How do I see thumbnails of the .NEF files I'm importing?

Windows Vista 64-bit Ultimate.  Lightroom 2.6.
When I go to import .NEF files off my card, sometimes I just want to import one or two that I need NOW.  The rest can
wait.  But LR onlyshows me filenames and sizes, and occasionally the date (I've seen the date ONCE recently.  Most of
the time it's blank).  In order to find the picture I want, I need a thumbnail.  How?
Chuck

In the import window, check the box that says Show Preview

    You should get the mobile version of YouTube which sends Firefox a notice to open it in the YouTube App. That will have a much better playback experience than running Flash in the browser.

    TThose aren't bins. Those are just groupings based on when the content was created or any other selected parameter. Use the action popup in the toolbar tho change the setting.

  • No thumbnails for Nikon NEF files in finder

    After upgrading to Tiger 10.4.2, Nikon NEF files imported through Image Capture no longer show a thumbnail image in the finder. The icon is a generic Preview document with RAW written on it.
    I also have an issue when I go to change the default application used to open these files. In the info window I change the "open with" application and then select change all . . . at this point I get the confirmation window, click continue, the confirmation box closes and the file reverts back to the original Preview icon. Perhaps these two issues are related?
    Anyone have an idea how to remedy these?

    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.

  • When I bought my D800, lightroom would not read my big files, so I had to transform them into DNG .. should I keep the DNG or the NEF files? Now, I started working only with the NEF, so I don't have this problem anymore -

    when I bought my D800, lightroom would not read my big NEF  files .. I went crazy…. so I found out I had to transform them into DNG .. should I keep the DNG or the NEF files? Now, I tried again and I am being able to work with the NEF files … don't understand…. anyway … I have to throw away some files … they are to big … should I throw the NEF or the DNGs? (as the DNGs are not edited yet…)

    Hard to say why you couldn't open them first time around...possibly low memory?
    In any event, as to the question about which to keep. This is a topic that is argued long and hard here and in other forums.
    For myself, I use only the NEF files and don't bother with DNG at all. Just can't see any long term advantage to force me to do all that extra work. Others feel that the "universal" format of DNG make it worthwhile.
    Either way, it's hard to justify keeping both (though a few people do).
    good luck

  • Starting in 2015 I get the following error when I try to import my photos. "The following files were not imported because they could not be read"  -DSC8416.NEF  I've been importing the same type of photos with no errors then 2015 came along and now I can

    Starting in 2015 I get the following error when I try to import my photos. "The following files were not imported because they could not be read"  -DSC8416.NEF  I've been importing the same type of photos with no errors then 2015 came along and now I can no longer import.

    The error message is misleading, the problem is that you need WRITE privileges added to the destination directory tree.
    Assuming you are using the "date" structure that LR defaults to, find the directory that contains the 2014 folder (the one that works) and add WRITE rights to the parent of "2014".
    While you are there, if you want, add "2015" folder to beside "2014" and add READ and WRITE rights to that new directory.

    Refer the below code. This will fetch the document number.

  • Pls help. My Camera Raw, CS6 and Lightroom won't read the NEF files from D610.

    I recently upgraded to Nikon D610 and the NEF files were not readable from my old version of Camera Raw, CS6 and Lightroom. So downloaded the recommended upgrades and I now have Camera Raw 8.4.0.199; Lightroom 5.3; CS6 13.01. But still did not read my D610 NEF's. Please help. Thanks.

    oh wait, i got it. Just in case for those who will have the same scenario. I downloaded the NEF files from my D610 using the old ViewNX 2.1 software and that was the cause of incompatibility. So i upgraded my ViewNX to 2.9 and downloaded my images again. And it worked this time.

    How to apply special right to the PDF  file using the LiveCycle Rights Management Server.?
    I want  to edit bar code field data using Adobe Reader. Bar Code field was designed and data was changing using Acrobat X1 Professional (Trial Version). But can't do so in adobe reader.

    I think that product has nothing to do with it. You would use LiveCycle Reader Extensions.

  • Why are the jpgs that are generated in my camera better than the ones i create from the nef file in camera raw?

    i shoot raw+ jpg in camera, for some reason the jpgs that come from my camera (nikon D300) always seem better than the jpgs i create
    from the nef files in camera raw. i am saving at the highest quality. the jpgs from the camera seem to have more detail in highlights
    better color more vibrant, sharper. could my camera be doing some enhancements to the jpgs before processing?

    I had similar thoughts back when I first started shooting raw. Really, it's just a matter of editing to your personal taste.
    Yes, that camera applies lots of presets before creating the jpeg, as Trevor.Dennis mentioned. Also, as he said, you can far surpass native jpegs with raw.
    If you need it more vibrant, make it so. If you need to bring down the highlights, do so. Need sharpening? Apply some.
    Here is one of my edits that I made a tutorial of: Sunrise Raw File Edit - Adobe Lightroom - Landscape Photography - YouTube. It is one of my less dramatic edits, but still a good one.
    I don't want to clutter this thread with links, but if you take a look at my Facebook page, I put a lot of before and afters up in January and February. A Google search for Benjamin Root Photography will bring it up.
    I shoot in raw, and highly recommend it.
    I'll leave you with a nice NEF RAW file before and after:
    BTW, D300 is a nice camera, I've used it...
