How to access my RAW files for my Nikon camera

I have purchased a Nikon camera and I would like to be able to access RAW files.  I read somewhere yesterday my Raw file is not coorect.  If I recall it needs to be 6.3 and is at level 6.1.  I am running Win7

After several hours of frustration, I may have it resolved, but I haven't
had time to check everything out.
I am working with Photoshop Elements 9 loading Edit, selecting updates
which was where I ran into my first problem.  I don't recall the exact
message, but something about maybe a firewall conflict.   I took an
alternate route and found RAW file 7.1,  downloaded it and got the message
I needed to update Adobe Manager.  Took two tries, but finally got it
Manager updated.  Next I extracted and attempted to install 7.1.  Got
message didn't apply to my software.  More research, find RAW 6.5 and the
only way to install it was through update in Photoshop Element.  To my
surprise no problem with "firewall" and it listed I needed two upgrades:
both Raw 6.5 and Photoshope Element 9.3.  The update actually started to
work so I guess the New Manager resolved the "firewall" problem.
Upon completion, I got a two errors messages
Messages I received:
Photoshop Camera Raw 6.5 Update
There was an error installing this update. Please quit and try again later.
Error Code: U44M1I210
Adobe Photoshop Elements 9.0.3 Update
There was an error installing this update. Please quit and try again later.
Error Code: U44M1P2003
Error detail page suggested I reboot my compute which I did.   I went back
to update and the only choice listed was Elements 9.3.  After this update,
I only got one message:  same error #:  U44M1P2003.
I have not pursued this error further, but hope to do so.  Any suggestions
would be appreciated.
BUT, I DID LOAD A RAW FILE!  YEA!

  • 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

  • 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.
    http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/cameraraw8-4/?tabID=details#tabTop
    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)

  • Would like to purchase PSE 12 to process Camera Raw files for the following cameras: Nikon D800, Nikon DF, Canon G9 and Pentax K-3 does the Raw Converter that comes with  PSE 12 when purchased recognize  the cameras listed in the question or do I need to

    Would like to purchase PSE 12 to process Camera Raw files for the following cameras: Nikon D800, Nikon DF, Canon G9 and Pentax K-3 does the Raw Converter that comes with  PSE 12 when purchased recognize  the cameras listed in the question or do I need to download  the camera Raw Version 8.3 ?

    While the G9 RAW files can be read by Adobe Camera RAW and Lightroom, these file are unsupported at this time. Here is a link to Adobe's latest list of cameras that are supported and this list came out yesterday http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/cameraraw.html
    I have not done a comparison between Lightroom and Canon's software but others have and say that Canon's software is clearly better. I am sure when Adobe updates their software again to include the G9 it will be a very good RAW converter as it is will most other cameras.

  • Does Aperture support NEF RAW files for the Nikon D810?

    I am unable to open NEF RAW files for my new Nikon D810.  Are there any updates of suggestions.

    Apple has not yet reverse-engineered a RAW update for the d810. I would suggest that you shoot RAW +JPEG with all your NEF images on the CF card and put your JPEG optimal fine images on the SD card in slot 2. Save your NEF images and CF cards until the Aperture 3.5.1 RAW update for the d810 finally is available. In the meantime, you will have JPEG optimal images on your SD cards that you can import and process in Aperture. Good Luck.

  • Raw files for my Nikon D4s

    Is there a download available to enable me to read raw files from my Nikon D4s on my Mac please?

    You could download the free Adobe DNGconverter. It's a standalone software which can batch convert whole folders of your raw files to the DNG format that PSE11 can read, while keeping the advantage of raw editing.

  • How do you open raw files (NEF from Nikon) in the edit workspace on Elements 8

    how do I get raw NEF files (from Nikon) to open in the edit workspace of elements 8?  I have windows 7 , and when I try to open NEF raw files from the viewer, it says cannot recognize the file type.
    Thanks!

