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:

  • Cannot open a raw file from my Nikon D800,,,i have downloaded every and i mean every version of raw

    i am up to raw 8.3,,still getting an error message,,,frustrated,,,but still shooting in Tiff,,,would love to see a raw file open

    Unreadable on my computer. I also use a D800, so I know my computer can read them.
    Opening it up in a binary editor, I see the magic words "Nikon Transfer 1.1", which you've already been asked about twice.
    You need to update this software, or use something else. Old versions of Nikon Transfer are known to corrupt recent Nikon cameras' files.

    for info on updating or disabling it.
    You will need to download the raw files from the cards again, once you've fixed the problem.
    Personally, I stick my cards in a card reader and use Adobe Photodownloader, which is part of Bridge (which comes with Photoshop).

  • Why can't I open my RAW files from my Nikon D7000 ?? I can open RAW files from my old Nikon D70's but not my D7000...

    I can't open my RAW files from my Nikon D7000 on Elements 7. The files from my old Nikon D70s open but not my D7000... Any Idea why?

    Not sure what your version of PSE is but if it is PSE13 then you may need to update your product by going to
    Help >> Updates
    This ensures you get the latest updates to support all known cameras in the market.
    Old products may not have the latest updates so you need to use DNG converter for which there is a wonderful video that is self explanatory:
    Hope this helps.

  • Having trouble opening camera raw files. Already downloaded Camera Raw Update for Photoshop CS5. I have a pc.

    Please Help? Having trouble opening camera raw files. Already downloaded Camera Raw update. I have a pc.

    If the camera is fairly new then the version of ACR you have with CS5 won't be able to read those file. You'll need to upgrade to a newer version of Photoshop or use Lightroom 5.
    Once a new version of Photoshop comes out Adobe does not support updating ACR from the older version of PS.

  • I'm having troubles converting my raw files from Nikon D5200 (NEF) to DNG. I tried using Lightroom 4, but it didn't identify the folder containing the files. So i downloaded the latest DNG converter but that too didn't identify the files kept in the folde

    I'm having troubles converting my raw files from Nikon D5200 (NEF) to DNG. I tried using Lightroom 4, but it didn't identify the folder containing the files. So i downloaded the latest DNG converter but that too didn't identify the files kept in the folder location. So I downloaded DNG converter v7.3 for D5200. It identifies the folder and files; but it is giving me parsing error on trying to convert files. I'm running Windows Vista Home Edition SP1. Kindly advise. Thank you.

    I probably missed this detail in what you’ve posted, but do you see the thumbnails of the three cameras’ raw files in Finder if you don’t convert to DNG?
    What has happened in the past is that the Apple raw interpreter doesn’t read thumbnails of DNGs it doesn’t like, where at least one thing it didn’t used to like was embedded lens corrections for mirrorless cameras.  Are the Olympus and Panasonic mirrorless—meaning there is no optical viewfinder and everything is seen on an LCD screen or perhaps an electronic view finder?  If so the reason these are different is that the camera is doing the lens distortion corrections automatically and this information is stored in the raw files and in the DNGs but Apple doesn’t know how to use these embedded lens corrections or doesn’t know how to read the newer DNG spec that does allow for this information to be embedded in the DNG, at least.
    Apple could just extract the embedded jpg preview and ignore the other parts of the file it doesn’t understand, but it apparently doesn’t do this.
    What I’m not sure about is if the Apple raw interpreter still has this problem or if you’re on an older system without the latest updates for camera raw decoding by Apple.

  • 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.

  • Cannot open raw files from my Nikon D3200 in Elements 11

    After I found I could not open raw files from my new Nikon D3200 in Elements 10, and did a couple hours of searching the web site, I upgraded to Elements 11. Elements 11 also will not open the raw files from the D3200

    I found the solution in a Light Room forum.  The problem was I was using an older version of View NX2 to transfer the files. I uninstalled that version and installed the version supplied with the D3200. The files now load into Elements 11 with no problem. Apparently the old version affects the content of  the NEF files, as Elements was not able to recognize them, and gave an error message that the files were from an unsupported camera.
    Thanks for looking into this, Don Rieser  

  • DNG doesn't recognize raw files from my Nikon D800

    When I open DNG (v 7.1.0.354) and go to the folder my raw files are in the files are "grayed out." The files came from a Nikon D800. I want to use the files in Photoshop 5 (v 12.0 x64.) The camera raw plug-in currently inside Photoshop 5 is v 6.0.0.205.
    Advice ?

