How to import Nikon Nef (raw Files) ?

Hello
I'm having problems importing Nikon Nef Raw files, PSE9 is displaying the message The file is damaged or file format
cannot be included. Any suggestions please.

You are going to need Adobe Camera Raw 6.3, but the only version that has been released is the Version 6.3 Release Candidate, which I don't think can be installed with PSE. You will have to wait until the final version of Adobe Camera Raw 6.3 is released.
The only workaround is to use the Version 6.3RC DNG Converter to convert your RAW files to DNG files, which can then be accessed by PSE.

Importing Nikon NEF Raw files into iPhoto

Recently I purchased a Nikon D810 camera and have been trying out various settings to determine the quality of picture I can get. As a way to run through the test, I took pictures with different RAW (NEF) settings. I also took pictures in JPG format for comparison.
What I have found is that iPhoto (version 9.6) will import all of the JPG files but only the RAW files taken in the Large 14 bit or Large 12 bit format. It will not accept the RAW Small photos.
Has anyone run into this problem? And, if so, any ideas about how o address this?
I am using a Mac Pro for this work.
Thanks.

That is what Apple's RAW support page says, so you can do nothing about it:
OS X Yosemite: Supported digital camera RAW formats - Apple Support
See the footnote at
Nikon D4S†
Nikon D810†
Notes
†Nikon RAW L format only.

I can't import Nikon NEF (RAW) files. It says it doesn't recognize the file. Help.

I just installed Nikon Transfer and then View NX2 with Nikon Transfer 2 and successfully transferred over 300 RAW (Nikon NEF) files from my camera (Nikon D600) but Lightroom (v5.6) won't import them. It says it doesn't recognize the files. How can I resolve this?

Obsolete versions of Nikon software corrupt Nikon raw files slightly making them unrecognized in Adobe products.
You can reverse this corruption by using the utility from the following webpage:

Basically you need to use Nikon software that is at least as new as your newest camera or don’t use Nikon software at all.

Can Photoshop Touch for iPad opens Nikon NEF RAW files? How?

Hi. With the current PS Touch version RAW files are not supported for the PS Touch import.
You can vote for this idea which goes in to the same direction.

OS X Lion does not sort Nikon NEF (RAW) files...

After my upgrade from Snow Leopard to Lion, I've noticed that Lion can't sort my Nikon NEF (RAW) files as it did in the past. It treats them like JPG images, no matter how I try to ARRANGE BY. Has anyone experienced this? Or perhaps know of a solution to fix it, as I shoot in both JPG and RAW with my Nikon D80 camera.
Thank you.

PathFinder is an alternative/complement to Finder.
It offers several choices including directories always on top followed by the files. Also split windows.
I use it and Finder - both have there places on my machines.
As a further note I found that on my MBA running Lion is is even crazier, Arrange by Kind scrambles the files in no obvious order.
Also looking at 10.6.8 I find that Arrange by KInd from the Action Button put the files in reverse alphabetical order by file type (NEFs before JPGs) while Arrange by Type from View in the Menu bar puts them in alphabetical order by file type.
I've had follow-up form Apple on my reporting of this....so we'll see what happens.

Photoshop CS4 will not open Nikon (NEF) raw files.

I recently tried CS6 Suite. Trial was over and I went back to Photoshop CS4. However, it would not open Nikon (NEF) raw files. I uninstalled and re-installed the PS CS4. This did not fix the problem. Can anyone help?

NEF files from which Nikon camera?