    What is your camera model? Every camera has its own raw format and the raw converter must be updated to work with it. If your camera model was new in the past couple of years PSE 8 won't be able to open those files directly.

I included the raw file in C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS3\File Formats. I have purged cache in Bridge and I still cannot view the raw files in Bridge. I only see a gray square with a Blue NEF. I can open the files in Photoshop however. What can I do to see the files in Bridge?

    Nikon encrypts RAW file data
    ByMichael R. Tomkins, The Imaging Resource
    (Wednesday, April 20, 2005 - 02:16 EDT)
    A news item posted on Sunday by PhotoshopNews.com reports on comments from Thomas Knoll, one of the original authors of Adobe Photoshop, relating to the RAW file format used in Nikon's D2X and D2Hs digital SLRs.
    <IFRAME src="http://208.43.255.194/cgi-bin/advertpro/banners.fpl?region=112&keyword=NULL" height="250" width="300" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" vspace="0" hspace="0" frameborder="0" align="middle" scrolling="no"> <A href="http://208.43.255.194/cgi-bin/advertpro/blink.fpl?region=112&slot=1" target="_blank"> <IMG src="http://208.43.255.194/cgi-bin/advertpro/bimg.fpl?region=112&slot=1&keyword=NULL" border="0" width="300" height="250" alt="Click Here!"> </A> </IFRAME>
    Thomas Knoll is currently the chief engineer for Adobe Camera Raw, the company's RAW file conversion software. The PhotoshopNews item references a forum thread started by Mr. Knoll in Adobe's official user forums, where he reveals that .NEF RAW files from the latest Nikon digital SLRs encrypt data relating to the white balance setting the photo was shot with.
    RAW file formats vary significantly between digital camera manufacturers (and often, between different models in a manufacturer's lineup), and the manufacturers generally won't publicly disclose the specification for the RAW file format(s) they use. Some will offer plugins or software development kits (SDKs) that enable their RAW files to be opened in third-party applications, but these generally have some limitations attached to their use.
    In addition, the companies generally offer RAW file conversion software of their own, either as part of their camera bundles or as an added-cost option. Nikon offer their pro SLRs with PictureProject software that includes limited control over the RAW file conversion process, and then offer the more feature-rich Nikon Capture conversion software for an added cost. In a recent publication on the company's Nikon Pro website, it suggested that it feels Nikon Capture is better-suited to photographers, while Adobe's Photoshop is more suited to graphic artists. Still, different photographers have different workflow preferences, and for this reason third parties such as Adobe often reverse engineer the RAW file formats, allowing them to be opened in their own software - sometimes with even better image quality than the original manufacturer's software.
    In a way, it is understandable that companies would want to encrypt RAW file data from their products - it allows them to pick and choose which competitors are able to open RAW files shot with their products, and allows them to generate new revenue streams from the sale of their own RAW file conversion software (or, if they choose, the sale of licenses allowing competitor programs to access their RAW file data). Nikon is not the first company we're aware of to encrypt data in RAW files; Sony's Cyber-shot DSC-F828 RAW files contain encrypted data. In that instance, however, Sony granted permission for Adobe to decrypt the data in their software. At the current time, Mr. Knoll states that while Adobe has signed a non-disclosure agreement that grants them access to use Nikon's SDK, they have not received any response to requests from Adobe that the company be allowed to decrypt the white balance data, which would allow closer integration with their software than is possible with the SDK.
    The fact that Nikon has chosen to encrypt a portion of the RAW file data would not be particularly problematic for third parties to overcome, were it not for certain laws enacted around the world in recent years. One such law is the United States' "Digital Millennium Copyright Act", often referred to as the DMCA, which makes it illegal to produce technology that can circumvent measures designed to protect copyright. One could argue that Nikon's encryption of the white balance data is just such a measure - which would make it an offense for a third party without permission to make software that could decrypt the original white balance setting used by the camera when the photo was shot. One could equally argue, however, that the copyright over the RAW file belongs to the photographer who captured the image - and hence the choice over what is done with that copyrighted work is entirely up to the photographer.
    Unfortunately, there's no clear-cut answer, and short of a company or programmer finding themselves in court for having cracked the encryption, there isn't likely to be such an answer any time soon. This presents a problem for third parties attempting to make their own RAW file conversion routines for the D2X and D2Hs, as if they don't want to risk opening themselves up to legal action, they aren't able to determine the original white balance setting. Hence, they must either request the white balance setting from the user as the RAW file is converted, or attempt to determine an appropriate white balance setting automatically (which would not necessarily be the same as that determined by the camera itself).
    Nikon hasn't communicated their reasons for encrypting the white balance information in their latest NEF formats, but we have to say it doesn't sound like a very good idea. While Nikon Capture does indeed offer excellent capabilities for people to manipulate images saved in NEF formats, many photographers and organizations have already established workflows based on Adobe's RAW plugin for Photoshop and other image-processing tools. The biggest consequence of this move on Nikon's part seems likely to be to push more photographers onto other camera platforms. It's hard to imagine that increased sales of Nikon Capture will make up the revenue lost from camera and lens sales going forward.