    Your camera is on the list of supported cameras for the latest DNG converter. It is also on the list of supported cameras for Camera Raw 6.7, which was the last update for Photoshop CS5. I cannot confirm that support because I don't have a D800. Is the DNG converter that you have the release candidate or the beta version that was out at one time? You might check for the latest updates and see if that makes a difference. I would also recommend that you update to Camera Raw 6.7.

  • I have iphoto '08 version with an imac osx 10.5.8. It will not read my RAW files  from my Nikon D800 - a very new model.How can I get it to read my RAW files?

    my somewhat old imac osx 10.5.8 with iphoto '08 will not read my RAW files from my new Nikon D800 camera - a new model on the market( 5 months or so). How can I get iphoto to read my RAW  files?

    iPhoto 08 would not read RAW files from that new a camera. You need to upgrade so you can get more up-to-date version of OS X and iPhoto. Another possiblity is see if iPhoto 11 will run on 10.5.8, if so you should update. You can also attempt to run Software Update and see if it finds a newer release of iPhoto 08 that supports newer RAW formats.

  • NEF RAW files from my Nikon D5300 will not open in Photoshop CS3

    Is there a plug-in or update I can download that will make it possible for my Photoshop CS3 to open NEF files in RAW.
    I noticed a similar discussion a couple of years ago and I followed the advice and as far as I can tell I have the most up-to-date version of my software, and the Camera Raw plug-in is Version 4.6.0.30
    I also have the same problem using CS5. Both versions say they cannot recognize the file type. Can I use a converter to make them a different kind of RAW file, but still a RAW format? I would prefer to simply be able to open them in Photoshop for editing.
    Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks.
    Barb

    I just checked the compatibility list again, and the D5300 requires Camera Raw 8.3 (Not 7.3) or Lightroom 5.3. You have Lightroom 5, but what exact version of Lightroom 5 do you have? It might require that you update your Camera Raw and your Lightroom in order to have support in both Photoshop and Lightroom.
    You can check your version of Camera Raw by going to the help menu in Photoshop, then about plug-ins and then Camera Raw. The dialog that appears will indicate what version of Camera Raw you have installed. It should not be necessary for you to use the DNG converter unless you feel compelled to.

  • Having trouble opening Crystal Report files from a document library

    I am trying to open Crystal Report .rpt files from a document library in either the native, client Crystal Reports software or in Crystal Reports Viewer. When I add the Crystal Report files to a document library and attempt to open them SharePoint displays
    a prompt asking me to save the file locally instead of opening the file. I have done a lot of research online and found several sites discussing similar scenarios, however, I have not been able to get these solutions to work. Here is a short list of sites

    Added the Crystal Report extension .rpt as a MIME type
    Installed the Visual Studio 2012 Crystal Reports Viewer toolbar
    Installed the 64-bit Crystal Reports runtime
    I have also created a solution file based off the Code Project site which partially works, but not quite right. In this project I have created a document library called "Crystal Reports rpt Files" and deployed the solution file to a site. When
    I open the Web Part Maintenance Toolbar I can see the selected .rpt file in the drop-down, but no Crystal Report file is displayed on the page itself.
    I am not sure what I am doing wrong. Does anyone have experience working with Crystal Reports and SharePoint 2013 (or earlier versions) that could lend some advice?
    Thank you,

  • How do I open my raw files from my nikon 7100 (NEF files) in adobe photoshop

    I recently downloaded a trial version of photoshop cc along with bridge and the adobe dng converter. All of which was suggested after finding out that my CS4 suite was no longer supported. I am sad to report that I still cannot open the files and the adobe support link offered no assistance on a trial version. How am I to know if it works or to be encouraged to continue with the cc versions after the trial? Any suggestions?

    Thanks!! Eventhough I had loaded the newest version of the Nikon software that came with my camera, I did not do it until after I had transferred my images using the pevious version for an older camera. Didn't think it mattered at the time since it seemed to transfer fine. I deleted all my raw files and repeated the transfer. Thank God I didn't have delete upon transfer selected and still had the images on my camera. Anyway, it worked and you have brought me up to speed and out of the frustrated artist mode I was slipping into. I no longer need the converter.