Nikon nef raw files

hi guys first vsit to the forum but hopefully not last!
i use nikon d90 usually with nikons own capture nx2 software which is great for just tickling photos a bit before printing but sadly lacking on the creative side, so bought elements 7 , now the images straight from camera won`t open in elements but strangely i had scanned images in and altered in nx2 which open in raw in elements? after reading up some answers i tried changing 8bi plugins ( ie moving old one and putting new one in its place but still they won`t open !!!! which is a tad annoying . it might sound stupid but i still don`t know exactly which bits are in conflict anyone tried this with this camera combination cheers

yes i think this was my problem , i just got myself confused! when i went back and deleted everything then reinstalled it it was fine , but many thanks for bothering to help i`m sure i`ll be back on with more problems cheers john

As John explained, one of the key mistakes people make is not properly deleting the old plugin that is in the File Formats folder.
Please make sure/confirm that you deleted the old plug-in or moved it entirely out of the File FOrmats folder. Renaming them, or moving them to a subfolder of File Formats won't work.
This has nothing to do with installing camera profiles.

Using a Nikon Nef Raw file with PSE 9

I am just starting to look at the RAW capability of my Nikon D3100, it comes with software called View NX 2 which your supposed to use to deal with the RAW files etc, but I am wondering how good is PSE 9 when working with (Nikon's) Nef RAW files? Should I be using View NX 2 for this?
Thanks.

Both are good softwares but PSE gives you some extended capabilities of editing and organizing.

How to open Nikon D7100 Raw files in PSE11? [was:upgrade?]

How do I upgrade my elements 11 since I can`t open RAW-files from my new camera Nikon D7100?

This is not the Photoshop forum, it is the Camera Raw forum. Your camera requires Camera Raw 7.4 or later. I don't know what versions of Camera Raw will work with Photoshop Elements 11. In Elements, you could try Help/update to see if that will automatically update you to the most current version available. Alternatively, you could try using the latest DNG converter with your raw files. But to upgrade to Photoshop Elements 12 just go to the Adobe product website and purchase an upgrade. You can download it and install. Adobe will e-mail you a serial number. Since you are purchasing an upgrade, the installation will look for your previous version and validate the serial number. It's a simple process to upgrade.

Error importing Nikon D800 RAW files into Lightroom 4.4.1

I do get an error like this while trying to import the files:
And then when I try to import them I get an error screen.
The files can be viewed with irfanview so they should not be corupted.

Have you used any Nikon software with them, perhaps an older Nikon Transfer or View NX? These are known to make newer Nikon camera’s files unreadable by Adobe products.
On way to test would be to take a new picture and move it to your hard-drive using either your OS-level functions (Finder/Explorer) or LR, itself, directly from the card, perhaps in a card reader.
The utility, here, can reverse this obsolete-Nikon-software corruption:

Photoshop C5 Raw: how to edit Nikon D4s Raw files in CS5?

Please help me update my Photoshop C5 so I may view my RAW files taken by my new Nikon D4s camera. I'm not able to find location to update.

I assume you mean Photoshop CS5?
Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
The D4s was first supported in Camera Raw 8.4 which is only compatible with CS6 and later versions.
So there is no update available to open D4s Raw files in CS5.
Why doesn’t my version of Photoshop or Lightroom support my camera?
Choices:
Upgrade to CS6

Download the free Adobe DNG converter, convert all D4s Raw files to DNG format then edit the DNGs in CS5

Nikon NEF raw files show up in Bridge as "Untagged RGB"

I have a D700 and shoot in the AdobeRGB color space. However when I click on a picture in Bridge, the Metadata window shows "Untagged RGB". Why is Bridge showing inaccurate file information, and, I assume, not interpreting and displaying the picture with correct colors?

Charles,
Raw files don't have colorspaces so the "Untagged" is essentially correct in that case. You select the colorspace when the raw file is developed, such as in Adobe Camera Raw.
Now, both Nikon and Canon allow colorspace to be selected in-camera and they will use this colorspace if Jpegs are being created.
In the case of raw files from the camera, I believe that the PC/Mac software provided by both manufacturers (Capture NX2 for Nikon?) will pick up a special flag from the file to set the default colorspace for the developed raw file to what was selected in camera. I am not sure about this though. Adobe Camera Raw, however, ignores those flags if they exist. In ACR, it will default to the colorspace last used for raw developing.
