How to import NEF files from a Nikon Scanner?

I am not able to import Nikon NEF files which are generated by the Nikon Scan 4 software.
Anyone has had this problem, and did he/she found the solution (or the walkaround?

The Nikon Scan 4 raw format is not supported by Aperture, see the list of supported cameras: http://www.apple.com/aperture/specs/raw.html
As a work-around, save your scans in another lossless format, e.g., as TIFFs.

I'm running Lightroom 2.7 and Photoshop CS4 and can't open or import NEF files from a Nikon D600

Need help understanding why the NEF files created by my D700 work fine in both Lightroom 2.7 and Photoshop CS4, but the same file format created by a Nikon D600 keep getting a unkown error when I try to import or open them.

You can either upgrade Lightroom or use Adobe's Free DNG Converter to make a backwards-compatible file for LR 2.x to read. New camera support is only effected on current versions of LR and Adobe Camera Raw and your version(s) do not support the D600.

Importing NEF files from a Nikon D600

SO, I upgraded to LR 4.4 for its D600 support but still get "the files are not recognized by the raw format support in Lightroom" message. What gives?

Did you copy them to the computer with an older version of Nikon Transfer - one that is known to corrupt the files such that Camera Raw can't read them?

Does iPhoto v9.4.3 import NEF files from nikon D600

Yes if you apply the Digital Camera Update 4.01.

How to import raw files from nikon d750 to snow leopard

I can import raw files from my Nikon d80 to iPhoto on Snow Leopard without having to install Nikon software. However iPhoto won't import raw files from my Nikon d750. Has anyone out there had this problem?.

Mountain Lion is what Lion should have been in my opinion. I used Lion for a week and reverted to Snow Leopard. Another option is to have 2 operating systems installed, each on a different partition. You could then stay with Snow Leopard for most of your work.
Check to make sure your applications are compatible. PowerPC applications are no longer supported after 10.6.

Do a backup before installing.

I have used lightroom for years on my PC and just installed it on my new iMac. I cannot import NEF files from iPhoto or from my Lacie hard drive into Lightroom. I have tried Lightroom Help but still cannot import NEF files. What am I doing wrong?

I have always used Lightroom with a PC and now have installed Lightroom 3.6 on my new iMac. I cannot import raw (NEF) files from iPhoto (or from my Lacie drive for that matter into Lightroom. I have tried Lightroom Help to no avail. How do I import NEF files from the iMac into Lightroom?

If they are the same nef files that you were importing into your PC, see if the reason is an error message like the thread above this one. Permissions issue.

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.

See my reply to a later simplified version of your question. I don't think that either iPhone or iPad recognize RAW files such as NEFs. And the iPhone is not designed to be a mass storage device like a portable flash or portabel hard drive for temporary storage of files, if that's what you're after. As I mentioned in my previous reply, I have an iPad and have been experimenting with it as a tool for photography, hoping that it would be a nice travel tool for backing up and viewing photos from my Nikon dslr. But both the iPad and iPhone just are not set up to do that well. Both show photos nicely, but organization of photos is very frustrating since you can't create albums on the iPhone or iPad, but only back on your sync computer. (There is one very powerful photo organization app called SortShots, but you import photos to it and it organizes and stores the images wtihin the app not using the native photo app. It doesn't work with NEFs either.) I don't know of any RAW processing software for either device.

Is there a patch to enable Photoshop Elements 10 to import NEF images from a Nikon 7100?

I bought a Nikon 7100. The NEF files taken with the Nikon 7100 cannot be imported into the organizer. The error message is "the files selected to import did not contain any supported file types. The file is damaged or is in a format that cannot be included in Elements Organizer." The file is not damaged as the Nikon NX 2 program had no problem importing the images. Elements 10 was able to import raw NEF files from my D90 with no problem. Is there a patch to enable Elements 10 to recognize the format of Nikon 7100 raw NEF images? If not, is there another photoshop product that will import NEF images from a Nikon 7100?

For the 7100 PSE11 or PSE12 will work as support was added in ACR 7.4.
Cheers,
Neale

When I try to import raw files from my nikon d600 I get the message Unsupported image format, When I try to import raw files from my nikon d600 I get the message Unsupported image format

When I import raw files from my Nikon D600 into Aperture I get a tryangle sign with "unsupported image format"

Latest Adobe DNG converter (7.2) DOES indeed convert NEF pictures coming from a D600.
Head up to Adobe's website and download the app.
You'll only miss the focus information (focus distance and focus sensors used), but you'll be able to work with raw and not rely on jpg only!

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.

I just installed Camera Raw 8.7.1. It put the folders in a "Pug-Ins" folder under \Programs\Common Files. My Photoshop CC 2014 is in \Programs\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC2014. When I try to open a NEF file from my Nikon D750, CC 2014 says it cannot open 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

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:

For some reason is all my music gone from iTunes, but I do still have the songs on my iPod Touch... So my problem is that I don't know how to import my files from iPod Touch back to iTunes.

Hey all
I should export my music to another program, because I do also have this MP4, which needs some files. Well, I did that and it seems like Windows Media Player couldn't open the files, but then I go back to iTunes and I see all my files are gone. Nothing is left, and now I can't syncronize files to my iPod Touch without deleting all the existing files. So now the only thing I want to know, if it's possible, is how to import music (not from Apple Store) from my iPod Touch to iTunes?

You can use one of the third-party programs discussed here to transfer non-iTunes purchased music to a computer.