  • How to work with raw files from Nikon D600 in Lightroom 3

    I need to know how to process my raw files from my Nikon D 600 camera in Lightroom 3.6 and Photoshop 4?
    Message title was edited by: Brett N

    Support for the D600 was added in Lightroom 4.2.
    Updates are no longer released for Lightroom 3. The final update, 3.6, did not support the D600, so you cannot open raw files from this camera natively.
    You can use the DNG Converter to change your NEF files into open source DNG files that will open in any version of Lightroom, including 3.

    3. Use manufacturer's software and convert to TIF (or JPG)

  • Read raw files for nikon d5200 camera

    I have given up using raw files for several Nikon bodies such as the d5200 on Adobe software since Adobe no longer supports these files even with the updates that are supposed to support these files.  I can open the raw files fine using Nikon software to work on them and then save them as a tiff or jpeg to be used in photoshop, but this seems rather time consuming plus I lose the advantage of working on raw files in Photoshop.  You would think that a company like Adobe would make it easy to open raw files for all cameras.  Some bodies like the Nikon d300 raw files still work fine on Adobe software.

    ACR (Adobe Camera Raw) versions are specific to different versions of Photoshop.
    According to this link on Adobe's website regarding supported cameras
    The Nikon 5200 required at least ACR 7.3, but you need Photoshop CS6 to run ACR 7.3 It won't work with older versions of Photoshop.
    Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    You can download the latest version of DNG Converter and convert your 5200 files to DNGs that can then be opened in earlier versions of Photoshop.
    Here is the link for Windows: Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Windows : Adobe DNG Converter 8.4
    Here is the link for Mac: Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Macintosh
    The DNG Converter only works on folders of files, don't try to select an individual file to convert, Choose the FOLDER.

  • Anyone know how iPhoto '08 handles RAW files?

    I use Aperture right now...just wondering

    I've got issues with how iPhoto '08 handles RAW files from my Nikon D40. When I first bring up a photo in full screen, it appears soft and slightly out of focus. After 1-2 seconds, it sharpens to full focus but it also brings in additional digital noise. It is primarily visible in skies and areas with subtle color changes. Thankfully I'm not seeing the same in Aperture.

    I'm interested in seeing who gets the D7100 support first? Apple or Adobe!! I will go with the one that gets it out first.
    FWIW,
    Adobe keeps a quarterly release schedule for RAW updates. The current Lightroom 4.4 RC expires on 5/31/2013 which typically is an indication that the official release will be close to that date. According to the current list of new supported cameras, the Nikon D7100 is not slated to be supported (but that could change on release).
    http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/lightroom4-4/?tabID=details#tabTop
    The most likely time frame for Adobe support of the D7100 will be sometime in August or September 2013 (although there will probably be a Lightroom 4.5 RC available prior to that for testing purposes).
