera mfgr's. changes for their newer models. That ACR works within the host program, such as Ps, PsElements, Lightroom, etc.. At a point, Adobe ceases to support older host program versions. When that happens, the user has a few options:
    Upgrade the host program version
    Use another host program, such as PsElements or Lightroom
    Use the free DNG converter, per Curt's suggestion. That is not host program dependent
    Glad that the DNG Converter works for you.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • Have CS 5 Installed on my iMac and works ok. But installed on my new MacBook Pro it won't open NEF files from my Nikon D810. Displays NEF icons, but when I try and open them the response is: Make sure latest RAW updates are installed. If problem persists

    Have CS 5 Installed on my iMac and works ok. But installed on my new MacBook Pro it won't open NEF files from my Nikon D810. Displays NEF icons, but when I try and open them the response is: Make sure latest RAW updates are installed. If problem persists follow link: http://www.adobe.com/go/kb407111. Have installed Bridge 5.0.2.4; Raw Ref Version 7.0.0.308; DNG converter_8_7_1.dmg; Bridge 5.0.2 Update 2. Also same problem with Lightroom which I don't normally use. Lightroom_3_LS11_mac_3_6.dmg installed.

    In the link you posted it states that the Nikon 810 requires ACR 8.6 or newer.
    Version of ACR are specific to versions of Photoshop. You cannot use 8.6 nor even 7.0.in CS5.
    I believe that ACR 6.7 is the latest that will work with CS5, so make sure you have this installed and get rid of ACR 7.
    Having 2 versions of ACR will cause problems.
    You have already downloaded DNG Converter 8.7.1.
    Have you double clicked the DMG file to allow you to install DNG Converter on your computer?
    Be aware that DNG converter is a stand-along application and not a plug-in.
    You need to open DNG converter at select the FOLDER that contain your .NEF files.
    Don't open the folder and try to select individual files, it doesn't work that way.
    After converting your D810 files to DNGs you can then open the DNGs in CS5
    The problem is your camera didn't exist when CS5 & its version of ACR was developed.
    i don't use Lightroom, but the list mentions Lightroom 5.6 as needed to open D819 so your 3.6 version of LR won't cut it.

  • Why cannot I open NEF files from a Nikon D600 with Photoshop CS5?

    When I try to open raw NEF files from a Nikon D600 with Photoshop CS5 I get: "Could not complete your request because the file appears to be from a camera model which is not supported by the installed version of Camera Raw"
    Nikon D600, however, is among the camera models listed as compatible with Camera Raw CS5.
    I have never had any problem in Camera Raw CS5 and older versions with raw NEF files from a Nikon D80 camera.
    Is there an update for CS5 to make it compatible with Nikon D600 raw NEF files?
    Many thaks in advance.

    Which verison of camera raw do you have installed? I would update to the latest camera raw plug in. Here is a link to 6.7

  • How do I open RAW files from the Nikon D4s in photoshop?

    How do I open RAW files from the Nikon D4s in Photoshop? I have the updated newest version.

    The Nikon D4S is a brand new camera which has just been added by Adobe to Camera Raw 8.4.

    8.4 has not yet been finally released but you can download and install a pre-release copy for CS6 and CC (it is not compatible with CS5 and earlier)

  • I am having trouble opening .nef raw files from a nikon d800 in elements 9.

    I am having trouble opening .nef raw files from a nikon d800 in elements 9.
    I have tried to update ACR to the latest version but can not tell if this has been successful
    I just get the message "wrong type of file"

    For the D800 you have two alternatives:
    (1) Upgrade to PSE 11. (2) 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 originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software)
    Windows download click here DNG Converter 7.3
    Mac download click here DNG Converter 7.3
    You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

  • When will we be able to read NEF files from a NIKON 5200?

    Just got a Nikon D5200. Photoshop and Bridge cannot read NEF files from this camera. It worked fine with my D3100 camera. When will we be able to read NEF files from a NIKON 5200?

    Welcome to the forum!
    As often, we cannot give a simple answer without more informations: what version of Photoshop and Bridge are you talking about?
    The rule of thumb is to update Camera Raw to the latests version compatible with Photoshop, and if it does not work, to download the last version of the DNG converter and use it on the files to convert them to DNG that can be opened in the older versions of Camera Raw and other raw converters.
    Normally, to update go to Help>Updates...
    According to http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.htmlhe first version of Camera Raw that can open the NEF from the 5200 is Camera Raw 7.3, that works with Photoshop CS6. If you version of Photoshop is older, you'll need to use the DNG converter 7.4:
    (but, since you don't state what operating system you are using, here are the links for both versions:

  • Will Photoshop Elements 11 and Lightroom 4 support conversation of RAW files from a Nikon D800?

    I'm currently using Photoshop Elements 9 and must convert RAW files from my Nikon D800 to .dng files before processing using a added converted.  I'm considering upgrading to either Elements 11 or Lightroom 4 but want to know if either of these programs will support the nikon D800 RAW files without having to go through this extra cumbersome step.   Additionally, if I do go with Lightroom 4, will the transition be easy or difficult and what problems might I encounter?

      Yes the D800 is fully supported in both applications.
    You would certainly benefit in processing your 36mp raw files using Lightroom if you have a 64bit PC or Mac with additional memory (RAM). The Lightroom develop module is where you do all the editing and you get the benefit of the full CS6 raw engine in an intuitive interface.
    If you regularly use the Elements Organizer you should understand Lightroom quite easily.
    Why not download the free trial of LR4 and test for 30 days.

  • I can't open NEF files of my Nikon D800 in PS CS 5.1 even though I have installed Camera Raw 6.7

    I can't open NEF files of my Nikon D800 in PS CS 5.1 even though I have installed Camera Raw 6.7.
    What's the problem?
    Any solutions?
    Thx!

    The D800 is listed as needing ACR 6.7/7.1.  That raises a red flag that might indicate that 7.1 is needed.  Since that requires CS6 you can not use that version.  If others confirm you need 7.1 you either have to upgrade or use the DNG converter with latest version, which I think is 8.1.

  • I need help! when I am importing my NEF files from my D3300 camera into lightroom 5 and try to use the "copy as DNG" button I always get an error message saying that "saying the file is not recognized by the raw format support"

    I need help! when I am importing my NEF Raw files from my D3300 camera into lightroom 5 and try to use the "copy as DNG" button I always get an error message saying that "saying the file is not recognized by the raw format support". The whole purpose of that button is so that the file can be recognized... How can I make the "copy as DNG" button work as it is supposed too?? Thank you

    Thank you for responding. So I essentially will never be able to use that button in lightroom 5? do I need to get LR 6? Will there ever be an update for LR 5 that will enable me to use it?
    Does DNG Converter work within LR or do I have to upload pictures to my computer and then make a second copy in DNG format. and then go into LR and use them?
    Thank you @dj_paige
